Sinn Fein moving against Free Speech
Read more about: Sinn Féin 
I guess lots of the bloggers are down at the blog Awards and have not got a chance to blog about the protests in Dublin Alas I am not based in Ireland any more so can’t really talk about it as I can’t access the mood. I am sure many bloggers will be talking about it tomorrow. Anyway. In a surprise move Sinn Fein call on the government to resign. Also in a more weird and worrying quote.
Aengus Ó Snodaigh TD criticised the Government for wasting away the Celtic Tiger. He said no home should be repossessed, except those of banker Brian Goggin and businessman Ulick McEvaddy.
Deputy Ó Snodaigh told the Ard Fheis that their homes should be ‘nationalised’.
So up to “ no home should be repossessed” the speech makes sense but then the rest is scary. Why should Ulick McEvaddy home be repossessed? He gave an opinion, it is not a crime we are a free democracy where anyone is entitled to say what they think without punishment. It is called Free Speech we are not a country that punishes descent. Is Sinn Fein suggesting the punishment of saying something that most people disagree with is you lose your home?
a united progressive and democratic movement
Progressive my arse.
Sinn Fein IRA are a marxist socialist organisation. Their core belief is it is easier to take what you want at the point of a gun than work hard for it.
Hmmmm… while the wording wasn’t great I think you’re both misinterpreting what was meant to be a sarcastic or slightly humorous political rhetoric… something along the lines of me interpreting you Simon as being literal when you suggest your arse is progressive!
Colm, that has to be the most boilerplate analysis I’ve read in a while. I can’t think of any marxists who would think that your idea was correct.
WBS my arse is very progressive I will have you know.
Colm,
If the Provos were Marxist, they’d be suggesting taking a lot more people’s homes away.
Have you read Gerry Adam’s “book”. Property rights basically disappear in a Sinn-Fein-IRA government. Any large businesses get nationalised and the government can take what they want.
Anyway the Provos have been using guns to take lives and steal money for decades. Homes are just a new departure for them.
