A poem for the day – Launching the Whaler Juan Peron
A Belfast epic, and one of my oldest poems, the opener of my first collection, Grub. The gist of the story was found in Moss & Hume’s Shipbuilders to the World: 125 Years of Harland and Wolff, Belfast, 1861-1986, which tells how Eva Peron was due to launch a huge whaling vessel in Belfast, built [...] read our review » -
Do Words Matter?: Book Review of Political Discourse and Conflict Resolution – Debating Peace in Northern Ireland
I share many of the concerns of Andy Pollak, whose recent post ‘My Response to the Slugger Begrudgers’ zeroed in on the ‘relentless flow of negativity’ of some Slugger commentators. Pollak’s post was largely concerned with the medium of the blog. Indeed, I think the anonymity of the online world encourages extreme discourse and allows [...] read our review »

Comment on Jean McConville’s daughter to take a civil case against Adams…
on 31 March 2010 at 12:26 am
Gerry Adams claims he is mentally unstable and requires therapy resulting from the sexual perversion of his dead father.
To date Mr Adams has not furnished any evidence to justify his condemnation of his late father as a pervert.
Did the father have sexual intercourse with Gerry Adams, other members of the family, or the neighbours’ children?
Was Adams’ mental instability exasperated by the news that his brother Liam was accused of raping his daughter?
Is Adams’ mental instability the excuse for not advising the electorate of West Belfast that he believed his brother Liam was guilty of a heinous crime? Did this cause the cover-up?
If Adams stands for Sinn Fein (the Sinners party) in the next election, will his psychiatrist issue a certificate to confirm his sanity?

Jimmy Sands asks the mocking question is Gerry Adams overqualified to represent West Belfast and remain a member of Sinn Fein.
The only qualification I know that Adams has is that as a barman he served drink to judges and lawyers.
Perhaps Gerry Adams is overqualified for the job as an MP for West Belfast. He is certainly qualified as an accountant. On an industrial wage he has a house in Belfast and Donegal and access to a flat in London (sorry, the taxpayer pays for the flat).
However, just like the Pope and bishops of the Roman Catholic Church, Adams and his minions in Sinn Fein have covered up the rape of children and other sexual abuses.
Adams failed to notify the electorate of West Belfast and Youth Clubs of the accusation of rape against his brother Liam involving a child.
By his own admission Adams is mentally ill as a result of his dead father’s sexual perversion; God only knows the state of his soul.
No doubt Adams, regardless of his mental instability, will garner votes from perverts in the next election.

Jimmy Sands, obviously you are another victim of the Sinn Fein brain-washing machine.
It is crazy that anyone should vote for Gerry Adams in his present mental condition.
The man is suffering from trauma as a result of the disclosure by himself that his dead father is a sexual pervert.
At present Adams suffers from amnesia. He denies he was a top Provo, and that he knew his brother Liam (at present accused of sexual abuse of his child) was a leading member of Sinn Fein.
Adams displays symptoms of schizophrenia. He claims he was in the Civil Rights Association which abhorred the use of violence yet repeatedly he refused to condemn the violence of the Provos.
Anyone voting for Adams in his present mental state requires urgent medical attention.

Michaelhenry, if the electorate of West Belfast wish to elect Mr Adams, who condemned his dead father as a sexual pervert, it is their choice.
If Sinn Fein wish Mr Adams to remain a member of the party, who condemned his dead father as a sexual pervert, it is their decision.
It is not up to me.

Comment on Sinn Féin’s sole Banbridge District councillor resigns from party
on 30 March 2010 at 6:06 am
Nice to hear that Sinn Fein’s only Banbridge District Councilor has resigned from the party.
It would be nicer if Sinn Fein, the party, just disappeared. It would be doing society a favour.
Adams/McGuinness and their ilk label themselves as republicans.
Let’s hope this is not an incurable disease.

The one thing that Gerry Adams has categorically stated is that a dead man, his father, was a sexual pervert.
If that is the case, and as he has failed to undergo therapy for the trauma this has caused him, is Adams i the right mental state to represent the electorate of West Belfast and remain a member of Sinn Fein?

Gerry Adams claims he would sit on the Garvaghy road to stop Orangemen.
Charity begins at home.
Adams should sit on his brother’s doorstep until he hands himself in to answer the charges of paedophilia.
