A decent old lady I knew well described Conor Cruise O Brien as a "hateful man"as they both approached the end of their lives.I concur with this description of a man who changed so many horses midstream that he forgot which horse he rode last and ended up standing on a Unionist platform against the interests of Nationalist Irishmen,who he clearly despised.
He despised Catholicism,was of the view that educated people also despised it,hated Nationalism,had a poisonous vehemence for Republicanism,was a keen advocate of censorship and vigorously applied it,tried to stop the teaching of Irish history in our schools,intended to shut down the Irish Press which annoyed him in its publications,opposed the Good Friday Agreement,condoned the brutalising by certain Gardai of suspects in their custody and slyly withheld the fact of these beatings from his political colleagues.
He was a card carrying member of the Labour Party for much of his political career.
He was a direct contrast to James Connolly who put the the Labour Party on the map ,who died while tied disabled to a chair by the spite of a firing squad of British Army soldiers (my my weren't they brave men indeed ) and to whom many of the present leadership pay lip service only .
The present leadership of Labour are more Cruise O Brien than Connolly.
The old Stickies own it body and soul at this stage and I predict will leave a husk of a party when they have sucked it dry ,as they did to Sinn Fein the Workers Party,The Workers Party ,Democratic Left etc.
It is reliably reported that before the Provos were formed in the North and while Jack Lynch did stand idly by and while pogroms were being implemented against the Nationalist Catholic population that the stickies ran away.
Anyhow Rory Quinn seemingly shares some of the Cruiser's traits and ideas.
He never misses a chance to belittle Catholicism having embarked on a Labour approved campaign to abolish the teaching of religion in religious schools.I'll rephrase that, its Catholicism only he hates reserving his hatred for it exclusively.He continuously spouts nonsense about the pluralist society this country has become and it must be conceded that he and his Blue shirt colleagues have done and are doing their best to achieve this by evacuating rural Ireland of the indigenous people and packing them off to countries where thay are afforded the honour of work. Will they reach an emigration figure of 750,000 before they are run out of office ?What FIanna Fail et al started they will finish.
Like Hitler he wants total State control of the schools to propagate his communist and atheist views of society.
In a country where 86% of the population declares themselves to be Catholic /Christian this insulting approach to politics ought be stopped.He wants Caesar to have it all and God to have nothing.Maybe its time that God's people considered ceasing to pay their taxes until this hatefulness is stopped.Why would you pay the wages of someone out to destroy your religion ?
What we have from him is the hair on the tail of the dog trying to wag the dog.A right wagger.
He wants to demean the teaching of history too,afraid perhaps a la the Cruiser that history would not justify his politics and that the people might suss out his take on life.
The hatred he has generated amongst his employee teachers as evidenced in the vocal disapproval he has unreceived at the various conferences is palpable ,some record for a Labour politician who is supposed to protects the livelihood of workers.
He rules by diktat not consultation.His way or the byway.
And that teacher leader who complained about death threats on the Internet must be a right gob shite.I lead no union nor anything else and have had countless abusive threats from people of malice .It goes with the inter net territory and to allow Rory to hide behind his concern at the threats and avoid the flood of dissatisfaction at his antics was a monumental blunder and an opportunity lost.
He wants to fuck around with the Inter Cert,which he regards as a low status exam. For many many people the Inter Cert is the height of their academic achievement and they are hugely proud of it.Many hundreds of thousands of tradesmen,apprentices .labourers,shop assistants and so on n burst themselves to get it .And there are hundreds of thousands of people who have the Primary Cert,as their highest academic achievement and are fierce proud of it.All these people are as good ,if not better than Rory and his Labour ex student leaders who never broke sweat nor will.
The holders of mere low status examinations ,now have full knowledge of how the members of a party that was set up to represent them ,views them and what they think of them.
Now the Party of the Gays and Lesbians and the educated classes Labour has abandoned its natural support base entirely and fully deserves to languish at 6% in the polls,
It's a wonder its that high.
