Just having a wee bit of fun there as Lilibulero, Chalky!

I can't understand, perhaps you could explain it to me, what good SF getting people elected to Westminster does the cause of a united Ireland. Personally, I believe it's just SF putting a brave face on things. There will never be a united Ireland until the unionist people say that it's OK.

(Taking Westminster seats was one of the reasons O'Brady left SF and formed Republican SF. The Bobby Sands situation was a one-off, a special case, in very special circumstances).
