In January an appeal was made through the Ulster Herald for Sinn Fein members to lobby their leadership not to visit Washington on St Patrick's Day given President Biden's endorsement and enabling of the ongoing genocide in Gaza.
As they prepare for the airport that appeal appears to have fallen on deaf ears whilst American weapons of mass destruction continue to erase all living things in the region.
Closer to home the Irish Government suffered an embarrassing referendum defeat trying to be too clever by half with it's citizens last week. SF too had urged a tá, tá vote also spectacularly misreading the mood of the country.
Like the main opposition Party in England, SF's electoral fear of conservative middle Ireland is offending everyone aghast at the American/Israeli genocide. The referendum result showed Irish citizens want honesty from politicians, those in power and those who seek it.
Any Government in waiting worth its salt needs clear blue water between itself and the status quo - St Patrick's Day is red letter day for SF in that context.
