A witless sort of person in Ireland always has a sheaf of objections to the status quo but inevitably ends up by supporting the very politicians whose party he should vehemently oppose.
We say of that type of fool,that he is suffering from a schizoaffective disorder though the proposition is used so frequently that it is entirely meaningless,these days.
......sometimes he-it is always a man or male youth,never a woman,they have their heads well screwed-on in political terms-attracts a good guide, perhaps a Church scholar or a clergyman. More often,a member of their own family steps forward to help that hapless individual. A countryman will always put you in the picture about another countryman.
Due to the recent insurgency which has engendered country blinds and double blinds,the latter role may be filled by a person who has been in a similar or worse position and one who keeps his cards very close to his chest. That latter person says very little in public.
One a 'talker', the other someone who gets things done. One a slow learner;the other,a diplomat. Those two types rely on one another in legal situations where subjects of mutual interest concerning mental acuity are at issue,the lesser of the pair being a naif. He is 'a gamey chick' who feeds the other vital information.
The 'media' response? Obstacles to Catholics in the North of Ireland?
The Orange Order was set up to break down the ties of family, kinship and home, not forgetting the main obstacle in reaction's path,the Catholic Church and the education system.
The RUC/PSNI?
An even bigger hurdle for nationalists. Is there any outside help?
Most Sinn Fein politicians claim not to see or know of the dangerous side of the police.
The police are the people who put the Orange Order and its opponents,the GAA,up to their antics on the streets of our towns and cities across Ireland. They operate street parades through the CID Operations Room in the local police station.
The police and army wherever you find them try to play one type of person or class off against another so that they come out on top.
In Northern Ireland,the police have lost sight of the reason a police force exists. That fact is due to the pressure exerted from London and the US Department of State.
Minor politicians join in a chorus of support for perpetual chaos and support for crime crackdowns is led by local worthies such as Protestant clergymen and various literati.
The result? Here?
The final place of confiement.
Health service policing of protest and of ordinary people going about their lawful business.
