On a similar topic; A former IRA hunger-striker has called on Gerry Adams to quit The Bobby Sands Trust for failing to take adequate action to protect children when he discovered his brother was a *****phile. Gerard Hodgins from west Belfast, who was on the 1980 hunger strike in the Maze, said the Liam Adams trial had brought to light "very disturbing information" about the Sinn Fein chief's actions in "this sordid episode". The Bobby Sands Trust holds the copyright on Sands' writings. It promotes the memory of the republican icon, who died in 1981 aged 27 after 66 days of hunger strike in the Maze, across the world. It operates from Sinn Fein offices on the Falls Road. Sands was imprisoned with Adams during the 1970s. Mr Hodgins, a former party press officer, said Adams' handling of his brother's abuse of his daughter Aine raised questions, stating: "Gerry Adams must resign from the Bobby Sands Trust due to his role in not doing enough for Aine and because he allowed his *****phile brother to continue as both an active member of Sinn Fein and a youth worker." The ex-hunger striker also urged the Sinn Fein president to "donate all royalties he receives from the sale of Bobby Sands' writings to a charity dealing with victims of sexual abuse". Mr Hodgins accused Mr Adams of showing "neither care nor compassion" towards his niece when she told him of her father's abuse. "Anyone who can turn their back on a child in the trauma of sexual abuse is deserving of neither respect nor a vote," he added. In the harshest criticism the Sinn Fein chief has faced from within republicanism, Hodgins accused him of criminalising the republican movement in both his alleged role in 'disappearing' people – which Mr Adams denies – and his response to abuse. Mr Hodgins said: "Gerry Adams began his career emulating South American military dictators who had a habit of disappearing people and ended his career emulating a cardinal of the Catholic Church protecting child abusers. Such behaviour is not conducive to the republican philosophy. Such behaviour demeans Irish republicanism."
You wouldn't have a problem if it was some lib dem leader who refused to tell police about the abuse of a child. Leave your personal opinion out of it.
The subject is your boring predictable threads - and the fact it was obvious you were going to bring Gerry Adams into this one.
Because it's you posting it and you're a boring predictable ****. I could write less than 100 lines of code which would scan BBC news, automatically post threads about the IRA on here - and completely replace your entire contribution to this forum.
I'm calling shenanigans. That acworth thread generator you wrote still hasn't produced an intelligible sentence.
