Fintan O'Toole 🧵

Fintan O'Toole proposes Sinn Féin take its Westminster seats so Gerry Adams can lead a unity government.

Fintan O'Toole, part 1 of 4: Fintan O’Toole: A modest proposal / A bold move by Sinn Féin can transform the dynamics of power at Westminster / Fri, Aug 2, 2019, 15:00 / [Byline photo] Fintan O'Toole / [Photo: Boris Johnson in a dark suit and pink tie, smiling, standing by a car in front of a brick wall and railings] / Boris Johnson: his Brexit campaign statement that the UK sends “£350 million a week to the EU” is the subject of a prospective court case.

Fintan O'Toole, part 2 of 4: Irish nationalism stands on its stool shouting "O Captain! My Captain!" yet Sinn Féin sits at the back of the class like a surly teenager unwilling to be involved with the festivities, seemingly unmoved by the spectacle before them. / Now that a Unity Government looks ever closer to becoming a reality, thanks to Jo Swinson and her gathering of tinned cans of condensed milk they must surely be roused from their torpor. Of course, the Corbyinstas are unhappy as they only wish to see their "glorious leader" take high command, and are, in the face of all reason, promoting him as the only viable alternative; ignore them, they are the official opposition in name only and their 247 votes are of little consequence. / A compromise must be found that can appease all parties and the factions contained within. That compromise goes by the name of Gerry Adams. The great disruptors of Westminster ostensibly oppose a no-deal Brexit, and indeed Brexit itself but by not taking their seats, in open defiance of the electorate they purport to represent, they have done little to mitigate the impending calamity.
Fintan O'Toole, part 3 of 4: Remarkably, they have refused to implement my detailed policy proposal wherein they would give up their seats and allow them to be claimed by non-political figures such as the former president of Ireland, Mary McAleese in uncontested elections that democrats of all persuasions would surely welcome. / Overton window / Perhaps then, should they decide to do the honorable thing and take their seats it will slide the Overton window of statecraft to accommodate their view. It is no secret that the "dear leader" Corbyn is an IRA sympathiser (as Jolyon Maugham QC has exposed, there are rumours of his involvement in the Warrington bombing), so he would be happy to see the Sinn Fein grandee sit astride the British seats in the House of Commons. / The Liberal Democrats will fall behind Adams as he shares a last name with famous founding father of America Samuel Adams, so they will be able to squint and pretend that the Bostonian has travelled in time to save them in their time of need. Albeit with a thick Northern Irish accent.
