Unionists should not accept Sinn Féin as a legitimate party

IT may come as a surprise to some to realise that Ulster people are not stupid.

In November each year, our political leaders attend Remembrance Day services, and some attend the Cenotaph in London for the same purpose. At these services, they celebrate the defeat of fascism in Europe, not least in Britain, and rightly so. By so doing, they are distancing themselves from violent philosophies and activities that have plunged countless families into indescribable grief.

But it is ironic, is it not, to see our ‘very British politicians’ not just contemplating going into power-sharing government in Northern Ireland with the representatives of fascism in our country, PIRA/Sinn Féin, but have made plans to do so. They are now preparing to jump into bed with terrorist killers, and hope the people of Northern Ireland will not notice, and therefore give them their support.
