From handing over the Chagos Islands to compensating Gerry Adams, Starmer's decisions owe more to human rights lawyers than sound politics. He needs to sack his chum Lord Hermer before he shipwrecks his Government.

One figure that has been repeatedly cited in the grooming gangs debate is that 1 in 73 Muslim men in the town of Rotherham has been prosecuted for grooming gang offences. However, this figure is slightly misleading.

Keir Starmer wants Britain to be both an "AI superpower" and a "clean energy superpower". He can't have it both ways, says Ben Pile. AI is hugely energy intensive and inconsistent with the path Net Zero is leading us down.

Harassment Arrests in Armagh - Three men held in British custody

category national | rights, freedoms and repression | press release author Thursday January 12, 2006 17:36author by Ruairi Og O Bradaigh - Republican Sinn Feinauthor email desdalton at rsf dot ieauthor address 223 Parnell St Dublin 1author phone 01 8729747 Report this post to the editors

Arrest of RSF members

RSF describe arrest of three of its members in Armagh as harassment

Harassment Arrests in Armagh - Three men held in British custody
Statement by RSF Publicity Officer Ruairi Og O Bradaigh

Republican Sinn Fein condemns the arrests of three cumann members in the Armagh
city area in raids by the RUC/PSNI last night as the latest incidence in the
continual harassment of Republicans by British Crown Forces.

Masked RUC/PSNI raiders entered the home of one man as he returned from work
last night and refused to let his children leave the house. He was then arrested
and is still being held with two other men, also members of Republican Sinn
Fein.

In previous cases this British State harassment has led to spurious charges
against members of the organisation which were later dropped

Ends.

The ruc/psni can't be partial with the way they apply the law. They turned a blind eye on the september orange order riots in Belfast and yet they arrest supporters of a united ireland who have done nothing wrong. This is the kind of partial police force we're dealing with in the north of Ireland.

Resistance!

"C.I.R.A haven't surrendered!"

Anyone else see the terrible irony in this statement? Since when did our elf reader pick up a newspaper? Sure wasn't in the last 35 years anyway!

How many loyalist groups will follow the IRA's move?

-turned a bind eye? there are more loyalists you prick ,in prison than republicans from those parades!!


"Republican Sinn Fein condemns the arrests of three cumann members in the Armagh

- you condemn armed and masked PSNI/RUC men entering his house, but if it was the other way round the RUC/PSNI man would be full of bullet holes!!!

Well smartie,
Tell me why the ruc/psni are partial with the way they apply the law. They allow orangemen to unleash violence on the streets and yet they arrest nationalists for far less serious crimes just to show to protestants/unionists that they are a 'fair' police force.


Spare us your unionist thought- your cock and bull arguement is no further outside the boundaries of kindergarden!!

Im sure these three people aren't innocent of trouble if RSF are coming out in support of them. In custody is probably the best place for them and the safest for the island.

I've noticed that the comment I posted which was not in anyway abusive etc has been removed, I think its fair to say that unless you agree totally with the author then you better not post, so much for free speech and democracy, but then again I dont think the author ever embraced either of those. guess I'm due to be erased again hope its isnt going to be a caller to my front door that does it.

You say the PSNI ignore the orange violence at marches but prosecute the republicans, so how come then smartass that theres more loyalists in jail than republicans???

Its so typical of the RUC/PSNI to do this to the Nationalist community in the north of Ireland. Of course, if they wanted this political and partial policing, then they should have just said so and be HONEST....

Rory Brady does make me laugh though. He still harks back to an assembly where Sinn Fein MPs declared a Republic (for which their authority is debatable under Irish political theory as well as British) which was implicitly rejected (at least temporarily) by the popular vote for the Treaty. He recently rejected the legitimacy of this popular vote in an RTE (I think) interview as a way to cling to the tired old argument about the Second Dail - it really has no juice left in it.
