Beginnings of a new southern Sinn Fein…

One of the things that kind of surprised me was the high rating for Toireasa Ferris in the southern constituency in the Irish Times poll. Bright, young, articulate and (dare I say it, good looking), she is making exactly the kind of waves Sinn Fein needs to create a viable 32 county ‘product’. Harry Magee reports:

If you scan through the policy page of her slick website, its major themes are democratic accountability, jobs, families, communities, public services, rural Ireland. You’ll traipse through at least 500 words before you even reach the only policy area that once mattered for Sinn Féin: the national question.

Even then, it is so inoffensive that it would not look out of place in a Fine Gael manifesto: “The peace process has opened the way towards national reconciliation and Irish Unity. I believe we should work towards making a United Ireland a reality by increasing the areas of North-South co-operation.”

    Not a bad bit of totty and she looks surprisingly Saxon. Much, much better looking than the so called “Beauty Queen Bomber” Martina Anderson.

  2. She is repugnant. She was on Vincent Browne recently claiming she had no shame or remorse for any IRA victims. Spouting the same old story about people on both sides blah blah blah. Even when VB asked her about the children who died, as she is a mother of two small children thought she might have a bit of compassion but nope, it was all a means to an end for her. So there you have it, babies died so she could be elected.

  3. Leather, her political and moral views maybe screwed up, but would you kick her out of bed for farting?

  5. She had a run in with Vincent Browne last week; She accused others of being ‘career politicians’ so Browne lit on her asking what she was if not a career politician. Then she brought up ‘corruption’ and again he jumped all over her talking about ‘bogus ’ expenses being claimed by S.F’s M.P.s and whether she was taken aback or what, she wasn’t fit for him.Mind you, Browne is a cantankerous old cuss to deal with.She needs to toughen up if she intends to stay in politics and help Daddy build the dynasty.

  6. Mick,
    don’t worry about S.F. and the national question. Wee Barry was on the Nolan show this morning and although I only caught a little bit of it he seemed to be saying in relation to the issue of MLAs expenses, that S.F. were the only ‘all Ireland party’ and the only party ‘campaigning for a United Ireland’ and somehow he managed to claim that any expenses they claim are, therefore, bone fide.

  9. She’s pretty hot and wouldn’t look out of place at a Tory function, probably make you a fry in the morning as well. Who cares what she thinks.

  10. Her refusal to condemn the killing of Garda McCabe went down like a ton of bricks south of the border.

  11. Who would have thought a good looking female would set Irish male politicos pulses a racing.

    The most of ye would give the Tories a run for their money in the sexual slease department if given half a chance.

  12. A welcome addition. Sinn Féin is changing.

    Perhaps not, but it certainly makes a Saturday night

  18. Toireasa seems to be thinking, “is that the President’s hands???”

  20. UMH,

    You really are a silly little boy. An illiterate fool!

    How many wanks have you had over Toireasa today? Two? Three?

    Us Taigs are clearly on to something here if the best case against Sinn Fein you can make involves the use of pathetic chauvinistic, adolescent jibes.

    You probably haven’t even been touched by a woman, apart from your little mummy. Awwww poor thing. You have all the characteristics of a severe anal-retentive.

    Off for another sneaky wank are we now? Do you think you’ll be able to stop the girls down the back of the bus from noticing?!

    Sad, sad little fool. That’s exactly what you are. Friendless, soulless and hate-filled.

    I really, really do feel sorry for you. In fact, I think I might go pray to the Blessed Virgin Mary for you now - let’s help one virgin can help another…

  21. It’ll take time, but as the peace process progresses SF’s message and appeal broadens.

  22. It’s not like UMH has any choice other than to go for poor little Toireasa. Look at his options within his own community..

    Arlene Foster - miiiiaaaooowwwwww!!

    Dianna Dodds - wolfwhistle baby!!

    Iris Gobinson - the Bell of the Ball, rrrrrrrr

    I bet he secretly longs to be tied up in a dirty dungeon with his Mistress de Brún.

