Gerry, kind of suits the uniform, if the cap fits and all that!
Heard some pretty disjusting, but apparently true stories about names and other things being handed over to the police in Ardoyne.
Brian is correct, it has all come full circle.
GERRY KELLY beat the brits and there supporters dissident clans,
the continuity loves the brit soldier uniform, thats why they never killed one in there 24 years
only a coward goes full circle when the armed brits are of our streets,
only a coward supports the brit loving media,
dissidents talk war, the PROVOs fought the war, that is why dirt talk hardline now.
Michael,
How in any conceivable way did Gerry Kelly "beat the Brits"? What exactly do you think the Provos won?
Scapaticci, McGuinness, Adams, Story, Donaldson, Gibney. Water finds it's own level. Dreadful to think people were once in awe and admiration of these guys. They're trying to hang on to the 'corner of the mouth' reputation whilst standing everything on it's head. Totally exposed. Don't think any of the Stormont brigade were actually active in the war in the run up to the surrender. They were actively selling it out in the background.
Let them wave as many flags as they wish, if you value your sanity, self respect and your liberty, STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM THEM.
michaelhenry, you did not fight in too many wars, so why are you trashing the 'dissidents'?
I think anyway seriously looking for a resolution to the parades issue should read the extracts from Blair's book.
He descibes Brendan Mac Cionnaith as so 'unreasonable he could have made it an art form'
Liked Gerry though, all that charisma seems to win them all round in the end.
Must admit never witnessed it personally, must keep it under wraps until a celeb comes his way.
Macker, do you think Marty is in Scotland?
The Pope is visiting there soon, maybe Marty is seeking absolution for all he said about the Catholic faith and the Pope?
Something dodgy going on, he does not usually disappear for so long, not with his lady wife.
Nuala,
Marty is somewhere off the radar screen. Unusual for him to be silent! Maybe he is on a pilgrimage to Lourdes to have his independence of mind cured!
Mackers, I don't think Lourdes could cut it, not at this stage of the game. Exorcism maybe!!!!
Could he has crossed over? politically that is!
Said something about Marty and the pope and my post got rejected error 503!
Nuala,
it has been playing up a bit today. I have been getting service not available readings. Post it again and it should work
Marty, has been off the radar for a long long time!
Don't think Lourdes would cut it, might be exorcism at this stage.
Will leave the pope out this time just in case!
Nuala,
getting the same message as you now myself. Must be a glitch in the system. As for Marty, I think he and Robert are meeting in secret! Both elope together!!
