Arlene's bigotry shines through

[tiempo]

It probably shows that she is just one of her ancestors kind - a planter who only loves power and not the land - once the power over the oppressed is gone whats the point of hanging around.

How anyone could hold on to leadership with how she performs is mind boggling.

Funny thing is her dad's a Kelly. Wonder how she reconciles that with her britishness.

Probably the same way Gerry reconciles his "Irishness" given his "Planter" ancestry.

Well then he's very much of the same ilk as the original Irish Republicans who were presbyterians. I'd imagine Adams would probably be more comfortable with that aspect of his identity than Foster would be with hers. Bring back Peter Robinson/Ian Paisley lol.

Yeah, old Gerry is well known for his high regard for Unionists.  I think is was "b**tards" that he referred to them as a year or two back.

He didn't refer to unionists as b******s. He referred to certain bigots within the dup as b******s. But the unionist newspapers ran a story about how sf were out to get all unionists and people like you have lapped it up without reading the actual full quote. Bear in mind this was a few days after the curry my yoghurt incident.

Tbf, the "b**tards" comment was  small beer compared to condoning the murder of people from the unionist community over 30 odd  years.

Raw is war.

... Arlene Foster, who appears to be one step away from sporting a union jack dress a la Geri Halliwell.

Now there's a picture you want to keep with you!

[Eamonnca1]

All this talk about the treatment of Protestants in a united Ireland. Someone once said to me "I can't wait till the day when I'm whipping the b******s in the fields." He was joking of course.

30 years is small beer lad, the British have raped Ireland and murdered Irish men women and children for sport for centuries. Far be it for anyone to partake in an equally* bloody response?

* actually small beer in comparison to atrocities carried out by the British in Ireland.

Michaelg is there no IFA board or some other middle of the road, anti-nationalist, pro-FookALL board for you to use?

I'll take your avoidance of the question as agreement that Gerry is a one-off, hero and legend of Irish Republicanism.

What's wrong with a bit of balance?  Or, do you just want to hear from people with identical points of view?

You want to see a divergence or view points?  Read the Paddy Jackson threads....we definitely don't all agree on this board!

So it's okay for people from the Nationalist community to oppose the  IRA's campaign but not someone from a unionist background?

Everyone's entitled to their opinion I would have thought, whats your point?

I for one welcome a unionist voice on this forum, if someone can take the time and effort to join in discussion and put forward their own view when clearly a minority voice that's surely a good thing. Things will only change through dialogue.

I agree. Too many of us are too comfortable in our echo chambers and hate to have our views challenged. I welcome it.

That being said, michaelg is a themuns, so is obviously wrong 😉🇮🇪

I would imagine that Protestants are apprehensive about an united ireland as they didn't do too well in the Republic post 1921.
