This weekend.

In the flesh.

Swoon-inducing beefcake media analyst Dr Julien Mercille joins a host of fellow academics and politicos for the Sinn Féin Summer School in Ballyvourney, Co Cork.

Tart.

      But broadsheet publishing them doesn’t.

      Shinners pulling the strings at Broadsheet then?

    Does Julien Mercille have a stake in BS? If he does, it makes a bit of sense. If not then its getting a bit weird and creepy

      Agreed. What is all this SF nonsense? I come here to escape from those morons and their ilk.

        You’ll kneel to their alter of greatness when they are in government after the next general election.

      It’s really very simple.

      Julien’s a WET ting and everybody likes when pretty people post stuff ’cause we all get to see a picture of the little French ridebag.

    Apart from a transplant surgeon, the bulk of those seem to be people who live in a writing/lecturing/theorizing bubble. Authors, academics, journalists, campaigner, artist, activist. I’m sure they all know about their fields, and I get that summer schools are perfect for people like these, but I’d have much more time for the idea and respect for what they preach if they had panels made up of people from the real world. Not just entrepreneurs, but people who better reflect what most of us do every day.

    Hmm, all in English and the one bit of Irish on the poster spelled wrong. Was it for this etc. blah blah.

        Not me point, ahj. SF hypocrisy is what I’m scowlin’ about. What I’m saying is that the Shinners claim to support the Irish language but are very poor at practically supporting it, which they could have done here by providing one event out of fourteen in our minority language for scowly minority language speakers like yours truly (as if that would shut us up, right?). Even when they do use it they make a hames of it.

      If I lose my job for bursting out laughing at your comment, it’ll be worth it.

        *Tips hat brim* I was originally going to use the term ‘murderer’s row’ but quickly realised it might not be the most apropos. I mean to say I like visiting beaches, but I don’t want my bones to be JCB-ed out of one in thirty years’ time.

          1. oui

            Was feeling sorry for Mercille and his utter stupidity , but seeing that he is a fan of SF, well all compassion goes out the window.

    Sinn Fein and Owen Jones? I can already hear Ruth Dudley frantically mashing the keys in anticipation.

    Looks like hell on earth. And the French dude Broadsheet are psycho-stalking is no longer cool, associating himself with the Shinners/IRA.

  6. Mr. T.

    All the Shinner haters out today.

    I see now why there’s so many people who ONLY post comments on Mercille’s posts. All Young Fine Gaelers doing their master’s bidding.

      1. C Sharp

        Anyone who dismisses SF’s POV on anything is a member of FG, as opposed to being one of the 53%* of the population who support someone other than SF or FG.

        What must drive the Sinn Fein party strategists round the bend is the high percentages the independents tend to get in polls.

        Basically you have a huge chunk of the people who are pretty much defined by being anti the traditional government political parties and yet they still won’t go near Sinn Fein.

        If Sinn Fein can’t get these sort of voters to become Sinn Fein voters, Sinn Fein looks doomed to never being anything more than a minority partner at best.

        1. Martin Heavy-Guy

          Nail on the head there, but unfortunately they’re winning over the young vote because people can’t remember the havoc they wreaked on NI in the 90s. It’ll be a cold day in Ireland if that shower even get in as the minority party.

          And no Mr. T, I am certainly not a FG supporter, or a supporter of any of the parties we have in this country, but bottom of that pile of dung will always sit the old reliable Sinn Féin.

    1. Neilo

      I’m old as Methuselah’s nutsack and no Fine Gael supporter. Despising the Provos isn’t a party political matter.

    Leave me alone you big bullies. I got an A+ from the bigwigs for my last BS effort. Check my twitter, everyone is saying that I just smashed it, hammered it, hit the nail on the head. Goody goodygumdrops, am just so excited to be asked by the ecolite and armalite Gerry to be part of his gang. Expect a big bushy beard on Monday , hashtag revolution at cois farraige not Brighton , je crois.

    “Authors, academics, journalists, campaigner, artists, activists. ”

    – in other words, a bunch of SO ANGRY liberals who want to impose their views on everybody else. Likely to be Guardian readers and anxious to avoid heteronormative terms.
