Agreed. I’d vote for his lot if they had a candidate in my constituency

Dont think he chose wisely though in teaming up with the other two

farmerinthecity · September 20, 2015, 9:33pm

Agree

I see that uber cunt Dermot Lacey was slagging him off on twitter.

The sweat pouring off Mary Lou McDonald’s face as she stood behind Martin McGuinness during his briefing to reporters at Stormont today. She’s an incredibly burly unit these days.

myboyblue · September 21, 2015, 9:13pm

That’s being kind. If she gets any bigger Cameron will be around to fuck her.

tazdedub · September 21, 2015, 11:24pm

She modeling herself on Mary Harney, another big unit. If sinn fein get in, I wonder will she be made minister for health?

iron_mike · September 22, 2015, 8:18pm

Sinn Fein wont get in.
The shite up North at the moment and all the shite during the summer is finally starting to damage them. For them to have any hope Adams and at some stage McGuinness will have to go. Adams wont even consider it until after the 1916 centenary stuff is over

flattythehurdler · September 22, 2015, 9:02pm

Agree about Adams actually, I think he is finally becoming a liability, though one shouldn’t underestimate his positive impact overall on the peace process. McGuinness, though, why would you see him as having to go?

iron_mike · September 22, 2015, 9:11pm

Purely from a commercial perspective from a Sinn Fein perspective. McGuinness has done a lot to improve his image and the best thing he did was come clean about his past. However he imo is the last big name to be associated with the IRA and in order for Sinn Fein to have a clean sheet, as such, he will have to go at some stage. However he is a lot more affable than Adams.

flattythehurdler · September 22, 2015, 9:19pm

I’ve always thought a lot more of mcguinness for the reasons you mention. He seems an alright sort these days. I thought from over the pond that he had avoided the fug of suspicion and deceit that swirls around Adams. He would be a hard man to replace no?

iron_mike · September 22, 2015, 9:32pm

He would indeed and to be honest I would have a lot of time for him. But think about it. If and when Adams goes, they ll go after McGuiness. I guarantee it. The Sinners may not get into government this time around but when Adams goes it will be time for Mary Lou to get rid of the old guard and thst includes McGuinness

flattythehurdler · September 23, 2015, 6:15am

Mary Lou has backed Gerry to the hilt throughout, at least publicly. Do you think she is ruthless and decisive enough to do for the two people who are largely responsible for bringing the party toward the mainstream enough that this conversation can be had? It may take a leaner and hungrier Brutus.

Juhniallio · September 23, 2015, 7:57am

I wouldn’t doubt marylou’s hunger.

Endas drinking tae and having high jinks in a field in Laois as he locks down the votes of rural Ireland. This won’t even register.

anon61956325 · September 23, 2015, 10:08am

Rural Ireland is dying, pal…have you not read all the reports? He’s flogging a dead horse.

myboyblue · September 23, 2015, 10:36am

Rural Ireland has once again saved this country, despite the efforts of townie cunts to marginalize it. Rural Ireland will defend itself if needs be and it will triumph once again as it has done time and time again in this country.
