Subject: RE: BS: NI Police raid Sinn Fein offices, homes
The hope of all those who signed the referendum for the GFA are dashed, the majority of people put their faith in the agreement when events occur that represent no change or abuse then people are entitled to want an end to it.
I for one am dissapointed in SF as I thought they had the chance to put their money were their mouth is and do some real work.
We can all put forward examples of loyalist/unionist actions to bring about an end to the GFA, but thats neither here nor there in respect to what SF has done. They knew going into the GFA and government they would be watched and judged on every move, rather that act like statemen/women, they let us all down. And as Fionn says it is information useful to terrorist activity.
Lets explore that side of the problem without the usual what the prods do, as it takes the attention from what really is going on. If that info led to a terrorist attack, SF would say the usual we don't agree with violence but not condemn the people who carried out the attack as done in the past. Look at the shooting of the bus driver by the IRA.
If that is the type of representatives that people hold up as an example, we really are going nowhere with the GFA. It's better knowing now and saying catch yourself on before we go too far.
