Young republicans from the Lurgan area engaged with local students today the 22nd May, in remembrance of the 1981 Hunger Strike. A leaflet drop at a local high school saw hundreds of students given information leaflets about the Hunger Strike and details about the developing Ógra group in the area. Speaking for the developing Ógra group Fergal Connolly said, “we decided on today for this action in remembrance, and to coincide, with the anniversaries of Ray McCreesh and Patsy O’Hara.” |

patsy died for the likes of you nominating paisley to be your leader in yhe next stormont? did he?
If Gerry Adams had not nominated Ian Paisley, people would say that it was Sinn Féin who were refusing to work with unionists.
Nothing will ever be good enough for some people.
Whatever you do you can't win.
Fair play to those activists in Lurgan who are playing their role in the continuation of the struggle.
What struggle? The struggle since 1994 has been to gain the acceptance of Paisley and sit at his right hand in a Parliament we could have got in the 1970s. As for the other IRAs they should go home to their families because if the Brits were able to infiltrate the PIRA so high up then they must know what you're having for breakfast as you seem to have more touts than a dog has fleas. No more young people should waste their lives for a cause that has been so often betrayed in the past.
Well done to the activists for commemorating those brave hunger strikers and our patriot dead, ach, they can't claim they are continuing on the same struggle. The hunger strikers did not starve themselves to death to administer British imperialism in the form of Stormont and to nominate a lunatic as 1st Minister (such an embarrassing spectacle Paisley is, particularly, when your in the company of foreigners and their asking me who that mad Irish man is on the tv) - yes your, cinnte, on the road to no where with him!). These are strange times indeed.
Ah! Tá mo chroí bríste!!
Slán anois!
And did you explain to your friend in your best Irish accent that the "mad Irish man" does not think he is Irish at all and that his madness is confirmed by the fact that he refuses the offer to lead his so-called ‘country’ because he must do so in partnership with untermenschen who he considers are lead by the Devil’s representative in Earth.
And when you did all that, as I assume you did, did it help your foreign friends to understand the crazy sectarian state set up by Britain in the North of Ireland? Or do you want Paisley to be our little secret on our little island.
Good man yourself.
It's a great wonder surely, that anyone would be thinking now of going into partnership with the Paisley fellow, him being a great big blundering fool of a man with not an ounce of sense coming out of his mouth from one minute to the next.
And a great misfortune to the island that such a man is here and permitted to be marching about the place giving his sermons of mass destruction.
And to be sure I explained all to my foreign friends who find it hard to believe that such a man could have ever got elected in the first place.
Bíodh ciall agat, le do thoil!
Slán anois!
