Red Pol,

Your bizarre post confirms for me the accusation made earlier in another message that the IRSP have indeed become reactionaries.

Events are turned on their head: and a few more allegations about "leg-breaking" thrown in for good measure; SF transfers get UDA spokesmen elected; SF transfers to SDLP prevent former INLA hero getting elected; and a claim that the number of spoiled ballot papers does indeed confirm the correctness of the IRSP/RSF/32CSM approach to the election.

As usual absolutely NO EVIDENCE is provided by the IRSP member/supporter who makes these allegations. The allegations about transferred votes for either the UDP or SDLP from SF voters cannot be substantiated... How the fuck would the Irps know this to be a true picture of the election?

Incidentally, I take your allegation that there were 'threats' made against John Nixon with a pinch of salt. I assume that you are inferring that the Provies made the threats? Mr Nixon stood in the election and I presume that his legs are still in full working order? Enough said, I think.

The electoral success of Sinn Fein must be a fucking mirage, or is it all really a secret plot to strengthen the hand of unionism?!?The "Greening of the West": Four MP's and 108 local councillors... and the Irps still try to claim some kind of moral 'victory' because there was an increase in the number of spoiled ballot papers!?!

If spoiled ballot papers are indeed a reflection of support for the IRSP/RSF/32CSM anti-SF carping campaign then why don't you print the numbers of spoiled votes here and let everyone compare support for the "dissidents" with that of Sinn Fein?

You're having a fucking laugh, surely?!?
