I'd like to think that the continuity, reals etc are not involved in drugs - but have been hearing otherwise.
Do you believe that they are innocent of this Tug?
IMO chiefly because of this they are as bad and the unionist/loyalist gangs who have been openly dealing for decades.
Also the continuity/reals by dealing drugs are associating with these opposition murder gangs.
How can that be in the interests of republicanism?

The Republican Prisoners' Action Group condemns the news that several Republican POWs in Maghaberry Gaol have been charged under prison rules for the wearing of the Easter Lily. Archbishop Seán Brady visited the gaol and assured the prisoners that he would do whatever he could to secure a resolution to the ongoing protest in Maghaberry. Clearly he has not been effective in this regard.

The Republican POWs have refused to eat food in their cells, which contain a toilet, on hygience grounds since the commencement of their protest on June 19th of last year. If the POWs are sent to the boards as punishment then they will be without any food for the duration of this punishment.

It must also be stated that the screws are free to wear poppies on segregated Republican landings. This contradiction must be resolved, and the Republican POWs who have suffered the loss of their liberty owing to their principled opposition to English rule in Ireland must be allowed to honour Ireland's patriot dead. We would also ask the Provos – who have been very vocal in calling for people to wear the Easter Lily, despite their policy U-turns – to publicly support the Prisoners of War in Maghaberry to this end.

The real reason they are not allowed to wear lillies is because of the problem caused by the spores in them - they are dreadfully bad for the sufferers of hay-fever, especially in the early prolonged dry and sunny weather we've been having; the ban did not apply to synthetic lillies.

Here's the text of the statement:

The Armagh Brigade of the Irish Republican Armagh sends Revolutionary and Seasonal greetings to its Comrades and supporters in Armagh, Ireland the U.S and Europe. This year the Armagh Brigade has upped the ante in its War on the British Forces of occupation, we have sought at every turn to bring the fight to the Crown Forces. Our Volunteers have engaged the enemy on numerous occasions, in Armagh City, Keady and Lurgan areas, we salute the brave Active Services Units who risk their lives and freedom to continue the cause of Irish Freedom. We condemn those in the media who have tired to hide and deny these attacks took place, these people are on the payroll of the British and their actions are designed to enhance the image of British rule in Ireland. To the world we tell the British Army and its local milita the R.U.C/ P.S.N.I that we will continue to engage them on our terms. In the past they have been lucky but we only need to be lucky once once they need to be lucky all the time !.

We send solidarity greetings to our Comrades in Portloise Jail and to the Republican prisoners on protest in Maghaberry P.O.W camp, we commend them for their principled stance and condem our former comrades in the Provisional Movement who sold political status away when they signed the Stormont agreement. A status won in blood by Bobby Sands and his Comrades in 1981. We also commend and thank the Republican Prisoners Action Group for its workthis year in supporting and hightlighting the prison protest, there white line protest have brought the prison protert out of the media black out and onto the national stage, they are are the voice of our protesting prisoners !.

This year has seen not only the return of British rule through Storment, by the Provo acceptance of the R.U.C/P.S.N.I British milita as a acceptable Police force. This forces aim is to enforce British rule in Ireland and we call on all Irish men and women to refuse to accept it as anything less than the enemy and warn all prospective recruits that they will be seen as legitimate targets and will be delt with as such !.

We commend and praise the men and women of Republican Sinn Fein who on short notice stood up to the Provo/ British machine and held throught to the Republican Principles when they stood against them in the March elections. Despite a complete media black out on R.S.F , those candidates and their has shown has shown us there is a small nucleus in the Republican heartlandson which to build. We call on all those disgruntled Republicans to return to the fold and help us rebuild and strengthen the Republican movement, it is throught unity that we will gain continuity.

The Armagh Brigade Óglaigh na hÉireann, Irish Republican Army pledges its allegiance to the Continuity Army Council and the 2nd all Ireland Dail whose powers it protects, we swear to uphold the Republic by Continuing the war against its enemies. We call on the youth of Armagh to join us and help us continue the fight for Irish Freeom, may our guns never be silent while the Brits occupy our land.!!

Beir Bua

Forward To Freedom !

Officer Commanding Armagh Brigade

well, the spelling is a bit better,

help us continue the fight for Irish Freeom

with some exceptions...

Now we'll start with grammar and punctuation lesson 1:

In the past they have been lucky but we only need to be lucky once once they need to be lucky all the time !.

Oh yeah, did I mention you're an idiot?

real republicans dont do drugs

But do they do "Ulster fry burgers". Once had this from a place in Lurgan, now that's what's needed after a few pints

[ziggysego]

TUG must be in bed now. God love the poor wee critter, he has a tiring day at big school.

[stew]

If anyone thinks that some of these so called republicians that are out there now are not selling drugs they are deluding themselves, these deathmongers are not republicians they are hoods and gangsters and are no better than their loyalist counterparts.

Any republicians I know are disgusted by the antics of these drug dealers and they have nothing in common with each other at all at all.

In the Belfast News Letter of Saturday, 21st April, the Provos commented that "the vast, vast majority of Republicans (sic) attended legally arranged [Provo] parades over Easter." Clearly the "laws" the Provos are referring to are the diktats of the English government.

Republican Sinn Féin rejects the Provo description of Republican Commemorations as criminal acts. Furthermore, the actions of those who not only applied to the British Crown Forces for permission to march, but also used these platforms to pressurise Nationalists into embracing their total collaboration with English rule in Ireland, amounts to nothing less than the desecration of the graves of Ireland's Patriot Dead.

Do the Provos agree with Fermanagh DUP councillor Bert Johnston that those involved in Republican parades such as that in Roslea should feel the full rigour of alien laws? And where does Michelle Gildernew – who was so vociferous on Radio Ulster's Talk Back programme during the election campaign – stand on this issue and the arrests and charging of three people accused of Republican activity in Lurgan last week?

True Republicans will never apply to enemy forces for the right to honour our Patriot Dead, and will continue to commemorate all those who gave their lives in the Cause of Irish Freedom with dignity and respect. The Provos, on the other hand, should have the honesty and decency to stay away from the graves of those who died serving the All-Ireland Republic and fighting British Occupation.

It is appropriate that the Provos have today nominated their "Director of Unionist Engagement", Martina Anderson, to take a seat on the RUC Policing Board alongside Alex Maskey and Dáithí McKay. This latest announcement demonstrates the depths they are prepared to engage with Unionism – to the point of mimicking their political position. The proposed Provo Ard-Chomhairle meeting on May 12th is certainly viewed merely as a rubber-stamp.

The claim by Ms. Anderson that she is "going in there [to the Policing Board] to hold them [the RUC] to account" is an insult to the intelligence of the general public, and in particular the Nationalist community who have suffered so much at the hands of the British Colonial Police. The role of Ms. Anderson and her colleagues will simply be to strengthen English rule in Ireland, acting in full and open collaboration with the British Crown Forces.

Rank and file Provisionals must now reject the boundless arrogance of their leaders and seek a return to their former allegiance. They should also be under no illusion that collaborating with the British forces of Occupation can in any way be considered a Revolutionary act.

Anyway, whatever happened 'banjo's' they were the best ever closely followed by wagon wheels and breakaways.

As for white mice they were ok but not great.

[ziggysego]

You can't beat a packet of Rollos stew. Though Cadbury's Creame Eggs are a tasty treat at Easter.
