Njord Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Gerry's cousin is getting good at hunger strikes. This is at least his second. Some people call it 'dieting'. " At 8am on August 31st 2015 veteran republican Liam Hannaway took the brave decision to go on hunger strike. Liam who is in his forties was one of the men arrested during a raid on a house at Ardcarne park in Newry in November 2014. His condition is deteriorating as the hunger strike now in its 15th day continues, To date he has not been seen by a doctor and has only been checked by a nurse while on hunger strike he should be seen weekly by a doctor. He has lost 21 lbs and a urine test is showing 4+ Ketones, his vomiting has stopped and he is very shaky but is in good spirits. The decision to go on hunger strike is not one that has been made lightly and he is determined to see it through to its awful conclusion if his demands are not met. Liam had asked to wait until after 14 days before releasing any information in order to give prison authorities time to work on each demand. Some of the factors that brought Liam to strike: They are housed on a landing with with UDA, UFF and other common drug dealers instead of with other republicans. Access to medical machinery, Liam is still waiting on his CPAP machine. Medication being withheld not just from Liam but from almost all republican prisoners at one time or another. Doctors appointments, only available once every 2 weeks are now being removed, which can lead to 2 months going by before they get to see a doctor. Outgoing and incoming mail going missing. Maghaberry prison is known for its brutal treatment of republican prisoners. Mi5 effectively run the gaol and use tactics such as isolation, forced strip searches withholding mail etc to demoralize republican prisoners. We should not forget that Liam and his comrades have not been convicted of a crime and are being held on remand. The treatment of republican Sean O` Neill from Limerick who is suffering from terminal cancer is a perfect example of this. In 2010 Liam went on hunger strike to protest being held on the vulnerable prisoners unit in Maghaberry lasting 42 days. During the 1981 hunger strike Martin Hurson died after 46 days, considering Liam`s current medical condition there is a very real possibility of another death at the hands of the British establishment. 14/09/2015 Statement Ends..." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacksgranda Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 (edited) "Veteran" Republican? He's only in his 40s. I suppose if he dies on hunger strike it will save one of his ex-comrades shooting him in an internecine fued* * feud, even.

Tom McB Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I feel very pure and normal up here on the East Coast and especially in Dundee. Godzilla's spawn would feel normal on the east coast. A film series dealing with the inhabitants would be easy to do, no need for make up or CGI. 1.The mutants of Montrose. 2. The abomination that was Arbroath. 3. The inbreds of Inverbervie. Cheap shots, yep the west coast does have an unfair share of bigoted fcukwits, history and migration patterns followed by politicians using immigration to grab votes, The Trumps and Farages of Scotland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Jo Jo Junior Shabadoo Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Back up and running today. A magnificent victory for Lanarkshire's finest. Was absolutely blowing out of my arse after running a 2 and a 3 in quick succession. Took a belter of a catch in their innings after recovering my breath. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerrdavidson95 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 The 50th Citylets Scottish Cup got up and running today with the first round of matches taking place across the country: Drumpellier (338-5, 50o) beat Marchmont (138, 35.5o) by 200 runs. Two centurions for Drumps, comfortable win over Edinburgh Scottish Cup debutants. Forfarshire (365-5, 50o) beat Ayr (206, 46o) by 159 runs. Craig Wallace adds 165 to his already substantial run count this season. Poloc (147, 34.4o) lost to Heriots (150-7, 37.4o) by 3 wickets. Low scoring affair but Heriots progress. Ferguslie (309-6, 50o) beat Weirs (67, 22o) by 242 runs. Domination for Paisley side. 138 for Preston-Jones Dumfries (50, 16.5o) lost to Glenrothes (51-0, 3.3o) by 10 wickets. Glenrothes smash their way to total after rolling West Prem contenders Dumfries. Grange (333-9, 50o) beat Watsonians (65, 14o) by 268 runs. Tournament holders make statement in pursuit of consecutive wins. Dunniker vs Clydesdale - result awaited. Uddingston (380-5, 50o) beat Renfrew (130, 43.2o) by 250 runs. Big result for Uddy, on paper match could've gone either way. Stirling County (188-5, 43.2o) beat Penicuik (185, 43.2o) by 5 wickets. Nice win for Stirling who progress. Greenock (110-1, 40.3o) beat Stenhousemuir (109, 40.3o) by 9 wickets. Western Prem strugglers come unstuck against Greenock. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

debaser2 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Can hear the fudricks in Paisley just now, you would expect them to have an extra swagger about them after the result yesterday. I was going for a haircut this morning but they are congregating all around that area so that is one local business worse off because of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Koop Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Not sure about that given the way Scots and their temperate, upright Presbyterian kinfolk in two-thirds of Ulster voted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst NI as a whole voted to remain there was significant leave results in traditionally Unionist areas. Plus the Sun said the queen was in favour of leave. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
