Connolly - now there was a trouble maker. For sure the ministers in the governmint would have tapped his phone if phones were widespread at the time - opening his mail for sure I'm sure - a filthy commie socialist labour social democratic this and that - looking for workers' rights or some other rubbish - democracy and whatsit? Instead of turning up for work to keep the economy going - a red just like Larkin. Shooting by Firing Squad was too good for him after the 1913 strike brought the country almost to its knees. Did he never think about the 'economy stupid' as Bill Clinton put it so succinctly? Who did he think he was anyway GW Bush brining democracy and liberal socialism to the masses oppressed b religion, poverty and foreign-funded dictatorships?
