    Yes, its a thing called "War".

    Jonathan Ball, Tim Parry and countless others were involved in a war?

    Posters are completely washed out after the Big Phil campaign. Replenishing their energy now to be ready for Cushy Butterfield and Posh Boy's indignation tirade once the Dail comes back

    Or they realize how two faced Sinn Fein are so they are keeping quiet.

    There’s still a big story brewing about how a political party operating in Ireland and Northern Ireland can own 50 properties. That’s extraordinary. Where did the money come from to buy these properties considering there’s a ban on overseas political donations in the Republic?

    They also have 200 employees, which would cost millions every year in wages, employer PRSI etc. More employees than the Tory party in the UK, of the CDU in Germany. Who are these people, and what do they do all day? Are they the famous 'community activists' we used to hear a lot about?

    Getting back on-topic to discuss this point.

    https://www.irishmirror.ie/news/irish-news/politics/tds-spent-35000-taxpayers-cash-22599157

    We are told constantly that Sinn Fein are prudent with their finances and own their own constituency offices, which is why they have 50 properties, so you would expect as a result that they don't need taxpayer money for their constituency buildings? Wrong.

    "TDS spent €35,000 of taxpayers’ money sprucing up their constituency offices during the Covid-19 lockdown while people were being told to work from home, the Irish Sunday Mirror can reveal."

    Not only that but in a lockdown, they are claiming money to spend on their constituency offices. How could they have got work done during that time?

    Snouts in the trough.

    "The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which."

    Sinn Fein voters have been taken for fools to think they were any different.

    It’s seeing tweets like these that remind you of the utter atrocities the IRA carried out. A young lad out buying a Mother’s Day card.

    The sort of atrocity mandated by sociopaths like Bobby Storey. And it’s widely suspected a SF TD was involved in preparing that bomb.

    Not a normal party.

    Nice video of Sinn Fein councillor abusing her neighbours on the Independent.ie website today. Classy as always. Can't understand why they are not proposing her for Europe instead of Simon Coveny

    Would you have a link, dude? Can’t seem to find it. It’s not like they have many councillors.

    Actually this looks as if it dates back to 2016 by the look of it. Not sure why it was posted again. Gone off the independent page now. Assume it was an error - or maybe just the independent stuck for stuff to post

    It was the day even their knuckle-dragging scumbag sympathisers realised the PIRA were finished.

    How that TD I mentioned can sleep at night is beyond me. A psychopath I suppose. A dirty fücking scumbag.

    Instead of organising military style funerals for ex-terrorists or calling out maimed and injured people due to IRA bombings, perhaps SF should look closer to home and do their job they were elected to do.

    https://www.irishtimes.com/news/health/north-s-coronavirus-infection-rate-significantly-higher-than-republic-s-1.4342314
    The rate of new coronavirus infections in Northern Ireland is now “significantly higher” than in the Republic of Ireland or the UK as a whole, the North’s chief scientific officer has warned.

    So once again, NI is an outlier of how bad they perform.

    SF is in government there, so what is up with them? Out of their depth it seems, and people want to put them in government here in the south?

    Did you read the headline only, and then just give up?

    3rd paragraph in.
    Prof Young told The Irish Times he did not have a “simple explanation” for the increased infection rate in the North, which had performed “much better” than the rest of the UK earlier in the pandemic.

    But even more importantly, the 5th paragraph in.

    However, while the North’s figures were currently higher than those in the Republic, he said the numbers fluctuated and the outbreaks remained “broadly similar” on both sides of the Border.

    Like the rest of the UK, they don't count in full in the way that Ireland does, the incidence in the North and the rest of the UK is higher than stated.

    We also have had a number of Border clusters with unknown origins, presumably the North.

    Isn't that article discussing infection rates how do we count who has been infected, and who's not been infected any differently:confused:

    You're maybe thinking about death rates, but that article is about infections, hint - It's in the headlines and it's what the article is about afterall, keep up.

    "Presumably" why?

    Is there some data supporting this presumption, or is it because you might just be talking nonsense?

    No, not talking nonsense, before the recent outbreaks in meat factories, some of the higher incidence counties were on the border. However, let's face this, the real story won't be known until afterwards when the statistics, the method of recording, the amount of testing, the excess death rates etc., can be analysed and parsed.

    I'm not an Epidemiologist, so you're on the road to nowhere asking me the likes of that, but you may stop spoofing at this stage, because had you of read the article, you couldn't have missed that part where it states.

    Headline = shiny thing to a magpie.

    It hasn't gone away, you know....


    https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/northern-ireland/watch-foster-voices-frustration-at-sinn-fein-over-damage-from-storey-funeral-39501997.html

    "“Sinn Fein pushed very hard in the Republic of Ireland to have people acknowledge there was wrongdoing in relation to going to a golf dinner, but I think we all saw the scenes in west Belfast in relation to that funeral and the fact that regulations and guidance were breached at that time,” she said.

    The First Minister added: “There are investigations ongoing both at a police level and an Assembly level as well and we’ll have to see the outcome of all of that.

    “But I think it would help if there was an acknowledgement that there has been damage done to confidence and to messaging in and around Covid-19.”


    Once again, as they did with their grandstanding over an Irish languages act for three years, Sinn Fein are going to do serious damage to the Northern Assembly with their antics. Is it any wonder that not a single party in the South ever entered serious talks on a coalition government with them?

    It’s not trolling, dude. The two main parties in Norn Iron have way more in common than they think. Blaming almost everything on ‘dem uns’ is a common foundation on which everything else is built.

    They are both parties built on the principles of hate, mistrust, parochialism, and belligerence.

    Unlike other threads desperately trying to stay relevant, there is something of more substance than an occasional tweet to comment on. Here is an update with links from this morning, for example.

    Sinn Fein voted for the legislation a few days ago.

    Now they are complaining about it.
