Sinn Fein? They have gone away, you know.

Brings back memories of that tweet in the Presidential election.

Anyone know what this is about: http://www.paulmurphy2014.com/sinn_fein_dirty_tricks_circulation_of_fake_facebook_conversation

There was a fake twitter from Paul Murphy saying he was deliberately telling lies about SF on water charges just to get elected.Mary Lou it on Facebook but when she discovered it was awake she has sinceut up a post to Paul and apologised.

I don't understand a word of that.

A SF supporter posted up a screenshot of a 'conversation' he purported to have had with Murphy on Facebook, where Murphy was suggesting that SF may well be sincere on water charges, and essentially he was doing what he had to do to try to get elected. The screenshot was tweeted by Mary Lou and Lynn Boylan, and the usual host of SF fanboys that swarm Twitter. It was then found to be a fake and they nearly all deleted it, some apologising and others not. While it's hard to see SF losing DSW, Murphy's campaign does seem to have jolted them somewhat, considering their promises regarding water charges last week and the posters put up about it. Then this smear job is planted to try to undermine Murphy. It says a lot about SF, while they can produce a positive campaign, if under pressure or looking unlikely to succeed the smears begin, and they have enough willing idiots active on social media to facilitate it.

SF election machine was always very good and is getting better. This sort of thing has gone historically with a lot of political parties. At least SF and Mary Lou apologised.

I'll give you some credit in assuming that Connolly House didn't provide you with that one word reply. Though speaking of willing idiots....

Nothing to do with me, don't know who this Martin Og character is, not as versed in the Belfast republican spats as others, but that is your default response to anything he ever posts where he is being critical of your cult of any nature, it's quite predictable by now.

Well if you don't know anything about it you shoul keep your snout out of it.Martin Og and Dee head up his cult, but sure the Shinners the only ones allowed to be insulted.You would be better just commenting on subjects you know about.

Well maybe you might at least enlighten us as to who these people are and what group they represent, RSF, Eirigi, RNU, 32CSM etc. rather than being so dismissive. Incidentally the shinners might get insulted, but you and your buddies haven't exactly been behind the door in giving it out about other parties, as indeed other parties often get slated by a variety of posters here for one reason or another, the difference being few here see themselves as obliged to act to defend those parties since its a GAA forum and most people post here because of that, and even if a few may have certain affinities towards a party, they aren't so wrapped up in the cult mentality as shinners like you are that they feel they have to throw out retorts to even the mildest criticism of the party.

Sure I wasn't talking to you I was answering Saffrongael and he knows the people I am talking about.I will throw out retorts to whoever I like and will not wait on your permission to do so,now go and inform yourself about subjects you want to stick you nose into before commenting on them.

An absolute cracker of a performance from Phil Flanagan on Nolan. Clueless isn't the word - absolutely ripped to shreds. Well worth a listen. You'll either laugh or cry, depending on your particular allegiances.

The thing is, he was actually on the right side of the argument. It should have been like scoring into an open net. Yet he managed to made a total mess of it. A real insight into how well SF is on top of the detail.

SF has also been caught bluffing on their welfare stats, quoting a NICVA report and claiming that welfare reform will take £750m out of welfare. NICVA has come out and said that over £500m of that has already been taken out and that SF is reporting on historic figures. So either SF is bluffing, or their politicians genuinely don't understand.

Then there was Maeve McLaughlin on GMU this morning on the abortion issue, unwilling or unable to give a straight answer to the interviewer on the party's position - caught between the more liberal party in the south, and playing to the 'catholic' vote in the north. SF really lacking the courage of their convictions on this one.

SF like most political parties on this Island have a couple of clever guys and a lot of stupid eejits elected on the back of parish pump politics and Flanagan is one of these. We don't get able people entering politics here as a rule because of the uncertainty in employment terms. Perhaps time north and south to have a list system where parties can bring in people not reliant on support for local issues to get the over the line in an election. Another solution is to drastically reduce the size of the assembly to widen out the constituencies thus avoiding people getting elected on single localised issues. Although a list would be best.

Too true. Look at the new minister for health. An inbred from kilkeel who believes the world was created 2000 years ago. Just like the last minister for health. Clowns running the place.
