Is it just me or have SF vanished?

They wouldn’t lie to us. Surely.

They (Mary Lou and Pease) were on news after the election talking about the letters they sent, so letters as far as I am aware. Unless Mary Lou sent a follow up text.

Do I see FF or FG in the press daily about forming the government or blocking SF?

Did you miss the news reports about SF and others meeting, daily, in the press when they were happening?
You know, when FG were huffing about going into opposition and FF were furiously trying to wipe the memory of Michael lying to the public about his intentions i.e. not going into government with FG?

Do you know what Shefwewd? That sounds VERY MUCH like a lie to me.

I asked before, I will ask again, if all these meetings have happened then where is the coalition? who have SF got with them?


For all of Mary Lou shouting, she has nothing.....not much of a negotiator is she?

Did you know there’s a leaders meeting weekly now? Leo briefs Michael and Mary Lou and the rest.

I didn’t know that

Lads can you make a post or ask a question without insulting people? Seems to be a thing with yis. No need for it and really undoes your point and lowers the tone overall.
Don’t understand the need for it.

A few posts ago you were making out that Mary Lou was a transsexual or transvestite? Are you exempt from the no insults?

Sinn Fein claim 4.5 mil in expenses from Westminster even though they absent themselves https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/politics/sinn-fein-has-no-business-in-westminster-but-collects-45m-37731363.html

Also Sinn Fein say that they all TDS only take the industrial wage and make a big deal of proclaiming they send back pay increase but are silent on all secret pay deals. https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/politics/sinn-fein-pay-scandal-spoils-new-leaders-big-day-36512228.html

Martin ferris has a medical card but earns over 100k. Charged a 35euro fly jab to public.

Who can forget Aongus O Snodaigh charging 20k of printing to the public.

Don’t put forward invalid expenses if you are not going to put the full picture across.

The industrial wage claim has long been debunked.

Not really. Not a good idea to bring female politicians appearance into the discussion, bro.

They’re elected officials in Northern Ireland and are entitled to claim expenses. Northern Ireland being a dominion of the United Kingdom.



As for the rest lol. They’re all at it im under no illusions about that. Why they get expenses at all will never cease to confound me.

All she ever said was that she would 'try' to form a government of the left.

p.s. and she didn't lie through her teeth to the electorate about who she would go into or not go into government with.

Pearse is the Father Alton Crosby of the SF operation.....he sends a good letter..... the outrage, the indignation, the petulance - it's world class ����

Out of interest how are SF being denied power? Have they been denied a vote on the office of Taoiseach or are they just resentful that none of the other kids want to play with the bully, with armed gang? (EDIT: That's a general question to the SF'ers, not particularly for you @Rodders)

Considering SF have allegedly vanished, there's plenty on here getting a fair run from their demise.

I may be wrong and am open to correction but Westminster expenses (including travel) are separate to Stormont expenses. Even though Stormont hasn’t sat since January 2017 it is strange that they would claim expenses for that even though they give out about TDS claiming expenses when they don’t attend Dáil Éireann, but to claim Westminster expenses when they absent themselves is more questionable.

We are both in agreement that invalid expenses are widespread among TDS but you did post a tweet only mentioning non SF TDS claiming them. Why do that if you admit that SF are equally guilty?

You seem possessed of a remarkable sensitivity to people 'shouting' even when you could have no idea that they are.

Tell us, how the hell do you 'shout in the press'?

Tbh I’d say they probably don’t. I dunno. That’s just a free for all buffet for all involved. Fg have a unique brand of arrogance and them going over more than any other party speaks to that and makes sense.

Times reporting that Mary Lou saying that SF were right all along given what the government are putting in place right now such as using private hospitals for a single tier health approach.

It just shows how financially illiterate that SF economics are. The billions being spent by the government aren't sustainable and we still don't know how bad the implications will be.

Short term is just bearable but there's no way it can realistically continue

How would a single tier healthcare system save the billions required right now given that the vast majority is going towards social welfare supports to keep our workers solvent. There will eventually be a debt wtite down at EU level but if SF had their way we wouldn't even be in the EU. Then we'd be rightly fcuked
