Stay out of Libya: counterinsurgency doesn’t work
A moment of some significance in journalism perhaps, as the New York Times reviews the current talked about book, The Wrong War: Grit, Strategy, and the Way Out of Afghanistan by Bing West. The author is no bleeding heart but a former assistant Defense Secretary from the Reagan era who stomped his way round the Afghan [...] read our review »

Spare us a phoney row about racism, we’ve got enough on
A silly media row about racism just had to figure in the riots’ post mortem. Was the Tudor history expert David Starkey racist on Newsnight when he said: The whites have become black. A particular sort of violent, destructive, nihilistic, gangster culture has become the fashion. And black and white, boy and girl, operate in [...] read our review »

Gerry’s getting old!
Don’t worry, Gerry.
It could be worse…
…At least you’re not Tiger Woods this week.
WTF — or should that be LOL?
Am I going mad? It is Louis Walsh with those three random guys?
Classic from politics.ie:
“And heres your first pension payment Gerry.
The Queen herself wrapped it.”
Since we are playing the caption game:
‘The swine flew?’
undercover brother
Handler ‘Gerry are you happy to take Martin’s bung as well as your own?’
Gerry ‘Sure. Both envelopes in the bag, right? Wtf, who’s that with the camera?’
“Now to ditch the british baggage!!”
“the powers of a bag full of semtex”
Gerry sends a message to the Partitionist Irish Treasury Minister whilst welcoming some civil servants showing of their purchases on a recent shopping trip north of the border
T-shirt:
“My friends went away on holiday, and all they brought me back was….”
‘Adams introduces new education minister…
Ruane packs bags and takes lead in SF unionist outreach initiative.’
“Adams (2nd from Left)poses for a picture”.
Guy on the right is singing “We’ve got the money, Northern Bank money….”
“The annual FRU reunion party started off before they had even left the airport.”
Rumours of another Spice Girls reunion abound…
Gerry Adams’ agent sacked as cover for new book released…
Gerry always did love to surround himself with camp followers
Mick,
Can you get Channel 4 to put up a prize for the best one?
This has legs!
Even stranger than that photo, Adams walks through the ‘nothing to declare’ channel everytime.
Bangordub,
Follow the politics.ie link at the top. They have a contest; don’t know if there’s a prize.
Hehe
Cheers Joe
By the way,
1.It looks like an Airport.
2.The Airport is totally empty apart from this group
3.Look at Gerrys expression, then at the 3 eejits
Conclusions?
Conclusion;
Drink.
What is David Vance thinking with that Eoghan Quigg bird’s nest haircut?
I’ve nothing to declare except the mad brit lad behind me.
I’m sorry sir but you’ll have to pay extra for him
Ah just put it on peter’s account.
sorry sir;but that account is closed.
Well then his wifes’.
sorry sir.Closed too.
Ah just put on the english.
Yes sir.Why didn’t you say so sir.
“Sinn Fein meet with top TUV electoral candidates.”
Gerry meets the Special Reconnaisance Regiment in impromptu moment at St Angelo airfield bar. Following blokey conversation about Arlene Foster they offer to carry his bag.
Photo by Ken Harbinson who thought they were Haopa Tel Aviv supporters going to Celtic Park?
On a different note, I actually thought the picture was quite encouraging in a way. They seem to have bumped into each other at the airport. I thought Gerry looks genuinely pleased to participate and the other 3 guys evidently think its a hoot.
Finally the evidence that proves Gerry is being paid by the British Exchequer to do their dirty work.
I know this is funny, especially from a unionist point of view. But this is encouraging that times are a changing.
Sinn Fein open their Shankhill Road office.
The SF delegation to Willie Wonka’s factory pause for a photo-op with an Oompa-loompa…
yeoooooo Its our gerry !
‘Gerry meets up with his old handlers’
Four Poofs and a piano head off on tour with their newest member to promote their “Give peace a chance tour”
The two to the right of Gerry are Stan the tan Orange man and Drug-dealer Doug. The guy on the left is an undercover customs officer heavily disguised as Louie Walsh…
Stan: “A bag of drugs Gerry…Good Heavens no! Sure our Doug is the UDA’s equivalent of The Chancellor of the Exchequer, he’s responsible for all economic and financial matters. …Do yer Alistair Darling thing way the bag Doug.”
Doug: “Tae keep up way the rate o’ inflation I have put £3 on the price o’ E-tabs!”
Stan: Fur f-cks sake Doug cant ye keep yur trap shut?”
Undercover Guy: “Over here guys I believe these three are in possession of an illegal substance!”
Doug: “Fur f-cks sake Stan you towel me Adams would have diplomatic immunity!”
“Gerry & The Kneebreakers”
So long suckers!!
I wonder would a hardline unionist/loyalist politician stand in a photograph with a few lads with celtic/ireland jerseys and tricolours? Hmmm I wonder….
It certaily makes me think the better of him. Who knows they might have been constituents who had given up on Diane Dodds.
