Who's in control of this new brush though?

Democracy can be such an inconvenience.

Anybody watch 'Sinn Fein - who are they' on TV3 last night? Was it any good or was it going over old stuff we already know?

I saw the first ten minutes and then recorded the rest.  Up until then it was mostly an interview with GA and going over the Disappeared and Were You In The IRA? territory.

Need you ask? And for even more of the same, BBC are doing a spotlight show on SF tonight too.

[sheamy]

The BBC seem to be totally obsessed with Adams at the minute.

[imtommygunn]

They'll be getting a lot of flak for unmasking that guy "Winkie" Irvine or whatever he was called and will be tryign to even up the score to keep some people happy.

I can't make my mind up about Adams. On the one hand I recognise that he had to be on the inside to deliver the peace process. Credit also to him and McGuiness they were at it since 1972. His TV personality is grating though and I find it hard to take him seriously. I also can't fathom why he denies IRA membership, when quite clearly the Brits wouldn't have engaged with him in the '70's had he not been involved. I have some sympathy over the situation with the neice, however SF's attitude to Cardinal Brady was a little hypocritical.
I also think that SF have kind of lost their way and opened up the field to this whole NI identity thing. If they aren't careful the little Northern Irelanders in the SDLP will peg them back.

Keep saying it and thought by this time you would have grasped it,should everyone who was in the IRA walk into a police station admit it and risk being locked up.The only people who admit they were in the RA are those who have already served time for it,Touts like Sean O Callaghan,and drunks in a bar talking s###e.

Indeed there will be all sorts of people claiming bragging rights, mandates and moral justification from 1916.
