Squinter attacks the Maghaberry POWs again!

August 23rd Monday edition

$quinter really, really, really hates dissidents, and wants to let the whole world know. This is understandable as his lovely middle class lifestyle can only be maintained if ‘Gerry A’ (Squinters mate apparently) continues to keep west Belfast friendly for peelers and business investors, and he remains the loudest cheerleader.
This is why during the last ten years of struggle and suffering in Maghaberry, a period which saw; two dirty protests, two hunger strikes, one prisoner dead in solitary confinement, one more dead in PSNI custody, forced integration, dozens of prisoners beaten, prisoners strip searched and degraded along with their families, and hundreds of west Belfast citizens take to the streets in protest, Squinter instead chose to use his paper to take the piss out of each and every effort to help the POWs, as well as to felon set and criminalise the POWs themselves.
This week Squinter has for the second time, jumped on the fact that a POW supporter spelt Maghaberry wrong on a wall some weeks back (talk about avoiding the real issues).
Squinter shows the picture of the writing and then launches a piss poor comedy sketch regarding ‘an active service unit’ whose job is to write slogans on walls.
Squinters two imaginary ‘Volunteers’ are then given all the usual characteristics Squinter gives to ‘dissidents’, ie; pig thick stupid, uneducated, idiots, more or less the same characteristics British tabloids have given to republicans for 200 years.
The first thing that jumped out at me when reading this crap was Squinters opening line, ‘In many ways Maghaberry Jail is little different from Long Kesh in the 70s and 80s’, to me this was a type of disclaimer, a bare acknowledgement to the suffering he knows the prisoners went through, before saying ‘fuckem’.
Now, Squinter (both using his real name and in his shite comedy bit) has no problem in opening other republicans up for scrutiny on their beliefs.
As such I would have no problem in asking ‘what would Squinter know about prison conditions anytime anywhere?.
As Squinter will well remember, he was left red faced by a former woman POW in his favourite drinking establishment one night when she pointed out ‘You spent your whole life avoiding active service, what would you know about prison?, apparently Squinter had tried to join in on yarns of actual Felons, including one who obviously recognised him as a setter.
Over the years Squinter was so determined to wreck the Maghaberry campaign through his paper that prisoner support groups had to eject all photographers and journalists from public meetings. He helped justify Provo hard men destroying POW benefit nights through making up lies and refused to publicise cases of Real IRA POWs in England being denied medical treatment because they were “not local stories”.
After a while one begins to wonder, just what is Squinters problem, why does he hate principled republicans to the point of actually attacking a prison protest and anyone who supports it?, this brings me back to my first point, Squinter needs to see the ‘Dissidents’ fail, his lifestyle absolutely depends on it.
Squinter didn’t write about the faeces and urine soaked cells the POWs lived in, he didn’t talk about the suffering and struggle, he saw where some young lad tried to express his support for Irish republicans incarcerated by his beloved PSNI, and he took the piss out of him instead.
Squinter, as an uneducated, illiterate dissident, let me tell you outright ‘UR A DCIKHEAD’.

August 16, PSNI goood O.N,H baaad!

Monday edition! And Squinter really has outshone the other police loving papers today with no fewer than three articles dedicated to forcing the PSNI (not the RUC, repeat NOT the RUC) into the minds of West Belfast readers. The local DPP, who have no actual power but are allowed to ask questions and suggest things, are praised as being 'one of the most proactive'. ???
Other articles mention 'policing stats' and surveys and a contain a litany of the usual buzzwards such as; 'consultation', 'prioritising', 'engagement', all generously sprinkled around the banner head line 'Anti-Social behaviour is the biggest issue facing residents'. 
Now a 'vodka swilling dissident slob' - as he once referred to them - would think Squinter was on an agenda here to convince people that when it comes to tackling Anti-Social behaviour, there is nobody out there up to the job but the PSNI. Absolutely nobody, especially not O.N.H, currently Squinters favourate dissidents to hate.
And why would one think Squinter was playing to a political agenda here? well lets look at the vey next headline, directly underneath the three PSNI endorsing headlines.
'O.N.H are running protection rackets', a coincidence surely?, given that O.N.H didnt recently route a bunch of PSNI backed hoods from the St Jame's area, gaining them the respect of local residents and to the exclusion of Squinters beloved new policing 'service'???
Now i know that Squinter has no time for 'Unamed sources', i know this because when he defended Steaknife to the hilt in 2003, he repeatedly poured scorn on the 'Sunday rags' who relied on them and assured us that his paper would never be reduced to that sort of thing. Alot of water has passed under the bridge since then tho (Barnsey has gone to the Sunday Life for example), and now the bold Squinter has no problem using 'Unamed sources' to push his own - or rather Gerry's own - political agenda onto the headlines.
Oglaigh na hEireann (ONH) are being accused of putting jobs at risk in West Belfast. A basic rehash of Barnesys old CIRA Storey (gleaned from 'Unamed republican source') is then laid out in unsigned Squinter like fashion, getting in every possible shocking anti-social angle, and finishing off with a cracker quote from Cllr Paul Maskey "ONH should get off the backs of the contractors" .
Thank God the Provos never extorted anybody Paul eh? otherwise you would look stupid.
