    Oh my GOD!



    I mean, you can't be that obtuse AND ignorant?



    Yes, that's what happened. :rolleyes: Little victories Rob.

    Now that you've gotten the deflection out of the way... we'll try again.

    ---

    Statement of Fact: RobMc59 does not agree with James McClean's stance regarding the poppy.

    Question from BonnieSituation: Why?

    James McLean is simply a very nasty piece of work, best given a very wide birth.

    Am I correct that every single club he has been to so far has banned him from twitter because of his sectarianism


  • Registered Users Posts: 985 ✭✭✭Fred Cryton


    Yes. That is exactly what will happen.

    You're not suggesting that the votes of one citizen are worth less or more than another are you?


    You want the government to give you free stuff. Let's not pretend you and your ilk are some upstanding citizens. 80% of Darndale voted SF...that place where they burn cars for the giggles

    McClean was sending up the sectarian idiots that torment him.

    Not a good idea but still funny and bang on.

    So tell me more. If there was no prior knowledge of the attack then how could there possibly have been collusion? Its a serious question, if you can help me understand the contradiction in that statement?

    Francie - just a wee tiny bit. In fairness to Bonnie, she is trying and may crack it in her next post

    Oh lord

    I said I don't agree with his stance regarding the poppy but respect his right to choose.Beyond that its not worth discussing it with you as you and I obviously don't see eye to eye about certain matters and probably never will.

    A United Ireland would only empower SF and make them the largest party on the island. 80% of voters in Darndale voted for SF. So if you want the entire country to look like Darndale (or the alternative future from Back to the Future 2), then by all means vote for a United Ireland .

    You’ve clearly never been to Northern Ireland.
    Darndale is palatial by comparison to most of it.
    It’s an utter sh!thole for the most part.

    It’s infested Sectarian ****ehawks on both sides Like yourself and I dunno if you’ve ever been to Belfast. Best thing for it would to be level it and start over. It’s an utter kip with not one redeeming feature I can think of other than the road out if it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,626 ✭✭✭✭downcow


    So to sum up the last few days.

    A declaration that 8 of the Protestant shops bombed in castlewellan were owned by udr members.
    Zero evidence produced and won’t tell us why he thinks that.

    Allegations of collusion in loughinisland massacre.
    Zero evidence produced and tells us to watch a movie

    Claim that if deaths caused by Brit security forces were replicated across the USA they would amount to 1 million.
    Zero evidence produced and refuses to post his calculations.

    Claim that ira were non-sectarian and focused on military targets.
    No explanation why such a high percentage of all those they killed were Protestant, why almost all bombing targets were Protestant, and why their percentage of ‘the other religion’ killed was far greater than most paramilitary groupS including the notoriously sectarian UDA

    Unfortunately many of the preposterous claims on here, without evidence, makes the Beano more reliable reading.

    If I was you then I would be a strong supporter of partition. Lol.
    No logic to wanting to unite with those northern ****wits

    Wow...just wow.

    Yet another 'feeling sorry for himself' post with NO EVIDENCE of the words Unionist and Loyalist.

    Case rested.

    Unless I am mistaken i don’t think I used the words Republican or Nationalist either. So I’m not sure what your point is.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,260 ✭✭✭Hamsterchops


    Just wondering; Some high ranking health professional was on the RTE news last week being pressed on an 'all island' approach to the Covid crisis, and there was much talk about this as if it was imminent, "oh yes we'll make sure the North is in line with our response"....
    but nothing happened :cool:

    How come NI is still within the UK/NHS system, when so much has been promised to bring their response to Covid into line withe the Republic?

    Because your goal is as transparent as glass.

    You want to be able to play the victim. And take zero responsibility for what happened.

    No other excuse required here but 'belligerent Unionism'.

    Never Never Never first and then 'okay, do it anyhow'.

    Same pattern over and over and over again.

    No need for that language now dc. I for one support the unification of this island and it’s people.itll be a massive badly badly needed benefit to the school and education system up there that much is clear.

    Ah ha, so with unite with them (unlikely) or outbreed them in NI.

    Then, and only then would we make the North look operate, and think like ourselves!

    I saw this play on stage in Dublin. It is a joint production between the ABBEY and The Royal Court Theatre in England.

    What is remarkable about it is that some of the things the lead says have been said on here. It is online and free to watch because of the crisis. Enjoy.

    Be warned...the second act is not for the squeamish.

    Your question is strange Why would you not ask for the two countries to come into line with each other as opposed to ni coming into line with ROI?

    Tim Henman. More old waffle instead of providing any substance to back up you ludicrous claims.

    Why would we line up with a country that immediately thought it knew best and rejected advice from the WHO?

    Will you have a titter of wit. Nobody will be 'aligning' with the UK in arrogant Brexit mode.

    Proof of the pudding is that they realised the error and are playing catch up. Tragically for some

    Will someone please tell these geniuses that this virus doesn’t see green or orange?

    I’d say leave them to it but as the piece under says, they’re putting others lives at risk

    It wasn't my claim. CAIN provided the data to show that the british side killed over 1,000 innocents. Do you want to have an attempt at discrediting CAIN again? :D

    You mean to align the UK with the ROI, both islands in harmony working together to fight this virus...well that would be utopia, and I have suggested as much in a previous post, but it got zero traction.

    UK should have aligned with us instead of now playing catch-up.
