Comment on Adams ordered McConville execution, says ex-IRA leader…

Intelligence Insider, I knew that tag was about as meaningless as some of the comments you have made on this site. Your lack of knowledge about someone, who you appear to regard quite highly, is very telling indeed about the amount of intelligence that you may actually have.

Comment on Sinn Féin leadership have tea in Downing St
on 25 March 2010 at 2:36 am
Confirming the outworkings of the Hillsborough Deal, I assume, within which Gordon made many commitments written and unwritten. So comparing progress notes and awaiting outcomes would be my guess, pre election.

I have read the links Mick, and this is another twisted story, now thread, with one target Sinn Fein not the state or its institutions particularly the RUC and Social Serives. Its ludicrious, if not tired.

A further pathetic attempt to link these issues. “did not inform other members of Sinn Fein or the authorities” Lies, he may not informed Sinn Fein but the authorities were informed and questions have yet to be asked what happened with that information and why was it not acted upon. Another agenda perhaps, similar to Liam Clarkes’.

Old school, so you spoke to Gary a few months ago, therefore all is well with the world. I will now bow out of this with nothing further to say.

Seamus, I personally do not regard Gary Donnelly as a criminal, other things I am not so sure. However many others involved/associated with the Real IRA in areas such as Derry are total wasters and has/nearly beens with absolutely nothing to offer the commmunity that they come from.

Not to protest at this move out of the wing, would have confirmed the suspicisions of quite a few. We will see Mark, I am not ruling out either scenario that you have suggested.

Gary Donnelly was segregated from the republican wing due to a Real IRA death threat against him for being an informer, as I understand. His choice of prison (7 months) over probation or community service which were both offered by the judge, has raised a few eyebrows in Derry as to why Donzo wanted to be incarcerated in the aftermath of the Ciaran Doherty murder. The outwash of this killing is yet to unfold.

Comment on School transfers are big test for the Assembly

Your military metaphors are an examnple of the sorry and pathetic state your elitist cabal are in. This is not a war, this is change and dinosaurs like you have held this issue back for too long. This is a bit like the tide coming in, so you and your mythical battalions can stand at the shore line, good luck.

“equality of opportunity” PACE Parent
A small extract from your previous post but a fundamental point that you clearly do not understand. However articulate and well financed this pro-selection cabal are, you are a minority and will not be allowed to inflict failure on the majority of our children any longer. You are in your death throws and thank god for it.
