Sinn Fein/IRA

[Artist]

At long last the clouds have cleared and the politicians North and South of the border have sussed out that the Sinn Fein and the IRA are one and the same!

Any Bloke who served in NI from the late 60's to the present time could have told them that! The sight of Jerry Adams and his despicable sh*tty Oppo McGuiness stood outside number 10 pontificating about the "PEACE PROCESS"......................................UNREAL!

The next thing they want to do is Outlaw Sinn Fein as a terrorist organisation. That'll bugger up the "Nice Little Earners" that these gutless pair of gits and their cohorts collect for being members of both Parliaments. Brit and Irish.

Well said that man.

As with everything the Irish government are only taking their present stance however as it suits their own agenda. The propaganda to present Sinn Fein as "democratic" politicians, vital to "peace" and separate from PIRA has been so successful, and allowed them such massive positive publicity over recent years that they are now poised to become a major political force in ROI, and as such the establishment there, that has done so much to legitimise them is now scared of the monster they have created.

It is a shame they do not seem to mind so much that we have had to put up with them for so long.

However I will not complain too much, as I am loving this current spotlight on them showing these scum for what they are.

I was wondering when this would come up!

scared of the monster they have created

So true Del

Before 9/11, in the US especially in the 1990's there was a strong national sympathy for the Irish, look at the movies from 1988 on to about 1998 in the US and the Irish pop culture from bars to music that sprang up.
Funny how it has all changed now.

As Stix said, a very good point. I keep forgetting that politicains are a bunch of opportunists. I reckon they should all have lie detector tests before coming into power but that another matter altogether.

As to Whiteys point ref the post 9/11 situation, bang on. Hench the £26 pound bank raid. Noraid is virtually defunct as far as I can glean from the American media on the internet.

Now that the "Rosetinted" Specs have been removed let us hope that from now on the Scum don't get the tea and sympathy they used to enjoy from both the South and the USA. And, even worse, from this Labour Government!

Couldn't agree more with the previous posts.

I always thought that 9/11 changed people's opinion on the other side of the pond.

[DelD]

I think the FARC episode put SinnFein/IRA into a different light as far as the US government went.

These scum have been so appeased and mollycoddled that they wander round acting with total impunity as they commit murder after murder, robbery after robbery and are protected by various governments as if they were some sort of endangered species.

And people sometimes wonder why I voted against the "Good Friday" agreement?

Just to get this straight,
Support for the IRA was limited to a couple of north eastern states.
Notably Mass.and NY.Boston and NYC were hotbeds of PIRA supporters.
I was once approached by a git wearing a black beret and sunglasses in a bar in Boston who asked me for a donation.He then listened very closely to my accent while I whispered in his shell like and decided to bug out while his head was still in the right place.
I still can't believe that the terrorist Adams is now an MP.
He was at one time refused a visa to enter the US.Then along came Clinton and with Irish eye's a'smiling Adams spent two weeks blatantly fund raising in Boston and NYC

[Whitey]

Yeah, true Wholley the money, guns ect... seemed to be a North East thing, but alot of American's were brainwashed with the movies like Clear and Present Danger, to Devils Own ect.. in the 90's with alot of the Bobby Sands crap like "In the Name of the Father." being reran and yeah all started heavy under Clinton, never saw Celtic, Irish or much of that kind of folk music in the stores before 90's then all off a sudden it showed up and every American was trying to be or tie themselves into Irish ancestory. I remember even balck guys getting the Irish flag tattoo on their arms. St. Patrick's day was no big deal other than wearing some green if you felt like it until around 92 outside the NE and Chicago. Now every city celebrates the day in some fashion. They got a parade here and the dumbasses in Colorado are a bunch of Swedes mostly.
When I was a kid I was raised to hate alot of different cultures, Irish was about 2nd on the list, well maybe 3rd, Italians were 2nd actually.
My dad sure didn't like much that wasn't Southern, American, English or French. Oldman liked the French pretty good other than their inability to wage a proper war.
Hey Artist, my great gramps x2 buried over 500 Irish imigrant soldiers down around De Ridder in 1865. Maybe that is why we were raised to hate them?
Wanna see some good battles involving southern steel and Irish yankee merc's look at our civil war. We crucified them on many occasions, particularly the Wheat Field, a whole brigade.
Now just imagine how you'd be had you been allowed to take out a brigade of IRA
I fell for you though, as a kid I'd see on the news in the 70's and 80's the IRA bombing random civilian targets, always hoped these guys would be rounded up. Now they are a political party? Unreal.
That would be like us putting OBL in a senate seat
Couldn't your SAS have just bagged this Adams guy?

Some places in the UK used to support the IRA.

Once in Birmingham during the firemans strike me and this bloke found ourselves in this pub where every bit of wall was adorned with the Tricolour!

We legged it when our Haircuts were noticed and we declined the offer of putting money into the tin shoved under out noses.

As to Adams and his sh*tty chum McGuniess..............40 nearly shot McGuniess but the local Army Boss refused to let us openfire. Shame really.

As to Bobby Sands MP: He won the Weightwatchers Slimmer of the year award didnt he?

Form an orderly que behind the gunsight.

[Sticky Blue]

I think this crossed everyone's mind at some point

Couldn't your SAS have just bagged this Adams guy?

The answer is simple... it would be illegal to do that!

[Wholley]

We crucified them on many occasions, particularly the Wheat Field, a whole brigade.

Yep.The Irish Brigade was decimated at the Wheatfield.Due largely to bad Generalship.And their Lt.General in Command was an Irish native who had been sentenced to death by the British for his nationalism.Having had his sentence commuted to deportment he arrived in the US in 1861.With the Idea of forming a Brigade to fight what he considered to be the British influence in the Southern States.He resigned from the Yankee army in 1863 as his Irish Brigade never recovered it's strength and he knew Grant didn't like or trust him.
He died a penniless drunk in New York City.
Now guess his name.

[Whitey]

Jerry Adams the 1st?
I don't know his name, but many a mercenary met his end smelling southern powder and feeling southern steel. A stone marker marks their place in my old town. When I return and become mayor someday I will have their filthy bones returned to Ireland or ask Ted Kennedy if he would like to have them since he is so fond of the Irish and their cause.
Some kids were rumored in the town to often urinate on the spot.
Hey Artist you should become a Confederate, you hate the Irish, so do we.

I don't hate the Irish. Just scum like Adams. You cannot tar an entire nation with the same brush. I will admit that in my younger days I never felt comfortable in the company of any Irishman who was not a Bootneck.

But that was common with a lot of British Servicemen in the seventies. NI ruled the mindset of the British Serviceman in them days. At one stage it seemed that whatever unit I got drafted to I would end up out in NI every bloody year!

To this day the sight of a Portacabin brings it all back. Strange but true.
