Thereâs repeated statements by you saying you have provided it, but no actual sign of it.
I think we both know that if you had it then itâs no problem to post it up again in your next post. I will take your inability to provide it in your next post as acceptance that no evidence exists.
Yes - Tim and Tallback were getting pissy for two years - as were Mick Martin and Leo - about SF not taking their seats in Westminster â now weâre led to believe that they also believe the IRA are still in existence â I dont know how they square that
I said that the reasons put forward in SFâs manifesto were clearly either BS (that Westminister was a talking shop and not relevant to Brexit) or at the very least, no longer relevant due to the make up of Westminister and the clear impact it had on Brexit. I believed SF needed to take a decision to at least discuss that internally, but apparently that is an impregnable mandate and not alone would SF not discuss its continued relevance in the circumstances, there would be no change at the next vote.
FF and FG have a clear mandate to not go into government with the scum. SF have enough seats outside them to form a government, but cannot because the agents of change is a fantasy and lots of people have benefited more from being hurlers on the ditch than taking responsibility.
My view was that both FF and FG should have seen what was formed by the Scum and then reassessed. That includes the pre election promise not to govern with the scum. You see politics is grown up business, whilst the aforementioned hurlers on the ditch got great currency out of slating Labour for going into coalition and not meeting their mandate, others have to be mature.
If there is ultimately no way to form a government with parties other than SF, consideration of government with them should happen (to avoid another election and stalemate). I personally have a number or pre conditions for this. This would include;
a meeting of SF which confirms they are committed to the Constitution of Ireland, to be acclaimed by a vote
a confirmation that the 1938 âtransfer of sovereigntyâ to the IRA of the âRepublicâ is at the very least, no longer applicable but preferably, an admittance that this was historically wrong and a lie
a Statement from the IRA confirming they have disbanded
the full cooperation with security services north and south on all IRA or IRA members atrocities since the Good Friday Agreement, to be confirmed by the respective police forces as being in good faith
the removal of all persons previously sanctioned internally by SF for non cooperation on the various atrocities committed post GFA by the IRA, including that of the current housing minister of Northern Ireland
another one Iâd like is a statement confirming that Gerry Adams would have no involvement with any administration into the future
Those would be my preconditions, but Iâm sure others would have other ideas.
Thereâs a difference between ball hopping and being earnest⌠Itâs obvious when Iâm doing which. Tim is clearly being genuine above⌠Class consciousness is never far from lads minds when they are posting about SF.
Not true. Mary Lou and OâBroin are posh Dublin. Critics of SF IRA can rightly point to a sneaking regard it has for the IRA and itâs violence and the veiled threat of the local âcommunity worker/enforcerâ is still there.
Itâs semantics and refusal to refer to Ireland by its proper name also annoys people and confirms a subversive element is still in it.
