I see Micheal Martin too the opportunity to fake a dig at SF for removing old statements from their website. He called it "Orwellian".

The very next day, it transpired that FF had also removed every statement from their website that pre-dated Martin becoming party leader.

He has, shockingly, refused to comment.

Do you think these lads have changed their view on Russia? Should they be criticised for changing stance too?

Id have thought a party changing position was a good thing and was something to be commended, particularly in the light of an unprovoked invasion.
To do so otherwise shows stubbornness.
Yet trash will try to make a story out of something because folks who dislike SF will lap the story up and buy their newspaper, increasing circulation numbers and advertising revenue.

Maybe these people would prefer SF were like the TUV?

It's good to be open to change but it's not so good to await public opinion polls etc and then do it

Shallow look

Awaiting opinion polls? How do you figure that? Aren't there opinion polls on an almost weekly/bi-weekly basis?

When you're a populist party like  SF with no polices you have to expect this ridiculous carry on.

All they are about is criticising everything. The day they have to actually make major decisions in government is a frightening day. They've no history of governing &all they do is shout sound bites they think the electorate will like.

Basic things like budgets & limited spending are meaningless to them & that's a frightening thought

To be fair they do have a history of government in the North albeit it's a Mickey Mouse operation, they are in a coalition and they can blame Tory austerity. But I can't think of too many successes, unless you want to count the odd handout policy, which are grand, unless you're in a real government and actually need to balance the books.

That's fair enough. Then they do have a history of governance and D7 was wrong again.
Power sharing is a much different beast as I'm sure your aware.

lol the Blueshirt fanboy is trying to lecture on budgets and spending!!!
The party that gave us National Childrens Hospital - set to be the most expensive hospital building in the world, and of the most expensive buildings in the world of any description, thanks to a FG managed €1.7 BILLION overspend. To put that in context - the Burj Khalifa (the tallest building in the world) total build cost was less than just the overspend on the Childrens Hospital. Tell me more about how good they are at budgeting again will you?!lol
