I think it would be interesting if we were to go back to the polls. The feedback from those going door to door for the local council elections, seems to be that people are very angry about the lack of progress. Previously that would always seem to further polarise the electorate but since the anger you would think it might create a change in mindset. Like you say, I can't see it. Unfortunately it will take a few generations for the sheeple here in NI to understand they need to think differently.nonplussed wrote:All we can hope for is a huge two fingers from the electorate to the DUPs and Shinners....

Re: Lyra McKee
Strangely I was discussing this with a neighbour yesterday who normally gets a visitation from the local SF rep, I get one from the DUP, they stick strictly to their own side of religion, we have however had our SDLP and UUP reps round and they visit both sides round here, respectably asking for your 1 or 2 preference.nonplussed wrote:All we can hope for is a huge two fingers from the electorate to the DUPs and Shinners....

We were wondering if it is significant that SF and DUP have stayed away from what is a generally very mixed and open minded area as they dont want the hassle and being told where to go ?

Re: Lyra McKee
The Shinners have been quite active in our socially mixed S Belfast suburb. All nicely suited and booted to appeal to the garden centre moderate anti Brexiteers

Re: Lyra McKee
The Shinner standing in our area is not even well liked by the locals, going to be interesting where his votes go, or will they abstain, his opposition for the nomination is a decent lad and there was surprise in the party choice, perhaps he was seen as too moderate ?big mervyn wrote:The Shinners have been quite active in our socially mixed S Belfast suburb.

Re: Lyra McKee
Listen up fûcko, at a tough count this is the 1287th time I've pulled you on some outrageous bullshit only for you to row back on what you said, going on to say what you didn't write but say you meant.rumncoke wrote:Baggy how fng wrong you are"
LOOK.... it doesn't wash. What part of "the Dissident Ra ,are known but tolerated by the majority the local population" does your follow up even remotely clarify. It's a carelessly false characterisation of the truth, to wit, a despicable lie and you my friend are a cùnt for distributing such heinous casual lies.
More importantly, I'm fūcking sick of this sort of tom kite, yet find it hard to ignite the unforgivable, so would one of you moderators do the right thing and ban my alter ego permanently, for I'm certainly never signing up another one and would consider it a great kindness.
I'm happy to leave calling a cûnt a bästarding fückdog, and though doubtless you'll delete the post, I'm happy never to trouble you again. I'll simply seeth quietly when I see drivel from a lying cünt. Thank you and...
Goodbye
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.

A florid reply indeed, Sir.
My English teacher as yours, would have had fun parsing some of those sentences.
By the way the sentence I wrote is in the Conditional Perfect tense.
Stay on board as your normal vernacular is most welcoming.

They've already gone back to not communicating with each other. Clearly yesterday and Friday's gestures were little ploys to curry favour in the council elections. Feckers.Shan wrote:Agreed but I fear it will make no difference to the politicians.Snipe Watson wrote:Fair play to Fr Martin Magill

Baggy the majority vote SF and SF tolerate the Dissident RA -- ( SF have no other choice or they buy a Fn bullet ) they who live or lived by the gun -- know the cost -- you never retire from the IRA -- you're either active or inactive -- but you never retire -- those who try to walk away --have to run away -- the price of life is silence. a vote for SF, is a vote for the gun
You can talk about something that happen 5 - 10 years ago provided you omit everything involving the « untouchables »
The here and now — forget it without evidence it’s heresay and passport to the graveyard .
Understanding why someone votes the way they do invokes the words" forgive them for they know not what they do '
Do you think for one moment all the condemnation that has been heap on us my the media etc would have been heard if the bullet had hit a policeman instead of Lyra Mckee . ?
The public have walk this road before remember " the peace women ' six months from now some heartless sod will say " sure she won't have died if hadn't stood beside the police.
And "the boys" will back in business collecting their dues and kneecapping on demand
Baggy get off your self righteous horse and open your f'n eyes.
John Wayne is a figment of your imagination and nobody is coming to his rescue -- heroes die in this country
When SF start to lose seats I ‘ll believe the IRA are no longer tolerated .
