Squinter, back with a bang?

Squinter is up to his old anti-republican antics again.
After almost a full year refraining from being used as Sinn Fein's town crier, his nameless hand has gotten itchy again, and as expected in the mouth of Easter.

This week he is accusing ONH (Squinters most hated Dissidents) of extorting local business people (Squinters favorite people in life).

In characteristic fashion, no name is attributed to the article, no name is put to the alleged victim either, no dates, no places, nothing of substance in fact.

Yet there is enough there to put the boot in to local Republicans and sow sufficient doubt into the minds of his readers. Not a massive boot, more like that of a feeble school boy running past the victim of a bus stop fight and throwing a sneaky dig in, just to see what it feels like.

The attack is not on the scale of last years pre-Easter Storey, when an 'Unnamed Republican source' was used to apparently "Expose" the antics of 'Dissident Republicans' in West Belfast. Back then we were told that Dissidents were responsible for the black death and everything since, we all know the Storey by now, and the source.

However since then Squinters paper has undergone the inevitable slide into financial crises, with less and less people buying it and even fewer caring about its contents. Squinters 'Unnamed Republican source' has gone on to push his Storeys on to Richard Sullivan and Paula Mackin, gutter scum writers of the semi-pornographic weekly 'The Sunday World'.

This has left Squinter in the shadows somewhat and has added to his tendency to withdraw from the office. More likely to be seen sauntering around Shaws Bridge, or struggling in the Gym, these days than up to work at the Glen Rd, Squinter has gone on to be viewed as somthing of a liability with O'Millioinaire himself.

In fact O'Millionaire is reluctant to allow him near a computer unsupervised. Last time that happened he said somthing bad about the great leader and almost sunk the whole ship. And as we have seen, things have never been quite the same since.

Non the less, Squinter proved his Loyalty to the West Belfast political elite again, with his annual yet casual pre-Easter swipe at ONH. Not in the public interest, not in the interests of journalism even, but for partisan posturing, by a coward, a draft dodger, an opportunist, a liar and captain of one of the fastest sinking ships in the country. He is still in the game, and for as long as he is. So will this blog.

Now, wheres my alphabet soup?
