LongTimeLurker Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Was responding to Jacksgranda and not to misguided SNP supporters who mistakenly see SF as some sort of sister party when they really have a lot more in common with the constitutional nationalism of the SDLP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know what you mean by that, and I suspect you don’t either. If you want to respond to a question put to another poster (who doesn’t seem to want to answer) then at least make it understandable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to respond to a question put to another poster (who doesn’t seem to want to answer) then at least make it understandable. All right, Mr Tetchy. A couple of years ago Boris Johnson made the comment below in the context of the UK leaving the European Union. “If Monsieur Hollande wants to administer punishment beatings that anyone chooses to escape, rather in the manner of some World War Two movie, then I don’t think that’s the way forward.” That was one reason for my reference to punishment beatings. The second reason was the close relationship between Sinn Fein and Republican paramilitaries whose methods of policing "anti-social" activities in their communities frequently involved punishment beatings. Finally, as you probably know, Irish Republicans have no great fondness for the UK (and England in particular. Given this hostility, it's not unreasonable to infer that their involvement in negotiations might lack sympathy towards the UK. I don't think this is like,ly but it was a reasonable comment. I hope I have put your suspicions to rest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once covid over they will play the victim card, FG/FF lose coalition will come under serious pressure and then it's all to play for. Sinn Fein will be in pole position. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
