I quoted you specifically.
If you canāt deal with those being discussed then Iām not sure what the point of you being here is?
You seem to think you have some special insight into the oppression of Catholics in Northern Ireland. Itās the same wheez that Brolly and AGM go with.
I was talking to a neighbour yesterday, she was telling me that entry to her university course of choice wasnāt made any easier by āsoutherners coming up and taking our placesā. Sheās a nice kid, her oul lad is a gent and sheās only seventeen. Itās the same mindset really, but thereās an excuse for her and sheāll grow out of it. I wish i could say the same for a few of these lads.
Iām not here to hold your hand.
Just had the DUP canvassers at the door there. Iv taken a look and particularly enjoyed the section that states āSince 2014 Ian has sought to work hard and bring a new style of politics to the town. He has worked closely with local community groups, the bands fraternity and loyal orders to help achieve funding and assist them with their needsā¦ Ian and his family attend church regularlyā. I wouldnāt usually entertain them or read the literature in detail but I saw @Tim_Riggins had tagged me multiple times in a single post - I knew reading the DUP leaflet would leave me more enlightened than anything in that post.
Just had a listen to the Podcast in question there which may put me in the minority around here. An absolute Tour de France from Joe.
we dont deserve him
And youāll give yourself a pat on the back for sharing a pint (or baked good in the DUPās case) in time.
Joe will make a fantastic president after Miggeldey
One of the great features about Trinity College is the amount of NI Protestants that go there.
The genuine all-island ethos is to be found most of all at Dublin University.
I donāt need a gobshite like you to tell me about the ethos of one of my alma maters
He drives all the TFK mini Brutonites absolutely batshit
Do you reckon heās genuinely angling for this? It would definitely tally with his effort to up his profile over the last year.
If SF run Gerry could that be problematic for both though?
If youāre going to and try and impersonate a County Londonderry celebrity you should at least make the impersonation believable and go for Frostbit Boy.
Heās gone to Malaga.
Joe only has one alma mater
Joeās alma mater is Trinity College Dublin.
Yours is Clown College Claudy.
Well when Brolly made the point 6 years ago that the maiming of a PSNI member by a bomb and lack of support from his GGA club was vile, I was in full agreement with him. Indeed many of those celebrating him now were bashing him then.
My issue with Brolly is that there is a very transparent Provo justification campaign going on that he engages in. He is all in for reconciliation and forgetting the past when it suits.
This was the mindset that led to the Provos. Itās also the same mindset that says parts of Lithuania and Poland are still Germany.
Itās the mindset of the dissos.
The mindset of the dissos at least has some perverse integrity - they recognise that Northern Ireland is still British. And therefore thatās their justification for blowing up Peadar Heffron and Ronan Kerr and for the Omagh bomb. The same mindset the Provos had for 27 years.
The other mindset - that of Sinn Fein now - is preferable in that it at least stopped the murdering when it did.
But itās also filled with contradictions and dishonesties. It holds that murdering PSNI members now is wrong. But if itās wrong now, how could it have been right to murder RUC members then? Whatās the difference? Northern Ireland is still British. Whatās the difference? Gerry Adamsās say so? Who is Gerry Adams or Michelle OāNeill or Mary Lou McDonald to say what was justified when and what is not justified now?
If Northern Ireland is still British, and it is, what was all the murder for? It was a total failure. It achieved nothing.
This is the central delusion at the heart of Sinn Fein still. It has to dress up three decades of failure, of nihilism, as āthere was no alternativeā. TINA. That was Margaret Thatcherās favourite phrase.
But there was an alternative. Sinn Fein know this because thatās the alternative theyāve been pursuing since 1997, when their previous strategy failed once and for all.
The only conclusion one can draw is that those marching for civil rights in 1971 could easily have signed the good Friday agreement in 1997 but chose to be shot and water cannoned instead, in 1971.
Iām voting for the monk.
