the answer to the question posed to your ard chomairle about sf's position when the dup doesn't give you devolution of policing is that they will do nothing because they can do nothing about it - after last year's election in the south sinn fein's strategy has been toast and that's the way it will remain - byeeee!
lol @ the lemmings. whats the view like from the edge of the cliff chris?? bye now
You mandated them to respond. However, you did not compel them to respond.
It just shows you how unintelligent RUC lovers and Brit lovers like you are.
Do you even know what mandated means?
A mandate is an authoritative order or command, no need to compel them!!
"the power of chris compels you" lol @ exorcist 3
lol, it's more "the power of the Ard Fheis compels you"
Its the mandate that makes true democrats respect the SF position in government, however much their supporters appar to sympathise with those who would (violently) remove them from that position.
I am not old enough to recall it personally, but bombs in the Silent Valley (1969) were (wrongly) attributed to the IRA. It may not have escaped the attention of some people (naming no names) that a similar action would totally destablise the current set-up. If such a thing were to happen, I think an impartial PSNI should be looking to those opposed to the current arrangement and who were in Ulster Resistance.
You got anyone in mind at all, Jo? LOL!!
Either ppl should put up or shut up, Julius! 
I'll continue in the same vein until the Sunday World takes up this issue.
Besides, Chris has hinted that Brussels is an interesting place for MEPs of a former DUP affiliation.
The members listed in the commitee makes for interesting reading !!!
Either ppl should put up or shut up, Julius!
Agreed.
The Committee is a very good book
Nothing will be put on my site which places me at risk to Libel, everyone should keep that in mind!
Should I take that as a threat on my life, Chris? 
Only if you are stupid JG and that is something you are not lol
Anyone know of anyone with a copy of the channel 4 documentary on "The commmitee"
Percy,
Go to www.surfthechannel.com
They have pretty much everything there.
julius I can't find the search function on that site 
On topic, we're all waiting for the DUP, who in turn are putting out feelers to the UUP.
I think they want to destroy the TUV.
Lets never forget Jim Alllister was creating trouble long before the paul quinn murder.
He just hates republicans, our identity criminalises us in his eyes.
He must be stopped alongside other bigoted crazies.

lol yeah I worked it out julius, just been on a stinking hang-over all day.
No sign of that particular documentary though on the comittee.
"The Committee is a very good book"
No it's not infact it's rubbish and an insult to the victims. Collusion with loyalist paramilitaries and the truth about state sponsored murder in the North is too important a topic and the truth so hard to get at that a book like the committee with its huge amount of errors does more harm than good to those trying to forensically put the British authorities to task for direct state sponsored murder and by proxy through loyalist paramilataries.
Be under no mistake their was no "inner force" directing loyalists it was their military and branch handlers. Also some of the victims allegedly killed by loyalists were much more likely to have been taken out by the SAS Bunting and Little immediately spring to mind. And others unfortunately like Martin O Prey were set up by so called comrades and the likes of Eoin Morley were killed by touts.
For Republicans collusion poses us many difficulties. Nothing in the North is as simple as it would first appear collusion comes in many different guises whether it be the Rat pack driving across mid ulster with the help of the RUC or the possibility of "Informants" being shot by British Agents. A friend of mine has become so vexed with this particular issue that he now sees a large part of the republican struggle as being manipulated by the Brits i can only hope he's wrong.
Percy,
I've been nursing a meaty hangover myself all day. Lots of good stuff on that site though. I'm watching Lost now!
oh definately, not a place for Right-Wingers though lol
Think I'll go for Atlantis discovery, something lightweight to space out to
No websites I visit are good places for right-wingers!
To mandate someone can equally mean to authorise them to do something as opposed to order them to do something.
Irrespective of this the point remains that you are a Brit-lover.
"To mandate someone can equally mean to authorise them to do something as opposed to order them to do something."
Not when you consider the motion as a whole.
Now back under your rock troll!
the party laid out clearly it's position when it was brought up in recent public meetings chris.
once again i wonder why you must post this type of thing. can you not make your point known within the party?
or does you blog carry so much weight it will "compell" and "mandate" them to respond??
"the party laid out clearly it's position when it was brought up in recent public meetings chris."
It did no such thing, I asked this very question at Silverbridge and all I got was waffle.
"once again i wonder why you must post this type of thing"
The motion makes clear a public response is needed, such a public response has not yet been forthcoming.
This is an Ard Fheis endorsed motion.
"can you not make your point known within the party?"
I have and will.
"or does you blog carry so much weight it will "compell" and "mandate" them to respond??"
Don't be so silly.
Balrog is here for my thoughts and opinions, not to compel or mandate anyone.
When you are honest enough to post under your own name you can come back to me.
What is wrong with publically asking the party you support to respond publically?
If Chris made excuses for his party and tried to provide a smoke screen for their policies then he would be the party stooge so many bitter unioists accuse him of being. instead he acts and posts with dignity and thoughtfulness.
Now start accusing me of being an ass kisser but if you check the archives you will see I differ on him on many issues but despite the dissent and clearly opposing views he has never erased a post or edited one because he disagreed with the content as long as it was not libelous.
Too bad a few more sites didn't follow this commenting policy
Sean
I have to agree with Sean re chris and balrog's policy of non editing . I have disagreed with chris on numerous issues but balrog has always posted word for word my responses. He can dish it out but he can take it aswell and I suppose that's one of the reasons for the site's success. He still drives me fuckin crazy sometimes !!!!!!
Have to agree with that.
He can be a pain in the arse,but he's hardly a stooge.
Meant in the best possible way, Chris
