The thing that really shits me is the “republican” protestors, in their british football team uniforms, holding up posters of Bobby Sands. [/quote]
Eh, you can like British football and be against British imperialism
:rolleyes:
Well seeing as Republican prisoners of war are still being treated as criminals and subjected to despicable treatment by prison officers, I doubt he would. The gallant Marian Price is now the victim of internment and has been placed in an all-male prison. Bobby Sands was a noble man and a person of honour and integrity - he would not support this kind of regime that does no justice to the term ‘peace’.
bobby sands was a villa fan-shows how inane fisty posts are
Fair play to the cork people giving the queen a proper welcome and not a premier league jersey in sight
Do we know if the Sinn Fein mayor of Cashel, whose name escapes me, met with Lizzie today ?
According to a report I read he shook her hand and had a few words with her
Brown I think? Yeah they shook hands all right
She’s coming back again soon too
Can anbody think an event in Irish history that is darker than this visit. The famine, WOI or CI don’t come close.
This week and next week will expose us as the forelock tugging simpletons that we are.
Why do we have to crave acceptance from the outside world? The stuff surrounding the Barrack visit is embarrassing. This is where your great great great great great great great great great grandfather once tied his goat to a tree.
Fuck off.
Barack? It’s Preesident Obama to you pal. His visit is different in that he’s the most powerful man in the World and he’ll do what he want’s (even though he is a democrat).
At heart we are still a nation of Florrie Knox’s

I remember the show twenty-one years ago
When John Kennedy paid us a visit,
Now the world’s rearranged–not improved, only changed–
But our heart’s in the same place–or is it?
Hey Ronnie Reagan, I’m black and I’m pagan
I’m gay and I’m left and I’m free.
I’m a non-fundamentalist environmentalist
Please don’t bother me.
You’re so cool, playing poker with death as the joker
You’ve nerve, but you don’t reassure us.
With those paranoid vistas of mad Sandinistas
Are you really defending Honduras?
You’ll be wearing the green down at Ballyporeen
The town of the little potato
Put your arms around Garret and dangle your carrot
But you’ll never get me to join NATO
Hey Ronnie Reagan, I’m black and I’m pagan
I’m gay and I’m left and I’m free.
I’m a non-fundamentalist environmentalist
Please don’t bother me.
Do you share my impression the world’s in recession
There’s rather too much unemployment?
Still with Pershing and Cruise we’ll have nothing to lose
But millions in missile deployment.
We can dig shelter holes when we’ve bartered our souls
For security then we can shovel
While the myth of our dreams turns to nightmares, it seems
From the White House straight back to the hovel.
Hey Ronnie Reagan, I’m black and I’m pagan
I’m gay and I’m left and I’m free.
I’m a non-fundamentalist environmentalist
Please don’t bother me.
Since the Irish dimension has won your attention
I ask myself just what’s your game
Do your eyes share the tears of our last fifteen years
Or is that just a vote-catcher’s gleam?
Your dollars may beckon, but I think we should reckon
The cost of accepting your gold.
If we join your alliance, what price our defiance
What’s left if our freedom is sold?
Strange that a Tea Party supporter would stick up for him, you think he is a communist don’t you?
The sooner this bitch fucks off back to London the better. btw, there are far more west brits in this country than I first thought. disgraceful!!
SAS
Cork is being exposed for what it truly is today.
I must say Flano is an even bigger legend in my eyes after this thread.
God bless you sir
