Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7Having read the thread about SF cashing in on the Film 'The wind that shakes the barley' reminded me of this article. It seems nothing is sacred anymore when it comes to making money.
Silly Willie Nilly, it costs money to travel the world meeting the great and the powerful, the corrupt and the warmongers. A free Ireland comes at a price, loads of money.
My god how disgusting! Hunger Striker Plates!
How dare they accuse Richard O' Rawe of cashing in on the Hunger Strikes when they are selling crap like this.
It seems that the apologists for PSF haven't much to say on this issue. They appear to hiding behind their keyboards. You can't defend the indefensible.
On reading this it shocked me so much that I find it hard to get it out of my head. This is the sickest and most horrific way of commemorating (and making money from) those 10 selfless brave men who made the ultimate sacrifice to improve conditions for others. Money certainly corrupts and is the root of all evil alright!!
How can anyone be surprised that Sinn Fein/Noraid would stoop so low as to be selling Hunger Strike Plates to raise funds ? They have sold out on everything else so they might as well sell out their former comrades.
Selling a few plates wont cost them a thought seeing as they had no problem with slaughtering decent working class people out having a few drinks in the pubs of Birmingham and then allowed more working class Irishment to rot in jail for it.
You can dress them up as much as you want but at heart they are just getting rich on the backs of gullible young working class people.
