Bernadette McAliskey at anti war protest

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Tuesday April 08, 2003 19:29author by what i would give to kiss Bernadette's hand Report this post to the editors

The living legend and miracle that is Bernadette McAliskey attended the Anti war protest in belfast city center today. The very reverred Bernadette McAliskey joined anti-war protestors in Belfast city centre. Bernadette who survived a loyalist murder bid, after being shot and left for dead, knows all about the power of the state. What it can do to those who would dare question its policies.

Gorgeous Bernadette was looking vibrant as ever. Bernadette doesn't look a day older, and is alive and healthy, unlike some of the brit establishment military binky old boys who sanctioned and plotted the murder bid against her.

Bernadette gave a great interview today for the BBC, in which she was asked about the heavy-handedness of the RUC. She replied that new "funny hats" don't constitute a new police force.

Her daughter deirdre was man-handled by the peelers, and her friend was dragged away by her hair. Deirdre was ok, and was later able to give TG4 an interview, i'm not sure how her mate is.

Deirdre's freind who was dragged about by the hair was Caoimhe Butterly, an Irish activist who was shot by Israelis while working as a peace volunteer in Palestine.

She has since been arrested, and apparently charged.

There has been a complaint submitted to the police ombudsman about the police brutality at the protest, in particular the treatment of Caoimhe. Also the police officer was I believe caught on Chinese Television or something dragging her by the hair.

Now they'll probably bar Bernadette from the US. She's been invited by NYC Transport Workers Union, a living example of the industrial unionism principles of James Connolly. Howver some Irish Americans have never forgiven her for giving the key to the city of NY to the Black Panthers. She was given the freeedom of the city Mayor Linsley.

Bernadette was barred from entering the USA, but unlike yourself, Bernadette was only going to visit, not emigrate like yourself. Bernadette doesn't have to run away from economic or political problems. Bernadette stands and fights, she doesn't run away unlike some people (Mandy, bulldog reid, johnny adair and coco., Gordon Kerr etc).

You're just jealous because it's costing you loads of money to emigrate to the USA golden land of opportunity/rampant third world poverty. Unlike yourself, we are not all so downout and desperate to live in Dumbwar bush's the land of milk and money.

ah come on 'hail mary sore loser', this is the first generation who have had any choice about emigrating...you might not be "so downout and desperate to live in Dumbwar bush's land of milk and money" right now but wait till you and youre kids are on the dole for a decade and you might change your mind.
