2. Comment on Sinn Fein’s split political personality north and south…
   on 16 May 2012 at 9:22 pm

   Well, when you think that in 1976 Gerry Adams stated that…

   “they allowed unscrupulous politicians and so called “Peacemakers” to gain the upper hand.”

   Nowadays he’s a so called Peacemaker himself.- Self-proclaimed that is.

   weidm7 is typical of those who live in the ‘everybody blames it on Sinn Fein land’ – wherein dwell the ‘anti-peace process the lot of you’ type people who believe that Marty and Peter are delivering us onto the Promised Land.

   The above might seem weird, but when you’re an out and out Shinner you have to believe that whatever you are told to believe in today might be the opposite to what you are told to believe in tomorrow.

7. Comment on McGuinness wants to support Northern Irish football team?
   on 3 February 2012 at 12:26 am

   And meanwhile the PSNI have snuck the RUC in the back door after millions were paid to leave them in the ‘bad old days’. Then there’s the peace loving British spending more millions on wars…

   I think Marty and Pete’s crusade is more about pulling the wool over those affected by the cuts they are pushing through on behalf of the Torys than showing each others houses off.

   They could have done this back in the 1970s ffs….

9. Comment on “This further signifies the positive effect the City of Culture title is generating in the region…”
   on 25 January 2012 at 11:56 pm

   Just as you mention Terry Wogan and Sinn Fein in the same sentence…

   I was wondering, just wondering mind you. Sinn Fein’s answer to Terry Wogan was thinking a lot recently about meeting HM.

   Now could we see herself or maybe one of herself’s various family members visiting the City of Culture in 2013 to make sure that every thing’s still UK and meet with the likes of Marty, lopsidedly smiling, as he tends to do on such historic occasions?

   Marty might return the bit of Gaelic spoken in Dublin with a few words of upper class English…

    “a whole lot of Londonderrys and other stuff inbetween….”

    On a good day in July you could sing what you just wrote and it might just sound a lot better than a lot of that other cultural stuff you can’t hear for Lambeg drums…
