FENIAN BARSTWARDS



BNP Leader tweets about ‘fenian bastards’ following Covenant Day attendance


Sat 29 September 2012, 10:09pm


BNP Leader and MEP, Nick Griffin, was in attendance for the Covenant Day celebrations at Stormont today. His attendance would appear to be a rather logical development for a supremacist or an embarrassing distraction (take your pick, though the Orange Order did release a statement through the day seeking to put distance between themselves and the BNP Leader.)
Alas, he did appear to get in the spirit exhibited by many of the bandsmen whenproducing this tweet tonight:
So Ulster pics have upset my Republican stalkers. Tell you what, the bodhran can’t match the lambeg, you fenian bastards.
In other news, the day passed off peacefully with no altercations reported at the various flashpoint interfaces. Multiple bands decided to breach the Parades Commission determination regarding the playing of hymns outside St Matthew’s Catholic Church in east Belfast, playing The Sash to the cheers of locals (who The Newsletter claims booed those bands which did decide to adhere to the Commission’s rulings.)
Another intriguing observation was made by the Andersonstown News columnist, Squinter, who attended the day’s events at Stormont and who took pictures of UVF and UDA CDs for sale in the grounds of the Stormont estate, including The Famine Song (which kinda neatly ties together this summer’s Marching Story…)

    I’m not sure why so many of our nat/rep chums are getting their knickers in such a twist ?
    Is it because the parade passed off peacefully ?
    ‘irish nationalism is simply about reunification of the country’…………ayee well,that’s one way of describing nearly 2,000 murders.

    “British nationalism is about the purity of the race, the supremacy sometimes. Irish nationalism is simply about the reunification of the country, hence why the SDLP had a Polish girl standing a couple of years ago.”
    In other words our nationalism is not about supremacy and is therefore superior to yours.

  6. It does have some bearing as Griffin coined it for Republicans who had been on twitter needling him, rather than for every catholic which would broaden the abuse out on religious grounds despite it being solely on the political.

    Poor DC. That’s akin to using the “N” word as a term of abuse and then immediately qualifying it by blabbering “..but I only mean SOME black people”.
    Interesting to see so many people make excuses for a man like Nick Griffin though.

    What’s confusing is that those who support Irish fascists who murdered people because of their religion are complaining about an uninvited British fascist turning up at a public event among a crowd of hundreds of thousands of people.

    I’m a Catholic born to an Irish mother.
    Not only am I a proud member of the BNP, I’m also a proud member of Nick Griffin’s staff … and it appears I’m not the only one who is not only of Irish ancestry and Catholic but also in gainful employment thanks to Nick, so I can’t see how anyone is going to prove that he hates Irish Catholics over a twitter bun fight.
    All the best,
    Chris Barnett.

    Which is more fascist, calling a group of people attacking you with words on a public forum “fenian b****rds” or wanting a man to be taken from his home and imprisoned by agents of the state for calling some other people who he doesn’t know “fenian b****rds” over an electronic communication device?
    Which of the two more calls to mind the Gestapo, the Stasi, Nineteen Eighty-Four or Brave New World?
    I don’t know about the other 364 days of the year but on Saturday Nichola Mallon was more of a fascist than Nick Griffin. Simple as.

    Unfortunately his reputation as a gutter ” rent a quote ” ensures his name the the poison he spouts will always attract some attention and sell a few papers .
    Threatening to march / protest / picket an eldery couple’s home the way he has only cements people’s view of him as nothing more than a lowlife coward ……

    You’re right to call him out on that Jimmy, because clearly there is no difference at all between the BNP and the SDLP. One is as bad as the other.

