Sinn Fein really seem to be the enemy of these protesters in any of the videos I've seen for whatever reason.

Apparently SF are bringing them in so they will vote for SF!

Just one rumour I heard.
It was far across the sea,
When the devil got a hold of me,
He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.
na na na na na na na na na
na na na na na na na na.

Is he not gone from SF now?

Seems preoccupied waging his 1 man battle against the evil of tapping your card when paying for something these days.

I assume as SF continue to pivot more and more to the centre the perma-opposition types will see themselves as having nothing in common with them. In truth, that’s no loss for SF going forward.

I'd imagine they will vote for, if they believe in voting, The Irish National Party or Irish Freedom Party or the likes. I'd imagine in the next GE they will substantially increase their vote but it will still be a drop in the ocean compared to the more established parties.

With the intention of running for President in 2025 too. An absolute crook.

Has to be a ‘test the water’ thing. Also, it’s 25 years since the GFA was signed, so I expect he will be fairly prominent in any commemoration and events marking it.

Just when you think political ethics and sleaze couldn't get worse, out comes Bertie.

Will backfire spectacularly in my opinion.

Mick Wallace and Claire Daly speaking at an event called 'No To NATO - No To War' in London this weekend alongside the likes of George Galloway and Chris Williamson. You just have to put your head in your hands and wince.
