   btw

   hat-tip to squinter by making a point with humour, without having to link to a 40 year-old Monty Python sketch on YouTube.

   Are you blaming Slugger for the news FJH?

   Mick

   Most news outlets cover other stories too. However, if you think the site’s coverage of all-things SF is fair, balanced and proportional…

   Your first post amply demonstrates that you just don’t do irony, do you…

3. Comment on Unionist unity candidate declared in Fermanagh South Tyrone

   Cynic

   The figure you quote about expenses is for the 5 SF MPs combined not just one. Of course, if you believe the Robinson’s, by dining out at the Dorchester every night despite only being in London for six weeks every year display a better use of expenses, feel free to do so.

   Of course it’s not an anti abstentionist move, but I’m amused by those, with a seemingly straight face, claiming it is. The compartmentalised mindset of the UUP never fails to amaze. Alliance with the SDLP at Stormont to oppose the DUP, allied with the DUP at Westminster to oppose the SDLP.

   The biggest joke in this is the attempts by Unionists to frame this as a response to SF’s abstentionism. Presumably there’s an equally good but slightly different reason why South Belfast needs an agreed Unionist candidate. Of course, this will make Gildernew’s victory all the sweeter.

6. Comment on “Can Sinn Féin do better?”
   on 8 April 2010 at 4:57 am

   Last time you used Monty Python (“Help, help, I’m being repressed”) to have a pop at Mark (and cover up your own abundant lack of humour), I suggested you could have used this skit (half in jest) to prop up one of your repetitive sledges at SF. And 11 days later, here we are.

   NB the ‘Judean People’s Front’ sketch is still out there. You could possibly wangle it in there next time Gerry mentions ‘micro-groups’.

7. Comment on Sir Reg wouldn’t have a gay about the B&B either…

   Secondly he was not turned down for his views on homosexually – no matter how much it suits him to spin it that way

   It must have been for his views on travellers, then ie ‘the scum of the earth’?

   Hold on, who am I kidding?

8. Comment on The Tories in Ulster and the social policy trap..

   BTW Mr Watson is wrong when he says the word Ulster doesnt feature in the literature.

   Have UCUNF selected a candidate for Donegal East yet?

    The whole process of selecting candidates has not been handled very well and allowing a member of Provisional Sinn Fein to get elected in FST will not be popular.

    Presumably it will be popular in FST.
