Fundraising For Good Old Martin
By Charley Brady
Here is a bedroom story for you, boys and girls. Are you sitting comfortably? You are? Good. Then I'll begin.
There once was a monster in Ireland who was responsible in, oh say many ways for killings and knee cappings, but that was all right because he was a freedom fighter.
So it didn't really matter that he was responsible for putting poor souls through years of unrelieved misery as they grieved for their dead, many of whom are missing and whose bodies still lie in unmarked graves.
Later, much much later he decided that he would become a good monster.
He decided that he would become a - wait for it - Good Guy.
Because you see now boys and girls, he had become a grown up. Or pretended to be for his own ends. And on that note we shall return to things as they are in the real world.
I've never tried to hide my loathing of these people, mainly because of disappointment at how badly they have let us down with their grubby murdering and drug-running ways while they pretending to speak in our name.
This, of course, has nothing at all to do with the fact that Martin McGuinness, the Deputy First Minister had the bare-faced cheek and lack of sensitivity to appear at the very moving ceremony for the people who were murdered in Omagh ten years ago this week.
Moving it certainly was; but by God I can see why several of the victims' families chose to stay away.
Seeing the likes of good old Martin having the cheek to lay a wreath at the memorial ceremony was enough to make a man lose his lunch.
I'm used to being the outsider here but for once others were as appalled as I was.
If the man had an ounce of decency in him he would have seen how inappropriate it was for him even to show his face there.
This is the charming character who had the nerve to boast openly just last week of how he could help the situation in Iraq by his intervention.
You could cut the irony, of course. Like the despicable Gerry Adams he is one of the demons in a suit that brought such terror to this country for three decades.
Yes, I know that they are now credited with bringing in the peace process, but for those that saw their loved ones blown to smithereens that is no consolation.
There was much talk of forgiveness and redemption at the ceremony but I'm sorry, I have no such forgiveness in me.
They did what they did. I had to comfort a man living in the village here who was from Omagh itself.
This is a man that I had never thought to see in tears, yet he was crying like a child at the thought that these swine had performed their evil in the name of decent Irishmen and women.
Well, they didn't. They are murderous psychopathic scum that don't represent myself or anyone I know.
Yet there's McGuinness - good old Martin - laying a wreath while at the same time refusing once again to provide any information that could lead to the arrest of the vermin who blew up thirty people on that wretched day for no reason at all.
And thank you America. You have increased the coffers of Sinn Fein/IRA by €250,000 so that they now have an added income as of last year of over a million.
The hilariously titled Friends of Sinn Fein USA are doing wonderful work
For the love of heaven did you learn nothing from the terrorist atrocity on New York?
Please, stop giving money to these unredeemable creeps. I don't give President Bush credit for much but at least he had the vision to impose a ban in March of 2005 against these monsters and their fund-raising.
In the same week that good old Martin was laying his wreath Sinn Fein demonstrated once again that we are the Ireland of a Thousand Welcomes. That is, if you are mass-murdering terrorist slime.
So we welcomed in an international terrorist from the Spanish Basque separatist group ETA and now he lives in cosy splendour in Dublin.
Well, I think that's great except for the fact that I don't believe we should be giving these pigs any kind of welcome except the Royal Order of the Boot.
Jose de Juana has been found guilty of murdering 25 people in 11 separate attacks (that we know of).
The murderer had been given a 3,000 year sentence in 1986 so under the laws of "Alice in Wonderland" he was quite naturally given early release.
There were demonstrations in Madrid Square where he had killed 12 policemen so was of course welcomed by Sinn Fein, who had campaigned for his "immediate release".

He was, ONE DAY after getting out, over here in Ireland.
We're all very proud, needless to say. This is the man who famously said of his victims and their families: "Their tears are our smiles and in the end we will roar with laughter".
He is expected to talk at events organised by Sinn Fein so please keep giving money to them. You are helping a mass-murderer after all.
A lady who lost her brother in one of his attacks, Manuela Lancharro said: "I feel a tremendous pain at his release, a great feeling of futility."
I know how she feels.
