Sinn Fein? They have gone away, you know.

[sid waddell]

Sinn Fein will get shafted by the Tories on this ...can't believe they are going to trust them on it and nominate a DFM

Will they? I'd say it'll be similar to the abortion and gay marriage issue in that the Brits stepping in allows both sides to save face.

Do you trust the Tories to keep their word?

SF looking to the UK parliament, a parliament that they don't take their seats in and that they don't recognise its authority to pass Irish Language act is next level hypocrisy.

Anyway I am glad that Stormont hasn't fallen and everyone can get on with the important work of governing this place.

It might be Ironic but I dont see how it is hypocrisy unless you think the idea of them even being in stormont is hypocrisy.

SF constantly tell us that WM doesn't matter. It's irrelevant. That other Nationalists are seeming less Irish for taking their seats. And now all of a sudden they are happy for a Parliament that they don't recognise or take their seats in to make laws for the North. That is pure hypocrisy.

The SDLP are constantly telling us that you need to take your seats in Westminster to have any influence. Yet SF have done "from the sidelines" what the SDLP have not been able to do form the green benches.

So:
Language Act deal achieved
DUP weakened
Abstentionist policy vindicated (again)
SDLP widely exposed as cynical opportunists

Not a bad few days work from those big bad shinners.

Apart from attempting to facilitate DUP intransigence on the Irish language, what else have the SDLP been doing these last few days?

Colm's still working on stopping Brexit, I think.

SF were delighted with Brexit

That's because they don't actually give a shit about the real lives of people in NI, including their own supporters

OK Tory Boy

You accused me of being "into dead children" and made a false allegation that another poster accused you of child rape. Stop trying to engage with me, you lowlife.

Or another way of looking at it is that SF got the British government to do what the stoops, who don't abstain, could not.

Has to be said, the SDLP really did make an utter mess of it the past few weeks. Out-maneuvered by SF and shown up to have attempted to facilitate then exploit the DUP's bad faith in order to attack the shinners. They deserve the heavy criticism they are now getting. Even this morning on GMU, when most people can see this has been a SF success, Nicola Mallon could barely bring herself to attacking the DUP position through it all. It was just a litany of anti-SF verbals. Do the SDLP stand for anything at all beyond attacking SF?

This makes no sense at all. Surely every party pressurised the Tories on it bar the DUP? Thats my reading of it

lol What? Nothing to do with SF threatening to not nominate a Deputy First Minister? Nothing to do with SF's approach to the British Government? Are you anywhere even close to wise?

[Itchy]

Don't see the big deal with the Brits stepping in. It highlights further proof if needed how unworkable Stormont is. Ghandi could be in government with the DUP and it would be no different. The reality is, a party of reactionary fanatics are incapable of governing this dysfunctional little entity. Who'd have thunk it. Hilarious the obsessed stoops on here are raging. ILA is and always was an afterthought for your party - something you were more than willing to compromise on.

Im no stoop anyhow but I can tell you this as someone who has immersed himself in the language that SF have no interest in the language except as a means to whip others politically, and for your knowledge SDLP have always been broadly on the same line as SF on te language-they have better speakers of it anyhow lol

So all the Sinn Fein people I see on TV who have learned Irish (and all the hours that went with it) just did it for a bit of spite? Jaysus thats great to know, I better go and vote for some backward right wing anti abortion religious fundamentalist gobshite instead

Last time i checked the act had nothing to do with your right to learn the language, we all have free access to that and have had since the 1950s. "oh i wish i could have learnt the language"

Bullshit you were too busy watching Man Utd