    You see. Now, you were laughably whinging recently about people hijacking a thread and going off topic. A thread which you had hijacked and dragged off topic.
    And here you are, laughably yet again, trolling, dragging a post off topic. Does this thread have something to do with Nick Griffin? Yes. Does it refer to Griffin’s mutual attendance at a parade with that of Nelson McC? Yes, it does.
    So ANW’s post is entirely on topic. Yours however is not. Fuck all to do with SF, Breivik, Mugabe or Savile. Everything to do with Griffin (subject of title) and McC (proponent of social disobedience re: parades on Clifton St.)
    Now as you whinged like a baby on that other thread, may I request (tongue firmly in cheek unlike your good self) Chris he should get a yellow, Chris he’s being off topic, Chris he’s a troll! LOL. Only difference being I didn’t troll this thread and shut down debate on the site for the best part of a day.
    I don’t like to mark my own card on here. I don’t seek out cards as it were. In this case I’ll make an exception. You are the most pathetic, transparent troll I’ve ever encountered on any site ever, and I will never again waste a pixel on ‘debating’ with your pathetic, closed UVF supporting mind. So feel free to not reply as I won’t be, to you.

    The subject of his ridiculous statement might make it ‘on topic’.
    I was merely highlighting the absurdity of comparing Nick Griffin with Nelson McCausland by comparing Sinn Fein/IRA with religiously-motivated murderers, genocide organisers and predatory child rapists (of which some in the SF ranks undoubtedly are/were).
    As andnowwhat is a self-confessed Provisional IRA supporter (though perhaps this was another of his lies), I felt this comparison would be best to make him realise how ludicrous his original claim was.
    Hopefully he will wise up in future.

    Never in my puff have I ever said that I support or supported the IRA.i don’t even have time for Sinn Fein.
    The connections between Nelson and Nick are a fair few, including an ignorance of the issue of sexuality and delusions nationality ( Nelson and the lost tribe of Israel crap and Nick believing in a British purity that never existed).
    Why did both post the addresses of people they had issues with? Both must be fully aware that such actions could easily have invited violence upon their targets and I’m sure, would have denied all responsibility should anything have happened, a la Nelson’s blog prior to the recent problems in North Belfast.

    .
    If they killed catholics only ‘because of their religion’ (and not because they were retaliating for IRA sectarian attacks on protestant civilians) then surely they would still be killing them today? When was the last time these bloodthirsty catholic-haters actually killed a catholic again?? Nearly 20 years ago, was it??
    Even worse is their dabbling in death-drugs, and the scourge of crime that they have spread across East Belfast and beyond.
    .
    You keep making this ludicrous claim and have continually been unable to provide evidence to back it up. Where are all the news reports confirming senior UVF personnel have been convicted of involvement in drugs??
    The UVF are nothing more than sectarian serial killers, who peddle drugs to our young people. They have destroyed a generation with their criminality. They’re the scum of the Earth – scum of the Earth.
    .
    And the same guy has regularly declared his unwavering support for the Provisional IRA – who killed more civilians in religiously-motivated attacks than any other group, robbed banks, smuggled diesel, imported ton after ton of pure cocaine from their Colombian narco-terrorist friends, raped young pre-pubescent children, engaged in widespread ethnic cleansing, bombed protestant churches, executed protestant church ministers and opened fire on protestants praying in isolated religious buildings in catholic areas.

    DBB asked “When was the last time these bloodthirsty catholic-haters actually killed a catholic again?? Nearly 20 years ago, was it?? “
    Agree about not feeding the troll but that question deserves an answer. It takes us back to 1992 –
    Here some more recent Loyalist killings that a quick trawl of the BBC and BelTel websites provided:
    March 1997: Rev David Templeton, Presbyterian minister, died two months after being attacked in his North Belfast home by a UVF gang.
    May 1997: 22-year-old ex-RAF radio operator Raymond McCord was beaten to death in a Newtownabbey quarry.
    July 1998: Three Quinn Brothers – Richard (11), Mark (9) and Jason (7) were murdered outside Ballymoney
    December 2000: 30-year-old Gary Moore was murdered in Monkstown
    July 2001: 19-year-old Catholic Ciaran Cummings was shot dead by members of the UVF
    July 2001: Gavin Brett, 18, was murdered by loyalist gunmen in Glengormley, Co Antrim. His companion, Michael Farrell, 18, was seriously injured
    January 2002. 20-year-old Catholic postman Danny McColgan was murdered by loyalist paramilitaries as he arrived for work in Rathcoole
    July 2002 Catholic teenager Gerard Lawlor was shot dead by the UFF as he walked home from a pub on the Antrim Road
    August 2005: .Schoolboy Thomas Devlin was murdered in an unprovoked attack about 200 metres from his home
    May 2006: 15 year old Michael McIlveen a Catholic was murdered in Ballymena
    May 2009: 49 year old Kevin McDaid was murdered near his home in Coleraine,
    His friend Damien Fleming was badly wounded in the same attack.
    There are the best known victims.

