I caught the tail end of an interview with Paul Butler on a news programme last night,Butler was saying that young new and ambitious people coming into prominent positions within psf,and in particular posts within the assembly,will not wish to be paid "the average industrail wage"they would be looking for full remuneration of their salary, I,d hazard a guess that this is the opening shots of an internal move by clique of financially motivated members within the party, I think this will eventually happen and will mark the demise of psf as a would be working class organisation,wont it be ironic that the death of psf would be down to greed,Tain bo a cara I,m tickety bo getting ready to head of to Scotland next week gonna for a clan gathering,hope your love life is going well and your not jumping of any more mountains.

Marty

How’s yourself chara? You raised a good point but did you honestly think you would get an answer from the Brotherhood of Unionist Republican Preachers?

I would have to go along the lines of what Dixie is saying; we are in the re-education phase and on the fast track to becoming more unionist than the unionists.

Mickeyboy I appreciate your honest answer,but would,nt you agree your party has not made any serious effort either through Stormont or the policing boards to root out these people,and given the fact that they have allowed people like Gerry Mc Geough to be sent down and remained almost mute for what passes as justice in this part of the world,says that psf,are either not able or interested in seeking justice for those they claim to represent,but are just window dressing norn iorn on behalf of the british goverment,for nothing more than what amounts to a few perks for the few, its a pity that there wasnt more in psf with your honesty mo cara.

Marty-

A hard Question has no easy answer-

To be honest- i don't know if those
r.u.c member's who set up Rosemary
Nelson or any other person are now
in the p.s.n.i or if they took their pay of- [ pay of was a disgrace ] as you know there was not just a few rotten apples in the
r.u.c - they were rotten to the core- some will say that about the
p.s.n.i - but Sinn Fein is now on the policing board and asking people to join the police- i think
this make a difference-i hope i'm not wrong- dirty cops- i could never support those-

2011-05-25T22:49:40.978+01:00

michaelhenry,
Billy Mc Kee would not give a stuff whether you believed him or not, why would he?
He did not name Des Dalton as you implied, he said he left RSF because of the alleged link between members of the continuity and drugs.
He left British Sinn Fein because he believed they sold the people out.
Still no comment from you about that one.

2011-05-25T21:51:37.667+01:00

michaelhenry you are either an average industrial wage earner or you simply haven't a titter of wit.

The fact is, the more PSF increase their vote the closer they become to Unionism and the 'UK'.

Take Danny Morrison who usually tests the water before Adams jumps in....

From The Belfast Telegraph:

Ex-IRA prisoner Danny Morrison in U-turn on Queen’s trip

Monday, 23 May 2011

Former Sinn Fein publicity director Danny Morrison has performed an about-turn and admitted the Queen's trip to Ireland was “a good visit”.

The ex-IRA prisoner, who referred to the monarch just before her arrival in Ireland as “the Queen of sheep”, said the visit had forced him to revise his opinion.

Morrison — who organised a protest march in Belfast in 1977 against a visit to Northern Ireland by the Queen — said her latest trip as “one of the high points of her reign”.

But the veteran republican, who shook the hand of Princes Charles during a chance meeting at the Glastonbury music festival in England, said: “I have had to change my opinion.

“I think that my judgment now has to be that it was a good visit.”

As I said over in Slugger in relation to the above:

I expect Gerry and Marty will use the excuse that Roger Casement was a ‘Sir’ when the time comes...

Thats a decision for Eirígí Mickeyboy, but maybe as a psf member you will respond to my earlier query re; the report into Rosemary Nelsons murder, are those policemen who passed on intelligence on Rosemary to loyalist paramilitaries still in the psni and if so do they have your party,s full support,I see buried on page 18 of todays Irish News a tiny report stating that teapot Enda Kenny informed the Dail that the british goverment does not intend to hand over any more files on the Dublin -Monaghan bombings,he informed the Dail that he did not have the authority to ask the brits to hand over any other files,so much for the new detente between the two nations, more like fuck you Paddy,and reply thank you sir!

AM-

Had to look twice when i seen the name McIntyre on the candidate list
for the west belfast by-election seat- but this was a Aaron McIntyre
for the alliance party-

No eirigi in sight marty- the
Sinn Fein people have ran them out of the election zone-

Fionnuala-

2011-05-25T09:47:51.108+01:00

Ryan-
'little off topic here but will Mary McAleese ever go away?'

