    It would be akin to me getting upset about 'Ourselves Alone' or 'A Future To Look Forward To' or 'Soldiers Of Destiny' etc.

    It's a slogan linked to violence in Ireland, the IRA and SF made it so and implied it would be by violent methods.

    "Ireland for the Irish" is another political slogan. "Keep America American" was another one. Trump's "America First" was first used by the KKK. Maybe you could comment on the usage of "Blood and Soil" as well. Or how about "Stop the Steal"?

    Lots of us get upset by the use of political slogans, it isn't funny. "Tiocfaidh ár Lá" (to use the correct spelling), or "Chucky" as it is commonly known, should be thrown in the same bin as those other outdated divisive political slogans.

    So you want people to change a slogan/stop using it because you misunderstand it? Good luck with that, as they say.

    I class the "Tiocfaidh ár Lá" gang along with the "Trycolor" gang.
    You hear them shout it, ask them what it means and blank face.

    I’m merely pointing out that it’s a lot more than a ‘political slogan’.

    Petty stuff to be honest.

    What people want from republicans is complete capitulation and an apology for existing.
    You are not going to get it.

    A conflict/war sadly happened here that had many players. SF played a part in the conflict/war and in reaching a settlement. They didn't surrender their political aims or aplogise for them. Why would they now?


    If you are offended, the Stephen Fry answer holdls true....'so what'?

    Nothing unacceptable with 'Tiocfaidh ár lá' - it's merely a statement of fact.

    Yeh? See I doubt you have ever done that.

    Totally irrelevant anyway. Sinn Fein support isn’t just militant republicans which is why most of these kind of threads are spurious nonsense. The Sinn Fein vote was 31.8% amongst 18-24 year olds, the highest percentage, in that group by far. It was 31.7% amongst 25-34 years olds, falling to 22% amongst 35-49 year olds, and 22.8% 55-65. All of these were the highest percentage but it was bunched with FF and FG at 21-22%.

    Amongst 65+ year olds the SF vote was only 12%.

    It’s a young persons party. They don’t care about what happened in 1972 in Belfast. If these trends continue they are on for an overall majority in a decade or so.

    Faster if ff-fgcontinue to not solve housing.

    FG needs to root out people like that as well.

    Another FGer aligning themselves with the thoughts of the DUP. 'Co-incidence' they keep saying.

    I'm sure Sarah would get a rousing round of applause at a DUP conference if she said that.

    Nothing. Can you read? What part of my sentiment that FG need to disassociate from that kind of rhetoric made you think that “I” was going to “do something” about it.
