Do as I Say, Not as I Do



Republican Sinn Fein (the group not pretending to observe a ceasefire) is advising people involved in the construction industry against carrying explosives around County Kerry during daylight hours. In the opinion of the party's oh-so-sensitive 'Community Affairs Spokesman', it is: 'a tragedy waiting to happen.'



Should we prostrate ourselves at the feet of the world's most chivalrous sage; thanking him profusely for a wonderfully caring attitude towards his fellow man? Or should we titter contemptuously at the fact that a party with such a bloody proficiency at murdering people should issue this type of warning (articulated by a person bestowed with a title of breathtaking hypocrisy)?



Let's face it, if explosives remain undisturbed on building sites in Ireland's rebellious south west, they are more accessible the next time RSF decide to use them to demonstrate the fragility of human mortality.
