Nationalist parties give go ahead for British police offensive![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 32CSM criticise RUC/PSNI offensive The 32 County Sovereignty Movement views with deep anger this weeks dramatic upsurge in offensive operations by the British police directed at nationalist districts across the 6 occupied counties. It is clear to us the swamping of working class nationalist housing estates, roads and rural districts in south Armagh, Newry and Derry city since Saturday evening accompanied by low flying helicopters, aggressive searching, patrolling and surveillance by heavily armed British policemen is a direct result of the public statement in the week prior to Christmas by Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness and SDLP leader Mark Durkan. These constitutional nationalist political leaders openly criticised the PSNI for failing to arrest and jail republican activists in sufficient numbers, giving the British the green light to pursue its aggressive armed incursions within our communities. |

You have not asked the people of Ireland their opinion and you obviously don't care.
I don't know if your membership is a few dozen or over two hundred.
The population of this island is 5 million and it is the majority of the people in the Republic of Ireland and the majority of the people of Northern Ireland who will decide in the ballot box whether they support parties who favour a United Ireland or not.
The only army who can wage war in the name of the citizens of the Republic of Ireland are the Irish Defence Forces who are subject to the decisions of Dail Eireann, the democratically elected representatives of the population of the Republic.
Who appointed you?
Who are you?
So Kevin another generation of young Irish people are encouraged to take on the might of the British Empire while leaders like yourself sit back and urge them on from the background.
We've seen it all before when we ourselves were the youth who were responding to the armed offensives of the Brits/RUC, many are dead and mainly forgotten by those who sent us out. Those same people who now prosper and serve the State they swore on our lives to smash.
We don't need nor want another generation of dying and imprisonment. If you want to bring about change don't use the lives of our youth to do so. Start building a viable alternative to the Shinners and use the youth in a meaningful way that won't cost them their lives or freedom.
If suicide bombers in London have no effect on British policy how can incendiary bombs in carpet stores or shot gun attacks every couple of months hope to push them out of Ireland?
Dont you feel strange saying to a man who just posted his name and position that he is faceless?
Also you idea of democracy seems to be the 'right' of the majority to use violence on the minority.
Well if your armed wing hadn't issued threats that it was going to launch a fresh offensive in order to murder and maim then there might not be such a heavy police presence. Now we have to live under the threat of iminent violence and another potential Omagh. If you don't want the cops on the streets then tell your private army mates to wise up and come to the table and be heard.
What table are you talking about? When the Adamsites surrendered there was only a British table on offer, with a predetermined British outcome. The only thing Adams and McGuinness were allowed to talk about was the terms of their Crown employment.
