Your party fought on the same side as the Luftwaffe in the Spanish Civil War.
80 years ago tonight the great city of Belfast was ruthlessly attacked by the Luftwaffe.
900 civilians were killed on that dark night.
We remember them today and honour their sacrifice by pledging to always work toward a peaceful and prosperous island for all its people.

Irish neutrality is one of the greatest things about our country. We must protect it at all costs. Any move to join a European Army or NATO will lead only to Irish working class kids dying in capitalist wars and our country being targeted by extremist groups.

So many of these fascist creeps in Ireland are just West Brit losers who hate their own country as much as they hate immigrants. Any Irish person who joined the British Army has absolutely no right to call themselves a patriot.

This article has by O'Toole has quite a bit of nonsense in it, but this paragraph is ridiculous. As a member of Sinn Féin - and a former party organiser whose job it was to get people to join the party - I can categorically say that this is an absolute blatant lie.
Fintan O'Toole: Sinn Féin has, in its DNA, what might most benignly be characterised as a deep ambivalence towards the State. That ambiguity means that the State should also recognise a degree of risk in the potential accession to power of such a party.

When accepting the title 'Order or the British Empire', you should state unambiguously that the killing of millions of people by the British Empire was unjustifiable, morally wrong, that you deeply regret it and that it should never have happened.
If Ireland’s Future are serious about Irish unity, the one useful thing they could do is to state unambiguously that the killing by nationalists of over 2000 people - largely Irish- was unjustifiable, morally wrong, that they deeply regret it, that it should never have happened.

The issue with the SDLP isn't just leadership. It's that Irish people in the north want to be represented by a nation-wide party, not a small regional one that doesn't participate in politics in the majority of Ireland. People are thinking bigger than this little 6 county state.

The northern state was set up to prevent the democratic wishes of the Irish people from being realised. It was created with the help of sectarian pogroms and gave rise to an Apartheid regime. The centenary of "NI" is nothing to celebrate.
In the 100 years since its formation, Northern Ireland and its people have enriched our Union beyond measure.
