Sinn Fein - Populism and Partionism

[EstebanSexface]

You haven’t outlined anything other than superficial reasons and then claimed you weren’t being superficial.

And now you’re claiming I’m being silly and theres no point discussing it. Which is your modus operandi to be fair

[EstebanSexface]

Mary Lou made no mistake. She knew it was better to show up, and that was more important than bad press. The bad press would come anyway

[glasagusban]

You claimed I have a problem with people attending funerals. That’s silly. If that’s the level of your response then grand, I’m not bothered to engage with that. Good luck and thanks.

But you have a problem with people attending this funeral.

@glasagusban

If you want people to accept SF as a political party that has broken from the past and has no links to the IRA, then don’t all turn up at an IRA man’s funeral FFS. It’s that simple.

@glasagusban

“We’re a 32 county political party now, we’re not linked to the IRA, we don’t go to senior IRA man funerals and pay homage, we’re bigger than that now.”

@glasagusban

The party is and should be bigger than some old republican heads feeling miffed that SF party leadership didn’t turn up at an IRA funeral.

for fuck sake Glas.

I don’t have an issue with going to the funeral but the “good republican” shtick for a lad who planned a bank robbery by holding bank workers’ families at gunpoint well after the Good Friday agreement annoys me a bit

[Tim_Riggins]

They still went to jail. It’s factually incorrect to say otherwise.

[EstebanSexface]

Touché

A FF man getting on his moral high ground about bank robbers???

[the_man_himself]

Go on…

What? You quoted four posts in order to deliberately misinterpret a simple point?

[EstebanSexface]

that going to a funeral is bad optics? Which you later denied making?

[Fulvio_From_Aughnacloy]

How many people lost their homes, jobs and some who took their own lives because FF allowed a banking crisis happened, kept their buddies out of jail and then forced the burden of the debt onto the citizens of the state?

You seem incredibly soft on white collar crime which has more far reaching consequences to a far wider variety of people so spare us the sanctimony when you vote FF.

[the_man_himself]

I think violent crime is worse than white collar crime, yes. Holding a family at gunpoint while their husband or father is taken to assist in robbing a bank is worse than white collar crime in my opinion

[glasagusban]

Ok, you want to continue to deliberately miss the point then. work away.

[farmerinthecity]

No evidence that Storey was involved in that.

[Fulvio_From_Aughnacloy]

White collar crime has much more victims and is perpetrated by people with power and ethical responsibility so spare us the sanctimony.

[glasagusban]

And politicians who are potential leaders of the country shouldn’t be lining up to pay homage to someone engaged in such criminality.

[the_man_himself]

His family will be able to sue a lot of papers and media outlets then

Michael Martin was a part of the cabinet that covered up Anglo and refused to close the bank. He’s now the Taoiseach
