The IRA, your personal glory boys, Marty, are the last surviving arm of the Nazi SS. In wartime they were an integrated intelligence branch of the SS, reporting directly to an SS officer in the Nazi embassy in Dublin. During the Nazi blitz on Belfast they told their SS controller every day which parts of the city had been hit the previous night, so the Nazi Luftwaffe wouldn't waste bombs on already devastated areas the next night. Nice.

And your little tin god De Valera, the man who had Michael Collins murdered, was a massive Hitler-fancier who, according to the US ambassador in Dublin at the time, fully expected and hoped that Hitler would win the war and was shocked and downcast to realise, after Alamein, that that was not going to happen. The so-called president of Ireland, Hyde, was just as big a Nazi as De Valera and both of them paid condolence calls on the Nazi ambassador in May of 1945 to express their deep grief at Hitler's death. While De Valera's visit was on public record, Hyde's was kept a state secret until the 21st century. It had nothing to do with public diplomacy. It had everything to do with private sympathy.

In short, there's only one Nazi sympathiser round here, and it's you, Marty. It's you.

I've been surrounded by Republicanism my whole life so of course I have very conflicting feelings about them. Tbc they done more damage to my community than anyone else's.

So no I don't condone them and would never just blindly defend them.

Says a lot about you 57 that's this your reaction each and every time the 'bad brits' comes up is to either accuse (me of being IRA lover no1) or just blind defence of the indefensible.

I though you were an educated sort, rather than another ****ing imbecile.
11-13-2018 , 11:34 AM
Marty,have you ever expressed admiration for De Valera on this forum?

I ask because its not the first post from 57, when in a discussion with yourself, where he has referred to De Valera as 'your tin god'.
11-13-2018 , 11:43 AM
Never and he's not alone in not receiving my admiration.

Expensive designer coats ban at Merseyside school


A school in Merseyside has banned pupils from wearing expensive designer coats in a bid to stop "poverty-shaming" among its students.

In a letter to parents, Woodchurch High School in Birkenhead said pupils would not be allowed to wear branded coats such as Moncler, Pyrenex and Canada Goose.

Head teacher Rebekah Phillips said pupils and parents supported the move.

However, some people on Twitter have called the ban "absolutely ridiculous".

The labels banned by the school include children's sizes which sell for between £400 and £1,000.

The ban will be introduced after the Christmas holidays.

Just bought a CD parka a couple of weeks ago myself. Don't know how folk are able to afford them for their kids though. Wouldn't be surprised if most of them are fakes as there are loads around.

What sort of place do we live in that a man can be jailed for 4 months for not paying £100 bar/hotel bill?

https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/n...-37543073.html

Same place a doctor can steal a painting worth ~£15k from the same hotel and say 'she's sorry' and that's the end of it.

Crazy.

Harry Leslie Smith, an activist for refugees, war veteran, and advocate for NHS is currently in the hospital after a fall.

He's 95. So, a full recovery is highly unlikely.

Here's his interview on The Russell Howard Hour from about a year ago.
