FF totally ignorant of true situation in the North

THE column by former Fianna Fáil adviser Noel Whelan (Irish Examiner, September 15) is typical of the arrogance of that party concerning unionists and loyalists and their total ignorance as regards the situation in Northern Ireland.

FF totally ignorant of true situation in the North

While all paramilitarism is a cancer within civil society, and the thuggery of recent rioting must be unequivocally condemned, Mr Whelan lives in cloud-cuckoo-land if he doesn’t think the appeasement of Sinn Féin/IRA, the continual giving in to Green fascist terrorists and the endless chipping away at Northern Ireland’s position in Britain hasn’t precipitated the crisis - or at the very least contributed to it.

His only factual comment is that a supposed Labour government with a majority bigger than Clement Attlee’s should have renationalised Harland and Woolf as well as British Leyland, British Steel, and other major manufacturing concerns throughout Britain - that economic decline has also contributed to the situation in Northern Ireland.
