Adamsite 'Protest' Cannot Disguise Pro-British Credentials - RSF

Provo plans to protest a parade glorifying British aggression throughout the world is an exercise in hypocrisy, a spokesman for Republican Sinn Féin has said.

Provo plans to protest a parade glorifying British aggression throughout the world is an exercise in hypocrisy, a spokesman for Republican Sinn Féin has said. It was revealed that Adamsites intend to oppose the so-called “homecoming” parade in Belfast on Sunday, 2nd November.

However, Richard Walsh of Republican Sinn Féin pointed out that they had given tacit approval to other similar parades. “Monica Digney declined the opportunity to oppose such a spectacle parading through the streets of Ballymena. When it was discussed in the council chambers in August, it received unanimous support,” he said.

“Stormont Member Paul Maskey has said that his party's opposition to the illegal occupation of Iraq is well known. However, Martin McGuinness entered into talks with Iraqis to encourage them to surrender to the Anglo-American presence.

“It is also the case that his party now openly endorses the continued illegal occupation of Ireland, and seek to elicit support for and enlistment in the RUC.

“Stunts such as this upcoming 'protest' cannot disguise the ever-increasing pro-British credentials of the Provisionals.”
