Sinn Fein has ministerial posts over the last 10 years or so- and a couple of years arond the 20s and a few years to come.

Cracroi, Alex Maskey was warning people that non-payment could result in them being blacklisted.
The people in the South refused to pay and they had to scrub the water rates, now the shinners are British ministers they will not rock any boats as only the Master can walk on water.
Merry Christmas.

bet you anyhing michaelhenry that Sinn Fein will tell people to pay, watch this space.

That's what they said in early 2007 Fionnuala, before the charges were deferred. They were doing a lot of scaremongering using the memory of the rent and rates strike. Expect the same again next time around.

Mackers, 'Slash and Cut' would actually be a good name for them sort of like a modern day Burke and Hare, big G would definitely be 'Slash'

'Slash and Cut' sounds menacing!
Sinn Fein already predicted the economic downturn in the South, well according to the Rep news.
Vultures, quite easy to picture Adams and McGuinness picking over the bones of the less fortune, a few cheques curtesy of Ben Dunne in their pockets.
The shinners, apparently only like small donations, according to Ben.
They must want to leave him a few quid for the old cocaine.
Apparently he was cracking jokes with them about his kidnap, bet the Master found that really hilarious, especially when he asked for a 'refund'
Clearly stoned, or he will be if he keeps making them sort of jokes around that pair.

2010-12-22T19:37:41.513Z

michaelhenry, Sinn Fein signed up for the introduction of water charges.
Granted, Conor Murphy has asked for another three year deferral, hardly the same thing as not wanting to charge.
Unscrupulous, Murphy has'nt a clue and his boss is going to sort out the South.
I hope the people stick together and go with a mass campaign of non-payment, bet you anyhing michaelhenry that Sinn Fein will tell people to pay, watch this space.

It's interesting seeing Conor Murphy's defence of the 2008-2011 programme for government when you consider, as the likes of éirígí have mentioned on a number of occasions, that the Stormont parties "had already agreed to £1.65 billion [€2 billion] of cuts in public expenditure" as part of that programme. There's been a cuts agenda at the heart of Stormont for a while now.

There were protests on the 17th, as part of the ETUC day of action. Quite a few were cancelled because of the deteriorating weather conditions, but lunchtime leafleting went ahead at numerous workplaces around the Six Counties. The BBC gave a bit of coverage to NIPSA.

Clearly SF's "opposition" to imposing such a budget was nothing but empty posturing.

Good article, SF as always performing for the ´moment´.

Merry xmas all.

AM-

can't see anyone cut their support
from Sinn Fein because of the
recent budget at the parliament on the hill- the people have already spoken as there were no major protests- unlike in dublin and london over the last few weeks- and
good luck to those people,

It was Sinn Fein who made sure there was no water tax- the torys
and unionists wanted this tax-
It would have been easy to force the d.u.p to do a 1 year emergency
budget to get over next years elections but Sinn Fein does not take the easy road.

2010-12-22T10:35:28.837Z

I think Ed Moloney's latest piece on the SF 'property speculators' is going to ruffle a few feathered nests. Only economy many of them understand is in their own pockets. Ourselves Alone alright.

What a brilliant closing paragraph. On an icy solstice winter's night, all the more chilling. Slash and cut and fang and pierce indeed; your metaphorical extension of The Master's domination of the forces of darkness lengthens, even on this day of shortened shadows.
