2. Comment on The IRA campaign: not left wing but sectarian struggle

   To be honest this from turgon is nothing more than the usual facist tosh! the Irish Republican Army was a very broad based organisation that had members from both conservative and revolutionary beliefs and yes a minority of sectarian bigots got in.
   He mentions Jim Lynagh as a maoist, balls, a socialist and believer in the tactics of viet cong yes, as was my good family friend Paddy Kelly(rest in peace), a carrickfergus man whose family was chased out by the same facists who now no doubt vote for the TUV

   I would say that 4th west tyrone assembly seat is looking good for the provos’, the SDLP has shot itself in the foot and the loss of Eugene McMenamin who carries a huge personal vote in the strabane area.
   The SDLP in West Tyrone has effectively split with the decision to run Byrne instead of McMenamin, they could lose a few council seats in Strabane over it as well

   Eamonn McCann would love to be elected, the man loves nothing more than making long winded speeches that no one wants to listen too, stormont is his natural home

   Id say Gallagher will get in,partly due to the SDLP splitting like the popular front of judea and partly due to Sinn Fein standing one candidate in particular whos idea of community politics is showing up for the easter commemoration, or as my friend put it ‘in strabane they could run a donkey wrapped in a tri-colour and it would be elected, it appears the provos couldnt find the donkey so had to run him’

   the assembly election for west tyrone could prove interested as well due to sdlp split, a chance that sinn fein might grab that fourth seat

   Michaelhenry still pretending to be republican? If its hardline to believe that a republican party should stick to all its principles or none at all then maybe i am. Provisional Sinn Fein have broken every pledge they have ever made so why not that one?? Why take offices and expenses but not take a seat? Sinn Fein dont have principles or morals so it couldnt be that

   ah Michaelhenry the disciple of St Gerry of Ballymurphy, i dont support the oath to the foreign monarch and believe its outdated and pointless even for the british people, i simply believe that as the Provisionals have sold out every other principle they hold (remember the old days when they were republicans? ) it would be a very small step to take a seat in Westminister (you already claim your expenses and offices there after all) to prevent a Thatcherite government.

   Would you like to see another Thatcher in power if you could stop it? beating in mind Michael you support the Colonial Police and the Puppet parliament of your british masters?

   They could easily sell the oath to the party faithful if they claimed they were stopping Thatchers party getting into government, hell even i would support that and i thought Sinn Fein went too far with the police!

   First and foremost unionism has yet again played its Orange card, if the SDLP dont pull out then they are finished, its as simple as that, the nationalist voters showed what it thought of there refusal to pull out of West Tyrone years ago by destroying the party. If FST is lost to Unionism the death bell will ring for the SDLP.

   And the provos would love to take there seats in Westminister, they just need an excuse to explain swearing the oath to the foreign monarch. And the hung parliament may just be that excuse, the brave republicans can march to the rescue and prevent the new thatcher’s from taking power.

    Michaelhenry the republican socialist movement oppose what you call the peace process, the oppose Sinn Fein’s strategy of criminalisation of republican’s and oppose Sinn Fein’s support for british rule in Ireland. Just because they dont feel the need for armed resistance at this moment in time does not mean they support your surrender to your british masters
