GELDOF TELLS GOD & ORANGE ORDER DISSIDENTS TO PHUK OFF





Loyalist Belfast Telegraph;

"Give it a f***ing rest and grow up!" -- that's the message from West Brit, Bob Geldof to peace process critics and dissidents in Northern Ireland.

The ever-colourful and controversial rock singer turned Third World and environmental campaigner is back inBelfast this week.
His band The Boomtown Rats has reformed for a 17-date British Isles tour which kicked off in Dublin last weekend and they hit the Ulster Hall on Friday.
And Bob -- who sang his way to the top of the UK charts with Rat Trap and I Don't Like Mondays -- has castigated those in Northern Irelandwho are "harping on about the past".
Asked if he takes a continuing interest in Northern Ireland affairs, Bob said "of course".
"If you talk to me about the difference between the time when the Rats first showed up in the north in 1979 and when we show up this week, it is a world away.
"For those who keep harping on about the past and those tired old mythologies -- give it a f***ing rest and grow up like the rest of the place seems to have done.
"The peace agreement was one of the greatest moments of my life. I actually have a framed copy of the signed thing by everyone."
Bob has fond memories of Belfast as the city played host to the Rats when they were banned by their home city of Dublin -- where they were labelled as "licentious festering reprobates".
"The gigs in Belfast were heroic. It was just a fantastic crowd.
"I remember talking to Phil Lynott about it and we both agreed that given the choice of gigs, it was Belfast for us. And we are playing the Ulster Hall again. I just hope they have improved the bloody sound this time!"
* Tickets for The Boomtown Rats at the Ulster Hall are £30 -- from Ticketmaster outlets.
* You can read more about Bob Geldof becoming the first Irishman in space, why he will never write another autobiography and why he believes the world could end by 2030 in next week's Sunday Life.

BRITISH CULTURAL PARODY OF ASSTEEM









They are all twats.

Moon-faced public schoolboys who still  believe

 in all the old shite that their privilged class 

have for ever. The only difference between 

Cameron and orangemen is that he has been

 told he’s not actually allowed to say nasty 

bigoted objectionable things as they; so he says

 fluffy crap that means nothing, still screwing

both countries though, oh sorry – that’s  the 

labour parties in both, i forgot, or (this bit

unavailable due to cuts – please make up your

 own incredible excuse here)

  • This activity is in every sense non-republican and counter revolutionary. Republicans of all hues need to stick together, as much as is possible in the same sense as the Labour party has many different shades of red and other more radical parties within its ranks. British sinn fein are where they are now, as a direct result of the ultimate sacrifices and hard work of previous generations of traditional Irish republicans most of whom were interned like Stephen at one time or another. Stephen comes from a traditional Irish republican family with a noble history so does Conor Murphy, this simply makes no sense what so ever!

    This divisive activity is playing into the Brits hands. Stephen Murney is a victim of British neo-colonial repression in Ireland. The Unionists may have serious divisions among themselves but at the end of the day they know when to keep their powder dry and will always stick together that is why they are able to dominate. A delegation on behalf of Stephen Murney needs to visit Conor Murphy's clinic and discuss this with him and take notes with a view to as much unity as is possible.

    At the end of the day we are all Irish and claim to be republican.The British have worked night and day fro 800 years to divide us and have us at each other's throats. Ii is time to be smarter, put our ego's to one side and look for the common ground we have without surrendering long term principles.Those who engage in this activity need to remember, the street is always watching and does not forget!

    Is mise le meas,

    Ireland Faces 20 years of “No Growth,” George W Bush Economic Adviser


    George W Bush economic adviser Dr Pippa Malmgren, speaking in Dublin yesterday, said Ireland faces 20 years of “no growth,” because of the European Central Bank She was speaking at a Davy Stockbroker conference in Dublin, saying Ireland should leave the euro and devalue the punt. Of course Irish politicians on the Euro gravy train will disagree.

    She said Ireland could deal with its debts, without inflating them away: “But you have to accept 20 years of no growth. That’s the only other option. It’s what European policymakers expect Ireland to do. The question is, do the Irish people have the tolerance to take that much pain?”

    She said, “Germany doesn’t want inflation. Everybody else needs it, that’s the heart of the problem,” warning inflation cannot be controlled once it spirals. She said thar Cyrpus, will exit the euro zone: “If a country can leave and devalue, it raises the question for Ireland - what is the cost of staying in?”

    Iceland's economy which had very similar problems with Ireland is doing very well with. Inflation at 3%, unemployment 5%, and a balanced government budget. Their currency is stable and the ireconomy grew 1.6% last year. Their government dealt very firmly with foreign creditors and did not bail out its banks. Icelandic creditors and their welfare system have been protected. Hwoever their government was voted out.

    Their voters voted for the same centre-right parties responsible for the pre-crisis boom. These parties, heavily subsidized by the international bankers, who were told to go to hell with their debt, voted as a result of mainstream corporate media disinformation, for the parties who wanted to pay the foreign debtors.Nevertheless the parties of the current government programme:
    Implements pro-growth policies.

    Firmly oppose EU membership.

    Take a firm line against foreign creditors.

    With the betrayal of the Irish people of no property, once again by Labour ministers and Union Leadership on the Euro career, gravy train, we can expect the re-election of a Fianna Fail Sinn Fein American form of 'Republicanism' or tea Party if the banks have their usual way. "Give me control of a nation's money and I care not who makes it's laws"  Mayer Amschel Bauer Rothschild
