The 32 County Sovereignty Movement call on the people of South Armagh to boycott this Tuesdays policing meeting in Crossmaglen.

Boycott Crossmaglen policing meeting

The 32 County Sovereignty Movement call on the people of South Armagh to boycott the upcoming DPP meeting which is to be held in Crossmaglen on september 4th.

The DPP is nothing more than a public relations stunt aimed at fooling people into believing that the RUC/PSNI can be held accountable and in the process getting them to accept British policing in Ireland. The fact is that the only people the RUC are accountable to is the British government.

The RUC/PSNI is an illegal police force tasked with upholding Britain's illegal sovereign claim over a part of Ireland and denying the Irish people their democratic right to freedom and independence. While the issue of national sovereignty remains unsettled British policing will remain political policing and no republican should support such a force.

It is also a slap on the face that this meeting is to be held in Crossmaglen a town where once no member of the crown forces could be safe. It is exactly because of Crossmaglen's republican reputation that this meeting is being held there, the rational being that if it goes ahead without incident then it should be no problem holding these meetings in other parts of South Armagh in the future.

Throughout the conflict the people of South Armagh have suffered injustice and oppression at the hands of the Crown forces. They have been tortured, imprisoned and lost family and friends yet have remained unbroken. We call on them to retain their spirit of resistance and to not allow themselves to be bought off or co opted into accepting the occupation as the constitutional nationalist parties have been.

All SF seem to do at these meetings is tell the cops that theyre rubbish at dealing with anti-social behaviour. Why even meet them at all?

$F should be ashamed of themselves, " FOR WHAT DIED THE SONS OF ROISIN ? WAS IT GREED?"

Well so much for putting manners in them, another lie by people no better than Scap, Donaldson and the many others who have betrayed Republicanism and those who died for it.
We have seen no downfall in drugdealing, antisocial behaviour and other crimes against the community since SF were forced to support the RUC / PSNI.