    If nothing else, one would have thought that Bleach would have remembered Tomas Devlin’s murder. Every other that Anne has addressed are as notable except that Thomas’ was so notable in the quietness of time, relatively.
    That said, Gavin Brett’s murder also touched us all so deeply, probably because of all the issues involved.

    Anne, some of those murders are UDA-linked, not UVF which is what the discussion above centres around.
    The IRA’s war was not sectarian per se but leaving bombs in open places to explode did kill innocent civilians mostly protestant which the Provos must have known would happen.
    That i believe is called collateral, whereas a killing spree in a bookies etc is a sectarian murder gang operation. Both had the same outcomes, the Ra’s was a tad more sophisticated and clever in that in propaganda terms it was less damaging to the Republican cause, as any such deaths could be called a tragedy etc as a by-product of the bomb ‘gone wrong’. People in wrong place wrong time, yeah yeah. You catch my drift?

    no one other than bleach is saying they support paramilitaries. Only he is suggesting that the good ole boys of the UVF defended their community, repelled the IRA and were categorically not involved in drug dealing. Any criticism of the UVF in specific on this thread is based around his stated support for that organisation. It would appear they have killed Catholics more recently than 20 years hence.

    Anton said “some of those murders are UDA-linked, not UVF which is what the discussion above centres around”
    Here’s the latest info indicating the UVF were engaged in sectarian and non-sectarian murder until at least 2010
    “The police ombudsman in Northern Ireland has launched an investigation into allegations of collusion between the police and senior members of the UVF in the Shankill Road area of Belfast.
    It has been claimed for a number of years that senior figures within the organisation have been immune from prosecution because they were police informers.
    In a statement to the BBC, the ombudsman confirmed he is examining allegations that police failed to properly investigate a series of fatal shootings in north and west Belfast between 1989 and 2010.

    Its called collateral as well by those RUC officers who armed those loyalist paramilitaries who murdered those people in the bookies. But here we are arguing about how sectarian those who carried them out are, why is there no public outcry why police officers were never charged with supplying loyalist paramilitaries with weapons and aiding in the murder of innocent people.
    An investigation into alleged collusion between police and senior members of the Ulster Volunteer Force has been launched by the Police Ombudsman.
    When are we going to see police officers being brought to justice who have armed and allowed paramilitaries to murder at will being brought to justice.

    Why should they be brought to justice? Isn’t this just the continuation of the state sponsored ‘peace process’, potentially the PSNI are pulling the strings but who is to say that this isn’t being done as an attempt to wind down trouble, with the occasional backfire here and there.
    Anyway, who used to write Adams’ conference speeches too? The Brits.
    It was largely a Brit sponsored peace process movement, just apply media to the bad guys and make them look good, the odd speech being written up here and there goes a long way too, so too brain power, money and man power from all quarters and continents (USA?), all this aids and assists conflict transformation.
    Conflict transformation is what is going on here.

    So, once again we are all in agreement that these ‘vile, anti-catholic, bloodthirsty UVF murderers’ haven’t actually killed any catholics in almost 20 years.
    Anne warren merely mentioned a few UDA killings and a couple of random sectarian attacks which had nothing to do with the UVF.
    Interestingly though, Irish Nationalist terrorists have killed far more catholic civilians in the past 18 years than all Loyalist groups COMBINED.
