The wondrous adventures of Sinn Fein (part 3) Mod Notes and Threadbanned List in OP

That looks like a cut and paste job from some propaganda article or handout or email.

Some of the stuff on it is nonsense, and some of it - e.g. spending money on those sleeping rough to be sheltered - is a good thing. And the €13billion, by far the largest sum, given the Court's likely outcome, if we had spent it, as the opposition wanted, we would be rightly F*cked, trying to pay it back.

Lets see now

Sf answer to all that would be

1 Don't bother with that

2 Don't bother with that make it free forever

3 whaaa blame the last Government for that and sit on hands

4 Free make someone else pay for that

5 don't talk to us about that

6 Hide all that in the backroom

7 spend spend spend on nothing much at all

8 blame someone else for that

9 sit on fence then blame someone else for that

10 eeeemmmm what was that again!

11 Dont worry Gerry will find you!!!

12 Blame a patsy for that

13 see above

14 see above again

15 yet again see above

16 blame FG for that [and laugh and leer while you do that]

17 Keep quiet about what Sf lads do

18 appoint a prove to that

19 see above but call them something nice like a pillar of the community

20 hid all that in the small print

21 jobs for the boys in Belfast [don't mention field marshal what his name for the bandit county]

22 appoint Sf puppies to position in every place of use [note and make it forever]

23 what about thee ...

24 spend on someone from Belfast [or west cork for that matter]

25 Public relations exercise

26 blame blamer

27 compo for the support at grassroots

28 blame again someone in FF this time

29 waffle waffle and some distraction in the middle

30 Blame the US

31 Blame the UK

32 scrap everything [bring it back on the quiet but deny that till the death]

Ah, Brendan Ogle, a blast from the past. Whatever happened to him?

I am outraged that we don't currently have a system whereby the big swimming pool users don't pay more for their water than people like me who work hard at conserving it.

It'll be the approved WEF 'you'll own nothing and be happy' hence the support (insincere promises about REITs show they've a sense of humour) for FG-FF destroying small scale Irish landlords in favour of Brits (like the Duke of Westminster) and German insurers, plus an allegedly Irish one or two, who only want the high wage renter, destroying tourism via making self catering impossible, unlimited admission of asylum seekers and non EU migrants, rules for thee not for me, and so on. What I'm saving is that if a provisional SF govt happens (polls are not reliable, people should know), it will be a somewhat worse of what we have now. The IMF might be visiting again, but that's not outside the realms of possibility with the hapless current crew. God help us all, the pint of plain will be a tenner everywhere (and homebrew banned), but Ireland will survive.

It's not, and which part of it is nonsense, waiting with bated breath

I gave you two examples. If you have been working on that yourself, that has been a waste of your time.

You do know that water meters are actually an excellent tool of helping to identify and find leaks. They will also be invaluable when we start charging those who use far more water than they should millionaires with swimming pools.

Sinn Fein have constantly banged the drum about how the EU is making decisions that violate Irish Sovereignty yet have no problem taking the side of the EU when it comes to the Apple Tax thing.

(1) We are on the Sinn Fein thread, so if it isn't an extract from the Sinn Fein playbook, what is it doing on here?

(2) On the Apple money, what did you expect us to do with it, if not spend it? Or are you just complaining for the sake of complaining?

(3) So, instead of spending money on hotels to accommodate those sleeping rough, we should just have left them there? Again, as this is the SF thread, are you suggesting that SF want to leave those sleeping rough out in the cold?

If none of the above, what exactly are you trying to say on the SF thread?

OK, sorry, I didn't realise that you had set the rules on what could/could not be posted on a Sinn Fein thread, can you send me a list of your rules so I can fully comply in future. I presume that covers point 1, although I'll admit not fully understanding it.

Point 2, I expected that we would stay schtum, let Apple appeal if they wished, and take whatever was coming to us if/when the case resolved.

Point 3, Can you read back over what I posted and try to understand it

I don't set any rules, I am not a mod, I am not stopping you posting anything, I am just asking the relevance of what you posted to Sinn Fein. If it is an extract from the Sinn Fein playbook, that makes sense as to why it is posted here. If it is not part of the Sinn Fein playbook, I just want to understand why you have posted it here.

It wasn't an 'extract from the Sinn Fein playbook', whatever that is - so am I right in saying that only 'extracts from the Sinn Fein playbook' can be posted here. I posted it because I could see how worried and distressed you have become about the damage that Sinn Fein might do in their 6 months in government, I was wondering if it was stuff like this you were worried about. If it isn't great. So what exactly has you so worried and distressed, specific examples and their likely impact, rather than pretty little Mount St cliches, feel free to extract from the Sinn Fein playbook

But what exactly has you so worried and distressed, specific examples and their likely impact, rather than pretty little Mount St cliches

'What worries me is that they have signficantly underestimated that damage that even six months of SF government could do.'

What specific tax proposals are aimed at taxing big business, and what would be their specific impact.

Why would the multinationals leave, why didn't they leave when taxes were much higher here, higher than what SF are proposing as I understand it.

Specifics, rather than cliches and bluster
