The "Cruiser "school of journalism.

In a certain part of this country there live many inter related families of O Neills (not their real names ).To differentiate one from the other  nick names are locally used.One family employed for generations on the roads by the Local Authority have a reputation for swinging the lead,as it were and are called the O Neill "stand idles".
When Nationalists in the North were under attack,being burned out by the RUC and the British and Unionist Bigots,.ably stoked up by Arch Bigot,Ian Paisley and murdered in the streets,aside from sending Paddy Hillery to the United Nations for help(,he was laughed out of it ),the then Taoiseach of this country made his famous speech ,while sitting down ,that we would not stand idly by.
But he,did,we did and the "stickies" in the main ran away leading to the rechristening of the words IRA to Irish Ran Away.
The vacuum was filled by the Provisional IRA which took up arms to defend the Nationalist population and did so successfully for decades until the peace process.
I hadn't the courage to join up.I stood idly by,a" stand idler",as were all the political parties down here.
Not only this but the Fine Gael/Labour government ,introduced legislation prohibiting anyone from the Republican movement putting the Republican viewpoint over on the airwaves.
The Cruiser ,a Labour man, was the most enthusiastic proponent of this policy of censorship.
The stickies and their fellow "runawayers " were well embedded in the media and spun their own brand of cowardice..
Only one journalist out of the thousand's who plied their trade those days broke ranks and allowed a limited reportage of the Provisional view.
Hus name was Kevin O Kelly and for his courage he was prosecuted.
So in all the years that the repressive legislation operated only one decent man broke ranks.
Only one man with the balls and conviction to stand up for free speech and go against the herd.
Now fast  forward to the claims of Joe Cahill's niece that she was raped and that a so called kangaroo court ,composed of IRA members insulted /demeaned her etc .,principally it seems by putting her in a room with her alleged rapist.
Am I missing something or is it not the case that when an accused rapist is put on trial in a non kangaroo court ,as in this country, that both alleged rapist and alleged victim are in the same courtroom.during the trial.
But the most depressing thing about the whole scene is the ganging up of the journalist herd,whipped up by a Taoiseach trying to make political capital out of a misfortunate woman's predicament and kept going by a certain type of tight lipped feminist devoid of reason ,trying to make out that they are entitled to  make judgement in the kangaroo court of public opinion on those they clearly despise.
That's right ,the stand idlers and their followers yet again betraying the standards they claim to uphold  but in reality don't give a fuck about.
The Cruiser must have thought the Second coming had arrived,God rest him.
I am no Prove nor fellow traveller.While I do admire those who did not stand idly by,I find their policy on murdering the unborn,which they share with all the establishment parties and the assorted Socialist strays,abhorrent and intend to stand against them all in the next  election.
So help me God.
