New Sinn Fein police march protestors.

The Protest today by residents of the Springfield Road against Loyalist Sectarian Coat-Trailers marching triumphantly through the predominently nationalist / republican Springfield Road was today policed by the agents of New Sinn Fein.
Those prominent members of this once respected political party policed the entire march as they manhandled protestors from the picket. Among those manhandled were members of the RSYM. When they objected, and declared who they were and that they had a right to protest at this coat-trailing exercise, they were confronted with threats and a barrage of abuse.

The PSNI remained in their jeeps the whole time.

This attitude only serves the pruposes of the British, and further highlights the elitist attitudes of those who now serve the British Crown.
All right thinking republicans and socialists need to condemn these actions unequivocally and without reservation, although we recognise that this is only the latest in attacks against the RSM from the very same agents of the Crown.
