Sinn Fein? They have gone away, you know.

[HiMucker]

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.

Apparently him and Martina Anderson. Shes bringing the bin lids

Who? The Aontu crowd?

Lol, fastest growing party in Ireland ill have you know

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

Give us a few examples there of fluent speakers in SF- aim for 20, big party after all

Next level shit 

The burn at SF making further tangible progress for the rights of Irish speakers in Ireland

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

Oh go on then... Uppa Red Devils and errrm the Ra too n Celtic n Gerry n Bucky n fegs n flegs.

Pure scunnered you are

Nothing to do with people not choosing to be gay. The basis of your argument is that SF shouldn't be trying to legislate for the Irish language because you don't believe enough of them speak Irish. The argument of a simpleton which is absolutely no different to saying "Sinn Féin don't care about equal marriage! Sure can anyone even name 20 of them that are gay?"

You are so utterly blinded by bitterness that you don't see how ridiculous you come across.

The ONLY WAY AND I MEAN ONLY WAY to keep a language alive is by speaking it not pushing through pretty toothless laws that mean more to them in votes than anything else.

You're tired handing me my ass on a plate? That coming from the fella who is just one day has claimed:

- That last nights announcement of a language act came about not because SF threatened to not nominate a Deputy First Minister and then asked Westminster to legislate for it, but actually happened because "all the parties put pressure on for it".

- That only a party with a minimum of 20 Irish speakers should be allowed to campaign for language legislation.

Away and grow up.
