"They are going to become irrelevant to the brits eventually......Or is that just wishful thinking....."

The Brits need them, as much as they need the brits ,because the Brits now own them, and always have, since 74!. How long did Gerry Do?. He loves Helicopter Rides!, he never knew what it was like to think, One was being chucked out of a Helicopter. I think he should be chucked out of one. But, That's only my opinion!

Well said Marty, although I have to say I agree that this piece was more based in reality than satire.

"Gerry was talking out of his rear for so long it had to wear out eventually" @seamus- brilliant!!!

More importantly though I did not think of the dynamic of the quislings criminalising past actions/associations. I know they've firmly cemented the 'dissident criminal'.
The continued or renewed criminalisation of all participants surely could rightly come back and bite a lot of these fuckers in the ass ?? They are going to become irrelevant to the brits eventually......Or is that just wishful thinking.......

Robert the q$£ president for life,sphincter must be the most talked about one in the world,when one thinks that a nations future may have been placed within alongside the torn green book and Jonathan Powells speeches on how to influence army councils and bury the past,it is the main reason that I believe the Harold Shipman standin when he said he was never a victim of sexual abuse it would have been impossible to get anything else up the glory hole,the mans claims that he plays with ducks is believable it reminds him so much of his cronies they to are plastic and only quack when squeezed,and while some of us whistle and sing in the bath Gerry Itwasntme reminisces on the songs/tunes he used to whistle in the pokey long before they were ever released.

Michaelhenry,

that might be true in as far as he ever tells the truth but it would seem highly unlikely given his reputation for being a serial liar. Does anybody believe for example that he has ducks in the bath? It seems to be that it is just one more lie he made up. I would not be judgemental of people who take whatever measures to end their pain but he is just impossible to believe on anything. Even heard him on radio last week trying to implicate his poor mother in the crimes of his father. An an all round louse.

AM-

Apart from the odd cold or mishap at work i never needed any medical help-its good enough for me but others might think different-maybe the day in which the matron ruled the roost in hospitals should be brought back-[the good old days when nothing went wrong-] I read
that Gerry Adams took treatment in America for that case because it was not available in Ireland at the time he needed it done-

Robert,

a touch of brilliance.

Michaelhenry, the issue never much gripped me one way or the other. I guess if you are in pain or misery it is any port in a storm althoug few have acces to that type of money required. But why do you think he went for it if the medical sysytem you avail of is okay?

Fr. Mc Manus Visits Marian Price

Marian Price was today visited by Fr. Sean Mc Manus, President of the Washington-based Irish National Caucus. He spent ninety minutes with her, accompanied by her husband Jerry Mc Glinchey and her attorney Peter Corrigan.

Fr. Mc Manus said: I have been raising Marian’s case with the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Congress, and I wanted to visit her to show both personal and Irish-American solidarity. My heart was broken and my soul outraged by how this heroic Irishwoman has been treated. This seriously ill, lovely, soft-spoken woman should not be in prison. Her persecution – yes, persecution – makes a mockery of the Irish peace-process, questions the whole judicial system, and raises doubt as to whether there has, indeed, been a “ new beginning” to policing in Northern Ireland. Surely Peter Robinson, Martin Mc Guinness, David Ford and the NI Secretary of State must know that there is something rotten with their government’s treatment of Marian.”

Fr. Mc Manus added : “ I was so impressed that despite all the inhumane treatment and judicial misconduct, Marian has maintained her dignity and self-respect.”

He concluded: “ When Peter Robinson and Martin Mc Guinness come to Washington for their annual St. Patrick’s Day visit, the hard truth will be this: No matter how nice or encouraging their words, their message will be overshadowed by their government’s treatment of Marian. Her cruel mistreatment will mock their words, telling Washington there is still something rotten in Northern Ireland.”

MichaelHenry,

Are you privy to the same gold standard of global health insurance that 'Gerryissimo' enjoys? Does the party provide a private health scheme to members?

