Sean; Michael Henry in all probability doesn't know what the IMF or World Bank are or of the horrific social and economic devastation it's policies inflict on developing countries. . He no doubt thinks its a great idea to have the G8 here. Great advertising for Norn Iron.

His boss McGuinness 'welcomes' it but cautiously added (to keep the party faithful who still believe socialism is part of SF strategy happy) added that he hoped it would provide an opportunity for world leaders to sit down and discuss the serious issues affecting the world;

'Not least the situation in the Middle East, in Syria and Palestine between the Palestinians and the Israelis."

McGuinness neglected to add 'the serious issues that are the making of every rotten war-hawk of the G8'

He also obviously forgot that he was photographed with the Israeli ambassador, holding a brochure encouraging tourism in Israel - despite his 'concerns' about Palestine.

I wonder which suit he'll wear in Fermanagh?

Michael I can't understand why you'd choose to attack Bookworm on this issue, it just proves to me you're incapable of accepting anything said by anyone who doesnt't go along with your party. The best part of it is in your foolish desire to try and get one over you've actually aligned yourself with the forces of the IMF and World Bank, who control the world by indebting it and making sure there's no way out other than on their terms. And yet you'd have us believe Sinn Fein are still a party committed to at least some degree of socialism!

If you could get over yourself for one second you'd agree that Bookworm is spot on, the G8 and the policies that derive from this organisation are designed to continue the process whereby the rich get richer while the poor lose out. Just where the hell do you and your party stand here? Are you against the corrupt processes that emanate from the G8 and are designed to ensure continued control over the world's resources and its people? Or are you just against those like Bookworm who you don't like? Obviously as far as you're concerned Bookworm is the greater evil here and the one more worthy of attack. Truly pathetic, in fact it's downright disgusting.

Once again you're personal attacks do a disservice to whatever, if any, point it is you try to make. Perhaps the problem is you have nothing to offer so distraction is served out in the form of inflammatory language designed to shift the parameters of the debate. That would be easier than addressing the real issues here. Have you anything constructive to offer or is that just too much to expect?

So they are pumping in a least 250k to spuce up shop fronts..(from the Belfast Tel 26/12/12) a head of the G8 in Fermanagh and Enniskillen..

Social Development Minister Nelson McCausland has already allocated £250,000 to fund a revitalisation programme in Fermanagh to pay for shopfront dressing, town centre lighting and provision of a marquee and pop-up stalls for use in public spaces.

Apart from finding out about U-turns done by the PRM and the lies they told..The sums of money I keep seeing..There is Billions going about that aren't doing anything apart from papering over the cracks...(and paying for big houses)

MH; would you ask one of your party mates could they lend me one of their big houses for it and I'll get cracking on organising it?

Belfast Bookworm-

" A peoples summit,that's what we need "

Well its a pity we cant find a hotel or a bigger venue which would hold all the people- what about if a hotel is booked and the representives who the people voted for speak on our behalf-what about that-or even better-why dont you book a venue and invite the people to it on the same day as the G8 one-Bring a book with you in case its the only company you would get-

Well said Davy. I'm already stocking up with Kleenex in preparation for being moved to tears by the words of the great and the good and how they're going to change the world. Not.

I can picture the local gombeens now, running around kissing arses as the G8 vomits up more extortion rackets under the guise of debt reduction schemes and manufacture more wars and famines to ensure such schemes will always profit them.

A people's summit, that's what we need.
