He's an out and out disgrace but I wouldn't be surprised if he's defended by all around him again.

He's almost as Teflon as old Gerry 'I wasn't in the RA' Adams ffs!
I see Gerry travelled first class to Cuba for Castro's funeral. There's a real Marxist for you.
The Stickies were the real Marxists.

The Provies were always more socially conservative.
Gerry was supposed the be the great Marxist republican thinker in SF while Marty was an Irish Nationalist and they didn't always see eye to eye.

FFS Snipe would you ever catch yourself on, that is the most tired of all left wing bashing lines barring "champagne socialist".

I would have thought as an educated man you would understand that the aims of socialists is not to tear everyone down to the lowest levels, but to raise the conditions for the worst off, whilst enriching the whole of society as a unit.

I await the usual predictable response ..................
NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.

I assume he was "comped" or upgraded and gets travel expenses. Don't really care how he got there.
