Burden of proof

IF we should hesitate to accept the word of the securocrats, as Sinn Féin-IRA suggest, we should be loathe also to accept the assurances of a group of terrorists and the most discredited political party in this state.

If, as Sinn Féin-IRA suggest, we should refrain from judgement until the relevant evidence is brought forward to substantiate the PSNI’s claims, then the electorate of this state should refuse to support Sinn Féin-IRA until it brings forward the evidence to substantiate its claims of being committed to the peace process.