    Sad, sad fucker

  23. I was thinking about the this outpouring of sexism today when I saw a picture for Eibhlin Byrne - Fianna Fail’s second-tier candidate for the Dublin Euro seat - on the tail of the No 10 bus to UCD. ‘Now she really has a face like the back-end of a bus’ ocurred to me for a split second but I bravely repressed it. I’m only sharing it with you as part of my therapy.

  24. Have to admit both Unionist paties are short of ‘talent’ in certain departments. Hopefully the Tory link up will help us out. As a friend of mine once said, Vote Labour, Sleep Tory.

  25. A bit of a pathetic thread.

    I have a theory about this Sinn Fein flaw that demands that their genes are sexuallu attractive and its not complimentary.

    Ireland fears Sinn Fein’s soulless genes

    It’s those rightwing genes that Ireland sees, acknowledges and really fears. Sinn Fein TD Martin Ferris’ daughter, Toireasa, chair of Kerry County Council, showed us – some might say a bit too much of – those perfect sexually attractive genes on The Late Late Show not so long ago.

    It’s fair to say that Sinn Fein also have some spectacularly attractive men at the helm including Gerry Adams, Martin McGuinness and Gerry Kelly to take but a few examples. They are the picture of genetic perfection in a human sense. But why did they get involved in the first place?

    I believe that Martin McGuinness got involved because he didn’t accept the authority of SDLP leaders on the basis that he and his associates believed that they were superior genetically. The handsome Martin McGuinness was not going to tip the cap to the inferior John Hume, just like the handsome Gerry Adams (a barman) was not going to tip the cap to the inferior Gerry Fitt in west Belfast.

    Prior to the Troubles, as teenagers both Martin McGuinness and Gerry Adams had signally failed to achieve even a single O’level pass in the exam process, yet they deemed themselves better equipped to deal with the Troubles than men like John Hume, Seamus Mallon, (a headmaster), Austin Currie (a teacher), Paddy O’Hanlon (a lawyer) and so on.

    The basis of their reasoning was not simply political, but genetic. They believed that they were superior in genetic terms to those who had succeeded in the exam process. 

    I’ve seen it often in my own life here in Derry. These attractive streetwise kids couldn’t identify with the teachers in the education system, because the teachers tended to be plain and inferior. These young boys had no respect for the teachers because they believed that they were superior and that they would succeed in life without losers like teachers helping them. It demonstrates what many of us suspect already – that there may be a genetic quality to delinquency.   

    We had a recent example of Gerry Adams’ belief in his own superior genes when he was talking to the “inferior” Sean O’Rourke on RTE’s The Weekend in Politics. Adams continuously smiled patronisingly at the well-informed O’Rourke as if to suggest that it was beneath him to have to deal with such an irritation. Adams tends to do that with O’Rourke and other interviewers, whose genes he perceives as inferior to his own. Of course Adams works on the basis of sexual attractiveness and those he perceives to be inferior are usually ugly or very plain like John Hume, who Adams thinks he completely gutted during their talks process by going on to win many more votes for Sinn Fein.

    These Sinn Fein leaders are used to dismissing the humanity of other people. They would have done it with ugly girls all their formative years.

    In my own experience, men like Gerry Adams are only boys who have never really grown up. They are shallow, unfeeling, cold and callous. But sexually attractive people tend to be like that to people who are not sexually attractive. They use other people and they generally tend to believe that they have the upper hand when it comes to the ugly or plain people.

    Mainstream Ireland fears Sinn Fein like blacks fear white supremacists, not because they would give us poverty in a Cuba but because they might give us gas chambers in our equivalent of Auschwitz as they strive for our Aryan heritage.

    But there is a drawback to having sexually-attractive genes in that the “perfect” genes tend to be tainted with spiritual shallowness. This is the trade-off between the moment and the eternal. Those who seek to breed with sexually attractive people tend to live for self-gratification and those who marry for love tend to have eternal values or a soul. Souls feel pain; shallow people feel little or nothing of other people’s pain.

    That’s the reason why Sinn Fein fought the war against the British, a war that was doomed to defeat on anybody’s terms. They fought it because they simply did not feel the pain of the people they were supposed to be fighting for or of their enemy who was more caught in a tricky situation than anything else.
