IRA on the run bump!
bump!
Thanks...good to see you are well.
It was classic seeing McGinness being asked did he know the shinner arrested for the heist, and then to be shown video of him talking candidly to the thug. It won't affect their vore much though - there are plenty of thick scumbags out there voting for them
Your welcome!
I believe it is time for us to stop indulging in this nonsense of recognizing the 'political arm' of violent terrorist groups. There is no civilized separation and we are fools to believe so.
I have said it before the GFA is immoral, but it is also fatally flawed - a settlement in the North should instead be based on the Anglo-Irish Agreement of 1985 - the Unionists would make it work this time around.
Indeed, Sinn Fein is a front for the IRA, the same way some waste disposal companys and Italian restuarants are fronts for the Mafia.
Sinn Fein lie out of both sides of their mouth.
Bump!
And their treacherous arses!
bump
bump!
The GFA is the best deal they are going to get. They have been given a really good chance but seem to be throwing it away.
Busted? Ted Kennedy is deeply saddened.
And it's all Bush's fault!
Brownie gave an interview to a Spanish radio station during which he backed off his denials and said that the 'Ra might have done it. Perhaps he thought that since he said it on Spanish radio the news wouldn't find its way back to Ireland. Ever since he has been backtracking, with real gems such as: "It is not the time for making knee-jerk judgments, or trying to beat up on Sinn Fein." And he's still planning on attending an IRA memorial service in Strabane tomorrow! Note to Gerry: this might not be the best time to be seen in public eulogising terrorists that you claim not to be associated with!
And wee Martin has been caught in a real whopper, stating that he didn't know a Sinn Fein councillor who was questioned by gardai only to have RTE broadcast photos of him campaigning with the man in 2002. They don't seem to realise that the game has changed.

Another GUBU, and this one's a beaut
Back at the beginning of December last year, in a posting called "Yamani or ya life! The UNSCAM GUBU", we took the time to explain the peculiarly Irish acronym, GUBU. It comes, we said, from the days of Charles J. Haughey, an Irish prime minister who put the "Mac" into Machiavellian and who called the discovery of a serial killer hiding in the flat of his attorney general "grotesque, unbelievable, bizarre and unprecedented". Conor Cruise O'Brien, the PM's nemesis, pounced on this Grand Guignol scandal and coined "GUBU", which came to sum up Haughey's putrescent reign.
And now Ireland is enveloped in another GUBU, and a vast one, involving the largest bank heist in the history of the British Isles, and it looks as if the laundering of the loot goes all the way to the top. Well, to the top of Sinn Fein/IRA, but that's only the beginning. Gavin Sheridan has been blogging the story in detail and Slugger O'Toole is on the job as well. Gavin crossed a threshold by being the first to name the suspects, breaking what Richard Delevan calls "a legal/media consensus about how such cases should be dealt with in the Republic of Ireland among its stakeholder media, politicians and police." So, along with rocking the country to its foundations, this could be the story that makes blogging a force to be reckoned with in Ireland.
Just in: a priceless statement from the boss of Sinn Fein/IRA, Gerry Adams,: "I would urge people to be very measured," he said, adding that it was not the time "for making knee jerk judgements or trying to beat up on Sinn Fein".
Get that? "Beat up on Sinn Fein"! For sheer shamelessness and unintended humour, this comes close to Haughey's GUBU declaration. Beat up on Sinn Fein! Tell that to the widows and orphans of the IRA and a hobbling generation of kneecapped unfortunates who happened to incur the wrath of Gerry's thuggish pals. Ladies and gentleman, we have another GUBU on our hands.
