what happened?
|
|
By:
Simply put they want the President of Ireland to take part in the 'celebration' centenary of the partition of Ireland. Micheal D is too busy cutting his toenails or something.
|
|
By:
i agree partition has been a disaster but can't see any benefit to boycotting this, will just be used by unionists to say south doesn't accept Northern Ireland etc.
|

By:
You are colluding with partition if you attend Joe,On top of that the dup have cut relations politically with the South, blank the thing is correct.
|

Approved discrimination , thru gov propaganda . Coercion , the shame |

will Higgins skipping this help or hinder the united ireland cause?
|
|
By:
Shouldn’t have been invited
|
|
By:
Well done Michael Higgins
 |
|
By:
no one from the south of Ireland should have been invited , imho
|
|
By:
thot the dup would've been busy preparing for the 10k anniversary of the creation.

He likes James Joyce

Seems a perfectly acceptable move to me though on the issue of a united Ireland that must be decades off...you only have to see the marching season in the North to see how far away that is regardless of your politics...

By:
Higgins is a left wing radical by the way
would have Ireland taking a million Afghan refugees if it was up to him |
|
By:
Play the ball Joe,not the man,You csn't have the Irish President 'celebrating' the breaking up of the Island of Ireland.Jeffrey trying to make political capital out of it is the funny point,how desperate.
Good post Brentford. |

By:
Can’t really blame him for not going in fairness , it’s not as if he thinks it’s a good thing lol
lot of nonsense . |

By:
Was Ireland ever 'united', other than 1605-1922 ?
|
|
By:
No , in fact you will find it was the English who were the first people in Ireland
|
|
By:
A bit like blaming Britain for partitioning India, with their having never united it themselves to begin with.
|
|
By:
I don't think the English were the first people there. The English were pretty late arrivals to England, never mind Ireland.
|
|
By:
Best thing that ever happened to the Indian people was England going there - well that was the case everywhere in the world
|
|
By:
The Queen cannot make it either though to be fair there was good racing at Ascot last weekend.
|

By:
Only a bigot would congratulate him.

By:
Akabula bulling, never mind,She may make Glasgow. You can have Mr Coveney instead
 |
|
By:
will be interesting when they try to list the successes and benefits of partition to NI
|
|
By:
NI protestants really think southerners want to kill them
|

Nice fella, spoke to him for some time at the Glorney Cup a few years ago.
|
|
By:
he's a left wing idiot
|
|
By:
He has used his time in office to address issues concerning justice, social equality, social inclusion, anti-sectarianism, anti-racism, and reconciliation.

Polly fantasising yet again.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_D._Higgins
In November 2016, Higgins received criticism from some sections of the Irish media for praising Fidel Castro, saying in a statement that he learned of Castro's death with "great sadness".[89] |
|
By:
maybe that's why Polly likes him
|
|
By:
he's a left wing idiot
you think everyone that isn't right wing fits that though G... who'd have thought prioritising anti-sectarianism and reconciliation might be important... |

. That was a really nice venue. |
|
By:
someone who is anti unionist and anti British shouldn’t be invited , imho
|
|
By:
wants to fight sectarianism yet doesnt go to this
 also he's a great friend of refugees and migrants, would have the country full of them if it was up to him |
|
By:
who does he want to reconcile with if not unionists?
far more interested in fighting "racism" |
|
By:
can't go to this realistically surely G ? endorsing a fundamentally though probably necessary status quo based on a mixture of failures and necessities of the prevailing world of those eras...attendance is controversial at best..
