What did for the miners’ strike in terms of public support was when a taxi driver who was driving a scab to work, was killed when a concrete block came through his windscreen

you seem to be supporting the killing of wilkie.

surely the RIC and DMP were greater scabs than wilkie’s fare

[glasagusban]

@Fagan_ODowd

Will we be commemorating the civil servants, nurses and teachers next?

Yes. I hear we are getting our long overdue massive pay increase to mark the occasion also.

Socialist Sidney want’s us to commemorate the military agents of capitalist oppression.

Will he be advocating for a 10 year commemoration of the poor lads who had to go around repossessing peoples houses after the crash? They were only doing a job etc.

Ye won’t get that till after the election, no point buying votes and giving civil servants the chance to vote against you anyway.
On the plus side FF will probably try to outbid them.

[Sidney]

Nobody’s forcing you to commemorate anybody mate and I won’t be commemorating anybody

It’s yourself who’s telling others what to do

hes a great lad for taking up the cudgel for groups who would in all likelihood take a cudgel to him

''When a Sinn Féin TD wore an Easter Lily into the Dáil as a mark of respect for all those who died for Irish freedom, Fine Gael slammed it as ‘offensive’ ‘’

But we must respect all traditions on this Island.

At this stage I’m feeling pretty confident the RIC won’t be taking a cudgel to me

maybe a commemorative cudgel

@Sidney

It’s possible to think police acted abominably during the Lockout and that British rule in Ireland was a bad thing and still think that killing people merely because they were in the RIC was also a bad thing

That’s not quite the same as commemorating them though is it? Commemorating can be interpreted as a validation of the acts they perpetrated.

Grand so - we shouldn’t commemorate the civil war because to do so, under your logic, is to validate it

[anon61878697]

You’re right — do away with commemoration - introduce learning.

FG and SF wearing symbols to annoy the other and then objecting to each other wearing symbols is two sides of the same gobshitery

[anon61878697]

Again, I have no interest in what these fuckos wear — FG telling us to grow up and accept all traditions on the Island – speaking out of both sides of their mouth.

those who fail to learn from history e.g. FG and FF, are doomed to repeat it.

Good point Captain Catchphase

Yeah but SF are doing the exact same thing while simultaneously contradicting that

This whole squalid little affair exposes child like gobshitery on all sides

[anon61878697]

That’s why it should all have been taken out of politicians’s hands.

[myboyblue]

And the civil servants, don’t forget those useless cunts.

I doubt CO’s get too involved in these matters.
