Continuity IRA fires shots at Easter commemoration this year

[dylanredefined]

why are Irish Republicans so keen to be seen wearing British uniforms?

will they be moving over to MTP soon, and can we expect a re-run of the up/down-in/out fiasco? will the several Army Councils follow the lead of the CGS and sent out a 'i don't fucking care, just fucking grow up!' tweet?

I think we should be told...

All the cool kids wear Multicam now. Including the Russians &Americans which has got to make things awkward in Syria.

There is a terrorist with a gun who hates me.
I am upset more by the state of his uniform than anything else. I know the Smocks are a pain to Iron the trousers look like they come straight out of the bag
I have become what I hate

this is the contos, not the newbies.

also, i've no problem with physical force republicanism. it's ebbed and flowed since 1798, sometimes with greater results than others. but the use of violence is a tactic, tactics are supposed to further strategic aims, and i don't see how in the current circumstances the use of firearms can be justified. it's not like the auld days

when the 'ra had proper weapons, a proper structure and indeed popular legitimacy. at the moment people embarking on an armed campaign are, as i've said on the other thread, effectively retarding republican (political) forces outside sinn fein. the only reason to take up arms would be to secure a political advance, such as a british decision to withdraw from the six counties, and i can't see how this campaign furthers that. tl;dr? there's a time and place for violence and this isn't it.

The fella carrying the grenade passed away a while back. A very experienced engineer.

The current campaign has zero legitimacy, the tired old reference to 'taking our legitimacy from the First Dail' is so jaded and abused as to be meaningless and to use it as some defence of the killing of Lyra McKee was and is quite frankly cretinous politics. Whether or not folk agreed with the OIRA then PIRA (plus INLA) campaign it did have a genuine and popular legitimacy amongst the catholic working-class. It is however, not the future of struggle imho.

Not a good look. Great big "soldier" with a teeny weenie gun. Looks like the kinda gun James Bond would hide in his sock, not brandish on parade for publicity pictures.

yeh it's a more abject admission of weakness than a portrayal of strength

He's a charmer this Flying Colon

I guess my views are right wing for liberal Brits. Shoot drug dealing scum, limit/restrict abortions, adopt propaganda laws similar to Russia to combat smut forced on our children and introduce penal camps.

I thought me dad was bad but this dude tops that grumpy old feck

With views like that, and the shit he has recently been posting, I am wondering why he's still here, perhaps with a total of just 55 posts since 2016, he's been under the mod's radar.

Personally I would be happy to see him 'offed' from here.

The views do align somewhat.

Less "republican socialist" and more a "republican fascist" doncha think?

Not quite provo rap but Irish language hip hop is a thing now. Saw these guys in Belfast a couple of months ago and there was a good bit of "tiocfaidh ar la" chanting going on.

You can't merge the Continuity IRA thread with the New IRA thread there'd be murder

It’s like Coca Cola. First you had Coca Cola, then New Coca Cola (which didn’t go down well), so then you got Coca Cola Classic. And then fringe off shoots like Cherry Coca Cola (which is actually quite nice). Diet coke’s shite though.
