British War Machine Out of Magee!

University of Ulster accused of double standards

Sinn Féin Councillor Maeve McLaughlin has accused the University of Ulster of double standards after it emerged that the British Army and Royal Navy are to attend a careers fair on Magee Campus while political parties were banned from fresher’s day recently.

Councillor McLaughlin said,

“At the recent freshers day political parties were not allowed to have leaflet, elected representatives or emblems present. The reason given for this by the Pro Vice Chancellor was that they wanted to create a neutral political environment on the campus.

“The attendance of the British Army at a career fair in a city that has seen such outrages as Bloody Sunday carried out by elements within that army does not in any way lend to the creation of a neutral political environment.

Ógra Shinn Féin Magee Society spokesperson Gerry O’Neill continued,

“Whether people like it or not the British Army and Royal Navy are part of the British war machine which not only carried out atrocities across the North of Ireland but are involved in illegal occupation of both Iraq and Afghanistan where thousand of civilians have died at their hands."

“Magee Ógra Shinn Fein will oppose the presence of the British Army and Royal Navy by holding a peaceful protest at the fair. We are also opposed to the hypocrisy practised by the university in which legitimate democratic parties are denied a voice yet the war mongers of the British Government are allowed to recruit."
