Gerry Adams Late Late Show 'ambush'

[Myles Na G.]

Gaybo was always more anglo in his outlook.
He was in his element in the bad days of the 80s.
His shows spent a lot of time lamenting the state of the country, implying that Irish people were unfit for self rule and that we'd be better off being run by the Brits.

That said, back in the 80s and early 90s, Sinn Fein and the IRA weren't exactly winning over hearts and minds down South with their carry on.

Not doing much better now without their carry on.

20 years ago Sinn Fein got 1.2% of the total vote in a general election. Their current showings of about 6-7% are a fairly big increase.

Fair enough, but they were going to do great things at the last election down south and they bombed ( ). When times get tight, people vote for people they trust to run the economy. Those with nothing to offer but a whiff of cordite and a few half baked policies on the 'national question' get pushed to one side fairly quickly.

[red hander]

Aye, that crowd in the Dail have done a GREAT job running the country, totally trustworthy ... Christ, you post some shite

I think you put that laughing smiley in the wrong place...

[Myles Na G.]

Aye, that crowd in the Dail have done a GREAT job running the country, totally trustworthy ... Christ, you post some shite

But still more trustworthy than Gerry's crowd, obviously. What does that tell you about the Shinners' credibility down south?

[Main Street]

Myles na Gobsh,  no better man to be spouting about credibility.

[Rav67]

That was a hell of a display by Adams.  In a cauldron of emotion to keep so calm and get his message across in what was essentially a 5 v 1 debate... even his most ardent critic would admire that performance for intelligence and eloquence.

[020304 Tir Eoghain]

Never liked gaybo....should have run the f**er over when i had the chance in tralee all those years ago.....never forgive myself, but there were worse including
Eoghan Harris and Ruth Dudley Edwards  

Bonus territory getting the three of them at once

[Capt Pat]

Unreal stuff having someone like Hugh Leonard on making out like he was going to burst out crying while describing little girls in wheel chairs etc. "theatrical" as Gerry described it.

Nothing at all.

Would this explain why a fair few Huns voted for Jim Allister, Traditional Unionist Voice instead of the DUP in the last European election?

[Main Street]

Sinn Fein 6 V Rest of Ireland 0
Gay's horse was shot before he could work up a gallop.
Weak link, Austin Currie, the sole moderate mouthpiece of the 6 county supremacists got nutmegged time and time again.
Had to be pitied though, when he went on about the RUC should be let do their job.
What planet did he live on?

Does it then follow that the voters across the water place their trust in the BNP to run the british economy?  Yet again more shite from Miley.
