Please point out to me which actual SF public rep had a high profile media or sports career which led to their adoption as a candidate? I'll head you off at the pass here and say IRA membership doesn't count!
    For the record, I despise the celebrity candidate culture as much as the family dynasty. If SF start that ************************e I'd have a serious rethink about my support.
    Bit of a crock from Tommy and has shades of the nonsense posted at the time of the Seán Óg Ó hAilpin for SF nonsense of a few years ago. It was a crock then and Tommy's claims are the same now.

    To be believable we have to accept that 'celebrity' candidates sympathetic to SF would be on the hotline to Tommy letting him know they had been approached and that despite their sympathy to the party they had told SF to 'fuk off'. It may not be a horse, nor even a goat, but it is certainly bull.

    Wrecking the heads of Shinners is soooooooo easy. It is like shooting fish in a barrel sometimes!!!

    Roddy is a disgrace - about as clever as your typical loyalist thug.
