So much for Labour's pledge to cut energy bills by £300, says David Turver. Under GB Energy, our bills can only go one way, and that is up.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6Mr Ahern talks about the memory of 1916 being sullied by the IRA who were fighting for the legitimate right of the irish people to be free from British rule, unlike the IDF who marched yesterday.
But my question to all those who cheered on the IDF and the "one state, one army" proclaimers...
when did the heroes and heroines 1916 openly collude with the british security forces in trying to suppress and intimidate irish republicans.
When will Mr Ahern open up the files on collusion between the garda and the crown forces, which saw Sinn Fein and other republican organisations being censored in the 26 counties, while their comrades in the six counties were being assasinated by the british security forces.
While the leaders of 1916 were awaiting execution did they hope that 90 years on their "inheritors" would be in collusion with the biggest killing machine this planet has ever seen: the USA and suppressing republicans..or honouring those men and women who sacrificed their lives for our freedom in the IRA and INLA.
How dare anyone connect our army with fascism. An outrageous insult to those who served courageously as UN peacekeepers in the Congo, Kosovo, Lebannon and elsewhere. The real fascists are those who slaughtered over 1,000 Northerners - mostly Protestants but also many Catholics. It is truly a sick joke for members of the Provisional movement to preach against "racism" given their ruthless slaughter of many hundreds of innocent civilians on the grounds of their religion or national identity in the North and Britain. They of all people have no right to patronise us on these things. Were the 120,000 people who turned out to watch the parade fascists too?
The so-called 'Republicans' i.e. the PIRA/RIRA/CIRA/INLA/OIRA in the North have actually pushed a United Ireland even further away that it was already. They have destroyed the dreams of the Irish people - myself included - for a United Ireland in the medium term by the hateful and bigoted environment that is the legacy of theirs and the Loyalist terrorists violence against innocent civilians. They have made innocent people - including Nationalists - pay with their lives for their deluded fantasy of bombing the North into a United Ireland. In the planning leading up to 1916, we know that James Connolly specifically ordered that no military actions should take place in Ulster because of the history of sectarian conflict there. The men and women of 1916 did not target innocent civilians - unlike the Provo-fascists.
How dare anyone connect our army with fascism.
I agree completely. The army should not be exploited by parading them in support of a taoiseach (or any other government functionary) while his minister for justice craps on about One Army, One State, One Fuhrer.
It's a disgrace that the army were (ab)used in this way. Their job is not to provide the trappings of a 3rd world junta to the government. They are not for the entertainment of the public.
Their presence during this highly dubious commemoration ceremony was always tasteless and the ill-conceved remarks of Herr McDowell have copperfastened that ignominious position.
Shame.
The Irish Defence Forces who follow the orders of the elected members of the Dail who act with the authority of the Constitution with the democratic will of the Irish people.
Anyone who denies that fact is a traitor and an enemy of Ireland
The Irish Defence Forces who follow the orders of the elected members of the 26 county Governing assembly act with the authority of the illegal unelected Constitution of the 26 county British accepted state,and Against the Proclamation and Independence of our 32 county Irish Republic with the democratic will and support of the Irish people The last time we had an All Ireland Election,
Anyone who denies that fact is a traitor and an enemy of Éire, God Save Ireland Cried the Hero's Not God Save the threat of signing for Britains 26 Collins may have been duped but the True Gael have not Up the Republic
P.s. How Much Money did these toons get paid for commerating the men that the've been resposible for killing in there prison cells and in collusion with Britain - the Fools The Fools The Fools
