Sinn Fein? They have gone away, you know.

[Nally Stand]

Very apt given that Sinn Fein are now the poodles of the Unionist state!

you mean british state.. poodles of the british state

No Unionist State...run by the DUP...woof woof!

Democratically run by the executive in stormont you mean where your party of choice take part for as long as they last between growing things they shouldnt and being sliveens

Christ people keep referring to my party of choice, presumably the SDLP, just because I challenge SF positions . As a voter it is my right. I haven't voted SDLP since 1983.

Who all did that?

Did what?

Who are all the people referring to your party of choice? Lawnseed and....?

A couple of others on another thread.

That's awful Who were they?!

That's surprising, especially considering the amount of times you say " I not a SDLP supporter but....."

Morning Ireland reporting this morning that Chris Andrews is at the SF "think-in" in Carlingford today. Gerry A says he's not a member but refusing to say if he's going to run for them in Dublin.

I heard he had applied to join the party,and will need to be a member for at least 6 months before he could stand in council elections.

Still plenty of time then. But would most Shinners not be strongly opposed to this? Not just in terms of parachuting in an outsider as a candidate, but standing a candidate who was a FF TD between 2007-11, presumably voting with the then government on matters that have the country in the state it's in.

I suppose some would alright but if he joins the party and by doing so agrees to support all party policies,goes forward for selection gets selected by the party for council then don't see the big problem but others may see it different.We have selected an ex RUC and Unionist in the past so would be hard to argue against a FFer

[lawnseed]

FF + SF = Lawnseed's dream team.

Is this another one of your craptions

[lawnseed]

Apples i'm assuming you vote in nordie elections therefore 'Your' party of choice IS in government in the unionist run state if thats how you see it.

That's about right.

exactly "that's how 'you' see it"

[Maguire01]

Brilliant - SF has actually signed up Chris Andrews!

And Slugger has kindly posted some old tweets "from @brianformerff, later identified as ex-TD Chris Andrews"

Friday, Mar 23, 3.12pm @MaryLouMcDonald Hard to take SF/Adams lecturing Bertie on being corrupt after all they have done!! Keep out of it. #mahon

Thursday, Mar 29, 11am [twitter handle deleted] I agree with a lot of your views but given what SF has done to innocent people its a bit much listening to you pontificate.

11.01am [twitter handle deleted] Was it not corrupt to bury mother of 10 Jean Mc Conville. Is that acceptable to you. Selective outrage i thinks!!

11.03am [twitter handle deleted] What about the ink cartridges! was that okay? Hard to take SF being moralistic!! Its not their thing!

1.43pm [twitter handle deleted] knows all about killing given the amount of people Sinn Féin Reps killed over the years. #jeanmcconville

Wednesday, Apr 18, 12.39pm [twitter handle deleted] Ordinary working class people who have guns stuck in their face by your friends. they are the ones terrorised.

Partitionist!

And if it's about "the type of candidate the sheep prefer", surely that just shows that SF will do anything for power.

[armaghniac]

SF is looking for FF voters, so this seems logical.

actually nearly 80 years of modern Irish history shows clearly that ff are the dominant Irish party. therefore it follows that Andrews is the type of candidate Irish people like to vote for. he would not be my type of candidate and were he representing my area I would not vote for him. joining the party doesn't mean you'll be selected to run in an election.

I suppose if your hero Conal was to turn up looking to join sinn fein you'd get equally exited. but we've enough strays for now.
