Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6If that photo is the delegation, what happened to OSfs commitment to equality for women. I only see 4 women here out of 20 on this particular junket (perhaps the others are out back making the tea?).
That's four out of eighteen actually. But give them credit, being good gentlemen most of them stood to allow the women to sit down.
The women are sitting down and at the front to give them prominence in the photo - either to make it look like there are more women there than it might otherwise look - or being less cynical - to promote female participation in Ogra Sinn Féin.
Either way its not OSF's fault that there are less women involved than men - OSF unlike Sinn Féin is actually pro choice not against a woman's right to choose like the Senior Party is.
In corporate group photos there is often a deliberate strategy of putting the more attractive and intelligent looking people at the front whilst keeping those less blessed in the background. Maybe this was the thinking behind this pose, even if subconscious.
I wonder will Johnny Mc Gibbon and his friends on the Ogra junket be telling the Basque youth that it's time "they moved on" and accept Spanish rule their Police and courts?
I don't support the Dissident Republicans but aren't they deemed terrorists and aren't they in jail, so whats the difference between them and the Basques?
Finally and most importantly when are Orga and their leadership in $F going to show solidarity and support for the people of areas in their own country plagued by drug dealers and other such scum in areas such as Ballymurphy and Gallagh in Derry to name but two?
I wonder do the Basques realise that Sinn fein have sold out and are now cooperating with the Brits and Unionists eagerly promoting the propaganda that those Republicans still struggling for an Irish Republic are terrorists and criminals. Maybe Real Republicans should go over and put them right.
