Sinn Fein are not a Normal Political Party

What an apt username. I'm sure you think that you are making a clever point here somewhere. What you're really doing is exposing your lack of critical thinking and acceptance of murdering innocent children for some cause. It's warped.

There does seem to be a phenomenon amongst your crowd though of coming across as fairly thick and aggressive on this forum. It can't just be down to lack of education, it must be group think. The hatred of all state institutions by SF, especially the Gardai, will always colour your comrades thinking unfortunately also.

In short sf just has way to much of a scummy/ jailbird element following.

I’m NOT trying to make a point. I’m trying to find an answer. But no one can give me one. You all bitch and moan about the subsequent consequences but I’m only trying to find the answer to this ‘alternative’.

So what was the ‘alternative’?
Still no answer from you.
Would such an atrocity happened if the British occupation of our island hadn’t taken place.
Please please do hurry up. There are war torn countries awaiting your alternative solution to armed rebellion against a genocidal oppression.

The I.R.A. had a peace deal way back in 1973.

They then murdered over 2,000 people in the following 25 years and then accepted a worse deal in 1998 as their failed campaign of killing people who disagreed with them was never going to work. They even killed more Catholics/Nationalists than the Loyalists etc.

In history peaceful revolutions have succeeded more than armed uprisings etc.

They cannot justify the needless murder of innocent Men, Women and Children so they just engage in mindless whataboutism.

'Whatabout 1654..........Strongbow, Fionn McCool'.






They glorify child killers and men who murder women.


Absolute pondlife from the top down.

When was it again that The Provisional Irish Republican Army set up ?

1969.

That is a fact

As far as I know 1969 is still in the 1960's decade

So you sir are wrong.

As for me, I could not give a care about any other Republican organisation before them, the simple reason is that, on this Island we have the mouthpiece of the PIRA, known as Sinn Fein.

That same SF are and were and still are part of that same PIRA body, it is the same thing all managed by the same " shadowy characters " in Connolly House in Hellfast.

We have people who murdered people while on " active duty " in the armed section of the organisation now serving as Ministers up North and certainly huge supporters of them in Dail Eireann.

SF/IRA = Scum

You poor poor pity. You seem to think that those who set up the Provos in 1969 were a complete and separate entity to the IRA that fought in the Civil War; that killed the Minister of Justice in 1928 and supported Fianna Fail in a General Election in the early 1930s; that had a bombing campaign in britain in the late 1930s sending the likes of a 16 year old over to bomb Liverpool; that had the Border Campaign from the late 1950s into the 1960s. It was from these same people the Provos were set up because they'd fallen out with the Dublin based leadership who had become too focused on politics and had little interest in defending beleagured northern nationalists who were being petrol bombed and shot out of their homes in the north. THAT is what brought about the split into the Provos and the Officials. You in your ignorance seem to think that the IRA were all sweetness and light between 1923 and 1969 and that the Provos were an organisation made up of totally different people starting Republican violence anew. They weren't.

As true now as it was then.

'There was an alternative to IRA violence. John Hume led that alternative & the Nationalist people backed it. The IRA murdered 1000s of its own people, destroyed businesses, ruined young people's lives by selling them a twisted ideology & put the cause of Irish unity back decades'

Hows about your lot stop glorifying terrorists who burnt a woman alive in front of her 9 year old son.


It's not that hard.

"No alternative", O'Neill is some tramp.

And yet you don't criticise those who in this very county chased down children who'd been out playing soccer, and when they found them cowering in consecrated land, took the children away, shot them, and buried them in a disused farmyard. Shhhhhhhhhhhhh

Or those who captured a women, and a guy who did nothing out of the way other than be the woman's driver, take them away, shoot them after a couple of weeks in captivity, dump them in a bog, dig them back up for fear their bodies would be discovered, and dump them elsewhere. Then dig them back up again and throw their bodies on a bonfire to make sure there would be nothing that their families would have to bury.

These are the kind of people that Fianna Fail, and indeed Fine Gael tell us did great long ago and who attend annual commemorations for, but who point an accusatory finger at others because the people they commemorate wasn't quite so long ago.

"100 year old Irish Political Violence violence was great, but 50 year old Irish Political Violence was despicable" is the hypocritical motto of the smugeratti.

Aw no, are we at that strange time of year again where the sf rep vigorously justifies/ defends the killing of innocent children in order for sf to look normal.

It's a really disturbing outlook and a bit deflating. I think because they have been involved in so many killings and tragedies that maybe some Sf heads have become bit less appreciative of the value of life.

And it being that strange time of year again (coming up to the 22nd of August) we're to believe that Michael Collins had his enemies dealt with by guys using balloons tied to the end of small sticks and asking them very nicely to stop.

Gerard Brady, Ibec's head of national policy and chief economist, said abolishing Sarp “would risk damaging Ireland’s ability to compete for highly skilled staff”.

He said highly skilled and increasingly mobile workers are the key to competitiveness in an age where knowledge and intangible capital are driving global growth.

For this reason, temporary schemes to attract highly mobile skilled workers exist in 25 EU countries including competitors in the Netherlands, the UK, Denmark, Sweden, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal and Belgium.

“Abolishing SARP, on top of existing challenges in the rental market, public infrastructure, and quality of life, would risk damaging Ireland’s ability to compete for highly skilled staff and the investments they are crucial in delivering,” he added.





Tax the tech companies to the point where they relocate to more favourable tax jurisdictions.


Shinnernomics

Tell you what's going to be more risk damaging Ireland's profile and chance of attracting FDIs will be loss of reliable power. If we have power blackouts here we'll be seen as a sh*tshow by FDIs and not alone will new ones not be attracted but those currently here will move.

But shur FF-FG and the Irish Green Party are sanctioning more and more Datacentres which will gobble up vast amounts of our available electricity. Under their very bizarre strategy blackouts are going to become inevitable imho.

Gway you imbecile.

A negotiated peace by democratic mandate was always the ONLY alternative.


The PROVOs campaign of murder and terrorism achieved nothing only unnecessary bloodshed.

Is that true in Ukraine?
