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

I studied this period for a history module way back.

I remember being struck at the time that it was a fairly sleeveen attempt to finish off SF for once and for all.

The FG Hayes practically says it in that Dàil debate. It was also evident in other reading. Civil War politics in full flow with history re-writing, track covering all going on.

P.S. i will add too, that like now Separation of Powers was far from distinct. This state has never quite managed that convincingly.

And it smacks of desperation to be the good terrorists to try and dispute it.

The best that can be said is whole era is clouded in jockeying to be the 'legitimate party'.

We have after all been listening to this since the state was founded. How funny that those who fought so hard to be distinct are now coalescing to keep out the one they tried to get rid of.

😂😂😂 no answer when your lies falls apart

remember what i said about a pattern emerging ?

aw so you dont understand the situation in even the most simple way thats very very clear

what with calling every one who makes you look silly goy btw ? is that and effort at trying to make yourself feel superior or what ?

aw but you haven't because its not true blazz , thinking your right doesn't make it so , its like shouting peaceful protest as you throw rocks at the police , do you understand ?

your lying again about what i said about those murdered by the ira

read back and see any investigation would be welcomed and those who have relevant information should be compelled including members of sf , i was very clear about that but you ignored it for your own reasons

as i ve said multiple times already yes of course you keep ignoring that , every one with information ,including sf members dont you agree ?

so whats with the goys thing its weird ?

Both

Cathal Goulding called the MacStiofan's splitters the 'Provisional Alliance' and the press abbreviated it to identify the two factions. The IRA also split the year before and were referred to as the Provisionals or Provo's to distinguish them from the Official IRA.

Handy nicknames/monikers that I don't think either refer to themselves as. (maybe they do now because of familiarity and length of use.

Know your history mike.

Yes Brendi, actual history would tell you that is not what Ford said at all, a journalist cleaned up what Ford ACUALLY said.

History can be altered/slanted/or damn right lied about and is usually written by the victors or those in power. It's never clear and clean when you dig down into it.

I see no broken link back to the origins of the party. (A legal case about money doesn't break the link. Dev outlines what happened to the party pretty clearly in the link I posted and it is clear that while it went into the doldrums, there was still a party there)

To be quite honest with you, it matters not a jot to me if they came up the proverbial canal in a bubble. They are here they have a mandate(the largest one of any party in this state) and some people need to get over that.

The history is interesting though and like all parties of the period murky as hell itself.

What?

Who is 'desperate'? Can you link to this 'desperation'?

And is it anymore or less desperate than others linking themselves to the good 'terrorists' of our struggle for independence while trying to exclude the bad 'terrorists'?

'Desperation' is in the eye of the beholder, clearly.

*Once again the fact is dudley72 that SF, 'provisional or otherwise' was not created anew in the 70's, no matter how 'desperate' you are to rewrite factual history.

'Provisional' SF came from a split in the party called SF with a continuous line back to the previous split and so on.

Where did they start this 'campaign'?

Not aware of a campaign on any social media, can you link to it?

Re: 'The North'.

The SF split happened in Dublin...'the Parnell Street branch' and 'the Kevin Street branch', ring any bells?

The modern SF party of Mary Lou/Gerry Adams came from that split. Deny it as much as you want, you won't change the fact.
