Adams challenges party leaders to debate on Past

That's exactly what it is!

I have seen over the numerous years the change that SF have made, and as once a follower of SF and a youth member, saw what it was going to become and did not associate myself with them. The very fact that they used to have campaigns on political policing yet be all hush hush about the victims of political policing who are in opposition to their stance on the GFA is disgusting. Prominent members of political organisations harassed and arrested for absolutely nothing, one that is now facing jail due to posting a picture of cops on Facebook, without their faces blurred! The fact that they are now branding these people traitors of Ireland something that the free-staters would have branded the PIRA and SF, is nothing short of hypocrisy and sheer lunacy. The list could go on for lines upon lines as to their hypocritical ways of going on and the way they have forgotten and left behind the political roots of the party and the people that were with them, when it was not acceptable to be so and faced harassment, being called a murderer or even being told your family is nothing but murderers. Those in SF have a very very * short memory to forget the way it used to be for them.

 

dont talk pish. If the PIRA wanted to kill as many people as possible, why did they always phone in warnings of their bombs to prevent civilian casualties? Their aim was to cause political and economic pressure on the british government so that they had no choice but to give in or at least neogotiate, and it very nearly worked. Harold Wilson drew up plans his Doomsday plans to cut all constitutional ties with Northern Ireland, allowing it to become an independent state, with the end goal being reunification with the Republic. These plans were only dropped after the strategic brainfart that were the Guildford bombings.

 

I had supplied figures before on the amount of civilian mortalities as a percentage of each section of the troubles. The Republicans had a majorly less amount of civilian killings per killing than both the Brits and Loyalists. So for some people that all they tried to do was kill civilians were going about it the wrong way! :smiley-laughing002:

 

I tell you one thing, the whole country would be far better off if Sinn Fein * out of politics all together.

 

Wrong - Britain was willing to comprise in WW2 prior to the PIRA.

Perhas harsh when I say 'kill' - threaten to kill is more accurate.

 

I think you have misread the original post. He wasn't saying Britain would never compromise just that in his opinion they came very close to compromising with the PIRA in the 1970's over the six counties.

 

In what way would it be better off,

 

There would be no tribal politics nonsense, that makes DUP and SF basically unaccountable to the voters. The whole siege mentality about if you don't vote SF someone from a unionist party will get the seat. Therefore it's near like people feel they need to vote for them.

 

They do nothing but pick up cheques, the grass roots of the party has and is being completely overlooked by the people at the top.
They do nothing whatsoever for the communities they are suppose to represent.

They are an embarrassment to the country and republicans in particular.

You also have the * at the top that claims he was never in the IRA, its going on that long its not even a running joke anymore.

 

Are comparing them to the one direction fans and Gabriel Agbonlahor?

 

Yes, I was specifically referring to what became the Official IRA,

 

What do the OIRA have to do with anything?

 

Obvious troll is obvious.
