Irish mercenaries, unionist coat trailers and the Bard of Dunclug

[5iveTimes]

The British Army werent marching in Dundalk today, they were marching in Belfast. The last time I checked Belfast was still part of the UK. A dose of realism would do you fantasists in Sinn Fein no harm at all. Still it will be great when you get your salary from the British Exchequer, Sterling is on the up at the minute. Meanwhile here in Ireland we`ll just keep plodding away with the Euro.  
Donagh can we not agree that if Sinn Fein had ignored this silly parade it would have had a much smaller attendance and been given much less publicity.

What or who is Eirigi?

From Eirigi:
"There is not an activist in Belfast city who will not be in attendance at one of the many republican and socialist demonstrations now taking place"

Was this them?

Probably, but unfortunately those on the receiving end of their overseas exploits don't have the luxury of being able to ignore them when they drop another bomb on a wedding. Not in my name do these toe-rag mercenaries murder and pilage their way around the world.

I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this before but here we go anyway.
When the 'Minister for Sport' for the North of Ireland was asked if he would be attending the All-Ireland football final back in September, he said that he wouldn't be attending with one of his reasons being that it was on a Sunday, how funny it is then that when the MOD organise a military show of strength on a Sunday that the bould Gregory is one of the first hoors out cheering them on

I'm sure his answer would be that if he was in Croke Park on a Sunday it would have been in his capacity as (then) Minister for Culture Arts and Leisure and he would therefore be 'working' on a Sunday, whereas he wasn't on the streets today to work.

On his logic, that works.

Who, éirígí? No, it's not.

So this Sinn Fein protest was really about the illegal war in Iraq/Afghanistan? Or was it because themmuns were marching in Belfast?
I couldnt give two flying f**ks who marches were, as long as it doesnt effect me. It seems that some people have to travel a long way to be offended. What really bugs me is that the protestors pick up their salaries from the British Government, that same Government who pay those soldiers who are marching through Belfast today. Is there really much of a difference between both sides of todays argument? They are in the pay of the same people after all.

Couldn't tell you. I wasn't at  the SF protest.

Clearly from the banners and placards it was about British Army activity in NI.

5ivetimes your anti Sinn Fein stance to the point of becoming pro British really is hilarious. 

[Evil Genius]

I was very impressed with the éirígí protest.

Ahhh, I'm pleased for you. Does it make up for not being allowed to join the Big Boys in the SF protest?

There is nothing pro-British about me. Unlike your good self, I pay my taxes to the Irish Government, my VAT bill comes from them, my car has an Irish registration, in fact I couldnt really be any more Irish, though I would prefer to pay a bit less tax, but still my 40% goes to running this little country, yours and Donaghs goes to the British Exchequer.
What I find hilarious is the about turn that Sinn Fein have managed to pull off, with the support of their electorate. Not only have Gerry and Martin overseen the surrender and disarming of the IRA, but they are now being paid to run Northern Ireland from a nice comfy office in Stormont. You really couldn`t make this shit up. Still, its you and your ilk who voted them in and its your taxes that pay their wages.

We can't all run away move to the south    You criticise Sinn Fein and the IRA yet what would be your alternative?  More war? With you tucked up in your bed across the border?

I didn't vote for them.

Maybe we should all run to England and work for Tesco