I couldn't agree more. While she has an official capacity why is her hubby Dr. Martin McAleese also trying to grab the limelight?

He has also been awarded by the 26 counties Taoiseach a seat on the Seanad, why?

Also, their son is making waves within the Obama camp over in the good old US of A. Obama's sole reason for his visist was to attempt to shore up the Irish american vote he needs for re-election. Is their no end to the political ambitions of the McAleese family?

P.S. I Remember!!, Dr Martin McAleese is best renowned for giving the UDA leader, Jackie McDonald (his golfing buddy no less!) political credibilty for their actions on the Partitioned Island of Ireland!!

2011-05-25T08:26:49.564+01:00

Last post must have been caught up in the volcanic ash,it has dissapeared(cant blame the bearded one this time ,although I wouldnt be suprised if his bosses were f##king about),anyway the report into Rosemary Nelsons murder states that it could not rule out the possibility of "involvement by a rouge element of the security forces" it futher states that ruc officers were hostile towards the solicitor and had leaked intelligence to loyalist paramilitaries. now maybe Mickeyboy or someother psf supporter can tell me if those same officers are now still in the psni and if so do they still have the full support of psf.

2011-05-24T23:25:31.060+01:00

michaelhenry,
Des Dalton is president of republican sinn fein, he is not a member of the continuity.
There are no accusations against Des Dalton in relation to drugs, so what is your point?
The crux of Billy Mc Kee's article was, that Adamshite and Mc Guinness were traitors, why have you not answered that.
In relation to eirigi. Why do Sinn Fein fear them? eirigi members behaved with the utmost decency throughout the elections which is more than can be said for the shinners, no surprises there.

Fionnuala-

Eirigi has not even got the power of a water pistol-

Billy Mckee said in that interview that he had to leave r.s.f because of the continuity drug dealing- - [ des dalton is still the leader of r.s.f ]- not my words- Billy Mckee's- the person who you think is truthful- thank God they are anti-Adamshites.

2011-05-23T23:32:53.891+01:00

I just love it when the Adamsites like michaelhenry rehash the old SDLP catchphrases about votes and elections. It shows that they can't even be fecking original.

Then again Hume and Fitt didn't carry the coffins of young men and women down the road to becoming peacemakers who thousands voted for.

In fact they were calling for peace in 1976 when Adams [Brownie] was writing; 'they allowed unscrupulous politicians and so called "Peacemakers" to gain the upper hand.'

I believe it was a sly dig at the Billy McKee leadership?

Nevertheless, all those thousands of votes and what are they doing? Thats right, pushing through Tory cuts and becoming more Unionist than the Unionists themselves.

2011-05-23T23:02:03.429+01:00

little off topic here but will Mary McAleese ever go away? I have seen her more in the past week than I have in the past 15 years. I just cannot stand her "yes I was raised in Ardoyne but look how special and elitist I am now" attitude. Plus she kind of looks like a younger Margaret Thatcher.

2011-05-23T22:58:32.237+01:00

Michaelhenry-
maybe it'll be Pat Sheehan. Poor guy devotes his life to the army, goes on hunger strike, spends many years behind bars and look how he gets dumped in favor of some guy who sat on his hands the past 30 years. Sources tell me the Great Leader was none too pleased with his Easter speech saying that no one knows what Bobby Sands would think of the SF strategy. It makes people wonder if yeah maybe this strategy really does suck after all.

2011-05-23T22:23:13.865+01:00

marty,
I think the bold Maskey was handed a poison chalice, no other takers.
Sinn Fein's 'big guns' looked decidely small when they were offered it.
We haven't had Gearoid here for six months and no-one has even missed him, just goes to show the impact he had.

michaelhenry,
no 'big guns' needed to tackle Paul Maskey, a water pistol would do.
Billy McKee did not mention Des Dalton, it was your two masters that he called traitors and sell-outs.

2011-05-23T20:40:28.461+01:00

Any word yet on who is going to be the eirigi candidate to fight Maskey- time for them to bring out their big guns [ if they have any ]

Mc Guinness has nowhere to go now only lower.
Both he and the other crawler seem to be taking their time responding to the traitor allegations against both of them by Billy Mc Kee.