Marty,

'You, Mr Adams have used the private medical facilities in the states to have your arse fixed.'

A killer line, that lights the imagination, in what was a very enjoyable piece.

Not an appetising thought but one wonders what the medical team surveyed as they peered into the 'Eternal Orifice' of the 'Brilliant Comrade'? A conscience perhaps? I think not. An old party manifesto outlining the perpetuitous President's commitment to fight to the last drop of everyone else's blood, future life choices and happiness. Shoved up there,comm like, lest anyone should see. Possibly?

I think it more likely that the surgeons reached a political rather than a medical concensus about Gerry's condition. Sand particles from Shelling Hill Beach wedged deep into the sphincter occasioning intermittent but persistent grating of the prostate.

Prognosis;- Fair to medium. Substantial memory loss with no potential for 'arrest'.

Treatment:- Denial. To be administered orally if and when required. Keep out of reach of children.

Can anyone recall the Wendy Austin radio programme over a year ago when Maurice Morrow of the dup was on talking about Marian Price his hatred and lies was something to behold on that occasion both the presenter and prof Phil Scraton showed the man up for the bigot that he is.Morrow by the way was the chair of Stormonts justice committee,yet somehow Quisling $inn £ein would much rather cozy up to this bunch of bigots than attempt to seek justice for the people they claim to represent the hatred showed by Morrow and his cronies towards republicans like Marian and Gerry Mc Geough has not nor will ever likely abate,sackcloth and ashes would never be enough for these two faced bigots.

Anthony; I think this woman is possibly the teacher who worked in the meanscoil.. If so, she has a great rep and has definitely earned her stripes and more than deserves the promotion.

But yeah, she's definitely stayed under the radar - either that or she's been talking as gaeilge and they can't understand her.

Belfast Bookworm,

I'd say she worked her up off the radar otherwise they would have been screaming about it. If she is a good teacher, and she seems to be, she is entitled to her job. I think she should be backed.

2013-02-22T17:33:28.327Z
Marty,

it is not much of a mistake because your point is spot on. They want her out on the same grounds that they wanted Mary McArdle out. The judge said she would never work as a teacher again and they are trying to implement that.

Ex prisoners need to make the case that they were in because of a political conflict and that they are not prepared to accept that there are not any no-go areas in terms of employment other than the areas they choose themselves. That does not rule out ex prisoners displaying sensitivity when needed. The last thing we want to do is walk over the graves of people who republicans killed. But there should be no sackcloth and ashes. As I said elesewhere there was no law and order community in the North, just one community that backed state law breakers against non state law breakers. It seems wrong to me that the TUV or DUP can decide that we will not work in certain areas.

Coiste May have sprung up fr good intentions but it quickly became another money spinner or as Alasatair mc Donnel rightly called it slush fund.
Built on the foundations of rehabilitation it gives credence to the idea that us Ex-POWs should be re-settled into society, like tar is teach it is underpinned by the idea that we are all deviants in need of reform.
The GFA has also enshrined this theory, therefore they are claiming to tackle a discrimination that they are party to and funded for.

Michael Henry;

'Some hear but do not listen'

Thats rich, coming from someone who speaks but does not make sense 99.9% of the time.

This last post of yours is a thinly veiled attempt at detracting from the core of this subject, ie that ex prisoners are consistently penalised for their past.

The spin you're trying here is your usual, 'ach sure we're actually in control' thing - pretending that all is well and that SF are winning small political battles.

Yes, this teacher has worked her way up and earned promotion but she's most certainly in the minority.

We're on to you Mickey.

" Heard on the Radio that someone had been turned down for a Teachers
post in Derry because they had an IRA membership conviction against her "

As a matter of fact that story was on the Radio because the said Teacher got
promoted within her school and unionists and some of the media opposed that move-but why let the truth get in the way of a good yarn- some hear but do not listen-
