A fresh perspective on Freshers.......

(SDLP Youth Get Pissed on "Reassuringly Expensive" Stella Artois at an Executive Meeting)

Be honest lads

I don’t know if any one pays much attention to the stoop mouth piece i.e. the Irish News, but the paper has gone into overdrive about the whole Fianna Fáil coming north thing.

You would swear it was Christmas for them! Their enthusiasm for the new ‘Wannabe Stoops’ (Fianna Failures) has even crossed over to the letters page, with every Stoop, Wannabe Stoop and West Brit in the country jumping on the bandwagon.

Even the Green Party have added their voice to the chorus, claiming, now wait for it, that they and Fianna Fáil ‘out performed’ Ógra Shinn Féin at the various Fresher fairs across the north. Who said that honesty was the best policy?

The magical number according to the Greens is 134. That is the totality of the Greens recruitment drive across the six counties. Fianna Fáil, according to the Greens only mustered 130 across the six, so close wannabe stoops, so close. It is this ‘staggering’ number that, according to the Wannabe Stoops and Greens out performed Ógra Shinn Féin.

Well, let’s start with the truth, because a very wise man once said that it was the ‘truth that will set you free’. Firstly Ógra Shinn Féin, Ireland’s largest, most active and fastest growing political movement did not under perform. The FACT is that in Queens University alone, ÓSF recruited 140 members. So in one campus alone we out performed both the Greens, Stoops and Wannabe
Stoops. Well done us! ÓSF 1 Stoops and wannabe’s 0

Secondly in Jordanstown Campus, Ógra Sinn Féin once again came top, the wannabes didn’t even show nor did the Greens, which only left the Stoops. The poor things only stayed for a while but gave up when only seven people signed up. We had 70, making the score at
half time: ÓSF 2 Stoops and Wannabe’s 0.

It was a similar situation in Coleraine, except apart from us, nobody else was there, I guess that would make it 3-0. St. Mary’s was the same with more people signing up to join ÓSF. Again, even with their, em, trying to think of something polite, ‘leader’ Mark Durkan, the stoops failed to make an impact. Apart from most people noticing that the Stoop members at St. Mary's were the same guys at Queens and Jordanstown!

Making it 4-0 at this critical stage of the game.

Now we can’t forget about Magee in Derry, this was where according to Emmett Doyle of the Wannabe Stoops, claimed to have had victory. He said "Even though Sinn Féin has been operating in the north for some time, we were considerably outstripping them.’’ But ye see Emmett, even the Stoops didn’t buy this one, never mind us. Making the score 5-0. It will be interesting to see in a few months time who is active on the ground and who is not. I can guarantee it will be Ógra Shinn Féin who will be leading the way, campaigning on issues that affect people on the ground.

Such as highlighting the disgusting treatment of the people of Rossport by the current Fianna Fáil and Green government. Or the planned desecration of one of Ireland’s most important historical sites: The Hill of Tara, what are Fianna Fáil and the Greens planning to do to our ancient capital? Bulldoze a bloody motorway through it. You can bet the Greens and wannabes
didn’t want those issues to be raised at freshers', but as good Republicans we did and will continue to do, So bring it on Stoops, wannabe stoops and anybody else for that matter, we relish the challenge!

By the way, final score Ógra Shinn Féin 5 The Stoop, Wannabe Stoop brown paper bag corruption alliance, that only recently realised the border didn’t stop at Ravensdale. - 0.
