Happy Birthday Ógra Shinn Féin Blog!

category national | miscellaneous | press release author Wednesday October 03, 2007 13:42author by Sarah - Ógra Shinn Féinauthor email osfnational at yahoo dot ie Report this post to the editors

Ógra Shinn Féin ( www.ograshinnfein.blogspot.com ) have been blogging for over one year now, we first started blogging first in September 2006 and from then we have had hundreds of posts, and receive over 500 unique views daily.
new_gra_logo.jpg

The post’s have ranged from news reports of actions, to opinion pieces on a wide range of issues, and recently has had the privileged addition of resident satirist ‘Gerry Junior.’

George Bernard Shaw once wrote,

"All censorships exist to prevent anyone from challenging current conceptions and existing institutions. All progress is initiated by challenging current conceptions, and executed by supplanting existing institutions. Consequently the first condition of progress is the removal of censorship."

We have surely challenged censorship and now possess an open forum from which to engage into wider debate around all issues that will help us assess and debate the future of the Republican Struggle.

Thanks to everyone in the past year who has made the blog a success and we would encourgage all of you and more to continue viewing, promoting and writing for the blog.

If the quote is accurate Shaw was wrong as some censorship is designed to protect public morals and decency. It’s a pity he could not have condemned the draconian censorship applied in the USSR in the 1920s instead of returning to England after a visit there with paeans of praise (“I have seen the future and it works”). We should also bear in mind the victims of the ultimate censorship like Eamon Collins, author of the autobiographical book "Killing Rage."

There is some irony in an image of Guernica being posted on a link to this thread given that those who bombed Guernica were later allies of the IRA. The same could be said about the faux indignation over a swastika on a wall in a loyalist area. Many from loyalist communities gave their lives fighting nazism while leading IRA figures were parleying with them.
