Lessons in Cute Hoorism: “Graft was accepted, for you were taking from the British…”
I’ve been catching up on some reading, recently. Most pleasantly surprised by John Drennan’s latest opus from Gill and Macmillan, Cute Hoors and Pious Protestors… It’s early days yet, but I was struck by this paragraph, part of a dissection of Fianna Fail near the beginning: One of the more fatal consequences of our colonial [...] read our review »

Legion of the Rearguard – Dissident Irish Republicanism by Martyn Frampton, Book Review
Are you confused about ‘dissident’ Irish Republicanism? Anxious about its existence and its seemingly increasingly deadly capabilities? Martyn Frampton’s new book, Legion of the Rearguard: Dissident Irish Republicanism (Irish Academic Press, 2011) serves both as a primer on active dissident groups and a timely analysis of their historic significance and contemporary capabilities. This book clears [...] read our review »

Is Fianna Fail the new Woolworths of Irish politics?
It’s not published until 3rd March, but one book I recommend you place an advance order for from Slugger’s Bookstore is James Harkin’s Niche. Belfast émigré Harkin examines a number of stories from business, culture and politics and comes to a single insight: everywhere the broad middle is collapsing. He offers Woolworths as an iconic exemplar [...] read our review »

Comment on Bloody Sunday Live blog…

It is very ironic that a loyalist should brand a march to be illegal. What happened to being allowed to walk the Queens highway? Does that only apply to UVF/UDA sponsored Protestant marches?
The men were innocent; the men were murdered by terrorists, this is now fact!
Bloody Sunday will now go down in history as the day the British army declared themselves to be terrorists!

Featly
You should read Jim more closely. He is allowed to be provocative and lie, while I’m blocked. You just don’t want me to shut everyone up and you know it. Your a fool.

How can you say your figures are accurate?
Do you know all the circumstances of every politically motivated murder in this state?
I doubt it!
The Brits have the most questions to answer for their and Unionist misrule in Ireland…Fact

So in your opinion, why have they illegally occupied another country; what is the reason?
Try and answer properly with more than five words!

Bigoted opinion is no factual account Jim. I know many fromer IRA Vol’s. who do work, mostly in construction. They are limited by the PSNI and its idea of national security.
Your bigotry is shocking by the way – however do you get away with you five word snipes?

The reason why loyalists are determined to portray the people killed on Bloody Sunday as guilty is they need to justify their 30 year sectarian murder campaign. Loyalists must convince themselves they are the victims and therefore need their martyrs. The fact that loyalists terrorists killed hundreds of innocent Catholics is an inconvenient truth that must obscured at all cost. Protestants killed by loyalist terrorists really don’t count.

How many innocent men women and children have the terrorist Paras murdered in illegal occupation in Afghanistan and Iraq? I suppose we will never know as it is on the other side of the world! The Paras are fighting in Afghanistan because the British government cannot stop the international drugs trade. They are not fighting on my behalf as I do not agree with the British government illegally occupying foreign lands.
The Paras from tomorrow, will legitimately be known as a terrorist organisation.

Have you ever heard the phrase ‘Lies, damned lies and government statistics’. Of course the stats will be in favour of the Brits and will show republicans to be the big bad wolf!

Given the fact that I am not an ‘ex-vol’, I cannot say how they feel. If you had read my comment properly, I said that all murder is wrong.
ALL MURDER
The difference between state murder in Ireland and other politically motivated murder in Ireland, is that the state investigated all other murders except for murders carried out by state sponsored terrorists. How many terrorist soldiers or terrorist RUC men were put behind bars for their terrorist activities?
THAT IS THE DIFFERENCE
