The wondrous adventures of Sinn Fein (part 3) Mod Notes and Threadbanned List in OP

Sephiroth_dude

Part 1 here
Part 2 here

All mod warnings from part 1 remain in effect

All thread bans from previous threads remain in effect

I have updated the OP of this thread with a list of threadbanned users, I would advise posters to check on this before posting in the thread again or a forum sanction will be imposed for breaching same.

If you want to discuss your threadban feel free to PM the banning mod (or myself if you can't remember who that is and I'll point you in the right direction).

The topic is SF, not other political parties or politicians from other parties

Final warning - permanent threadbans for any posters trying to make it a discussion of other parties (where there are already active threads running for most of them)

A vexacious and time wasting charade really is all you can say about it. A cohort didnt get their way and threw the toys out.

As well as putting the bereaved through unnecessary grief it only served to destabilise.

Hopefully like other mistakes made around Covid it is over and people stop exploiting it.

The independent inquiry focussed on the actions of the PSNI. It did not clear Sinn Fein of anything.

Similarly, a GSOC inquiry would not rule on the guilt or innocence of a person accused of criminality, it would only focus on the actions of the Gardai.

You can use the example in that way.

It did not clear Sinn Fein. They were not part of the terms of reference. Effectively, the independent inquiry said that the PSNI had no option because of the politically-sensitive nature of the funeral - that is on Sinn Fein.

smurgen and Barry904 if you want to discuss Fine Gael do it in the relevant thread. Drag this thread off topic again and you'll lose access here

Some form of united Ireland will likely be delivered by demographics within the next 10-15 years. SF/IRA activities over the last 100 years won't have hastened that by a day.

That's what you think, who knows what situation we might be in today if it wasn't for SF\IRA.

If Mary Lou deals with the 26 countries republic why then does she keep running up to the north at every opportunity.

Because she is an Irish woman, she is a politician in the 26 counties but cares about all the men, women and children of Ireland equally.

Mary Lou confirmed in a note to SIPO last year that Sinn Fein operate as a partionist party, so different operation in the 6 counties.

I think Michelle and Mary Lou are puppets with Gerry pulling the strings. The stranglehold Adams and McGuinness had on SF is not usual in a Democratic Party. All democratic parties are subject to leadership challenges or transparent elections. Apparently SF are a special breed of Democratic Party.

Connolly House,dude, that’s where it’s at.

You'd want to get your story straight. Tripping up all over the place.

It's very easy to confuse the puppet with the master puppeteer - that's the art of the presentation. Mary Lou was put forward as heir apparent, no debate needed.

During the government formation talks, Gerry took part in the SF negotiation team, despite having stepped down. FF didn't invite Cowan or Bertie and FG didn't invite Enda. It does make you wonder about Gerry and the Army council.

Senior republicans? Unelected officials? Not named?

My fathers from Belfast, my mother's from Derry. I have known about Sinn Fein since i was in my nappies.

What i do know is that they are gaining more and more seats each general election in ROI the last 20 years and are now one of the 2 largest parties in the 26

I think the problem comes from this sentence in the newspaper article:

"The decision came from the party leadership following concern over recent disappointing election results in the city."

I don't think anybody is clear on who the party leadership is. There are some who believe that Mary-Lou McDonald is the party leader, there is another reasonable opinion that the boys in Belfast run the party and make the decisions. I can understand why the newspaper hedged their bets on it.

Dissecting the Indo.

Let's not beat around the bush here - why did the army council of the IRA decide Anderson was no longer fit for purpose, and is this something they can also do with their politicians down South?

I mean Anderson served a life sentence for planting bombs outside pubs, so she'd be very highly regarded amongst the crew who get maudlin about mass murder.

Is there more to this story than meets the eye? Obviously internet gossip is just that so only asking the question.

"Speaking to Independent.ie, Sinn Féin TD in Cavan Monaghan Matt Carthy denied the two MLAs had been “humiliated”.

“I don’t think Sinn Féin has humiliated anybody, we’re all elected representatives,” he said."

"Mr Carthy said “tough” decisions must be made to “maximise” the party’s success in elections."

The big boys have spoken. The women will have to stop moaning about tough decisions.

Can't see the problem. If you're not pulling your weight, good luck.

Mary Lou does not deal with parties matters in the 6 counties. Michelle would be the leader in the 6 counties.

The conspiracy theories are great to read though, even if you don't know whos in charge of SF in the 6 counties

Bit partitionist of Mary Lou as leader of SF not to be involved in affairs north of the border.
