Hume accuses SF of hypocrisy over policing

Sinn Fein and the former SDLP leader John Hume have clashed over policing in the North and the republican movement’s continuing boycott of the Police Board.

Mr Hume, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1998, accused Sinn Fein of hypocrisy for agreeing to join the Northern Executive, but refusing to endorse the new policing arrangements in the North.
