I’m a political ex-activist but due to ill health have not been active since 1998. I support Celtic Football Club, the best club in the world. I support them despite the PLC and I hate John Reid. These new age football fans who never went to games in the pissing rain on a Wednesday night before the “soccer boom” will not stay around forever. All ticket matches at venues that are not even half full are killing football and taking it away from the working class community who sustained it during the hard times. Indeed Celtic PLC has abandoned any pretence of representing the working class people decades ago. Season tickets deprive the most deprived people of the opportunity to watch their favourite club, be it Celtic or Scotland’s Shame FC.
But despite all this, I still support Celtic.
My political views are internationalist socialist and republican. I support Sinn Féin in Ireland but have no illusions about them. I do however believe that they provide the the only viable route to solving the national question and their politics are progressive enough to warrant my support.
In Scotland their is no political party that adequately represent my views. However, the SNP and the SSP, before tommygate, shared my support. Solidarity (the party) is nothing more than a tommycult. Currently my support goes to the SNP.
I care deeply about world events and am strongly against the neo-imperialism of USA and it’s British lap poodle. The USA’s actions in Latin America is nothing short of disgusting and it is shameful that most Americans are blissfully unaware of the what their Government has been doing in their name. The inevitable recession that the US will drag us all into still won’t wake them up to their folly.
Apart from that, I’m an average guy whio respects his fellow human beings no matter their race, creed, sex, sexual orientation or even political views. I’m no pacifist not by any manner of means. I believe the revolution is like a fruit on a tree. It’s no use just standing and waiting on it to fall into your hands. Sometimes you need to give the tree a shake.

Support of a group of child murderers is wrong no matter how much you tart it up.
Your day has come.

So you don’t support the British Army or the US Army or any other army for that matter? A Pacifist? Fair enough.

Solidarity Comrade,
From the midwest USA, What are your thoughts on the CIRA and RIRA?
October 31, 2009 at 9:41 pm
I believe that the armed campaign is over. Anti GFA republicans such as RIRA and CIRA fail to offer any viable alternative to the GFA. Even INLA has admitted now that the armed campaign is over – A decision that has gladdened me because I have a great deal of respect for the IRSM.
Whilst it is important to have voices of dissent, I believe it should be constructive. That’s not to say that SF hasn’t indulged in similar mudslinging. Politics can be a dirty game sometimes. It’s a shame because the republican cause is fundamentally right but reunion with the rest of Ireland will not solve the island’s problems. The business class will still rule us. What’s the point in replacing Stormant with Leinster House if they will still shit on the working class all the same? The only difference is that it will be Irishmen with a different accent who will be shitting on the working class communities of Derry, West Belfast and North Ballymena.
