Sectarianism of FAIR spokesperson

category national | rights, freedoms and repression | opinion/analysis author Monday March 06, 2006 15:18author by James Reilly Report this post to the editors

Questions must be asked - and answered

It is astonisihing that only Susan McKay has raised the question of the bona fides of FAIR in a substantive manner. It is not as though the information is hard to come by.

For instance:

FAIR demonstrated outside Stormont about the early release of Republican prisoners. When asked by David Dunseath of the BBC about the early release of loyalist prisoners Frazer replied “They should never have been locked up in the first place”

Susan McKay asked Frazer about this (Northern Protestants, an Unsettled People). Frazer replied:

“Obviously, I’m not saying anyone has a right to kill innocent Catholics.”

Willie went on:

“But if the security forces had been allowed to do their job, there would never have been any need for the loyalist paramilitaries. …..

“You take the UDR thing in South Armagh. You take a UDR man. He is in fear of his life. He knows who these boys are. He has the information. He knows the government won’t do anything about it. What does he do. He passes it on to the loyalist paramilitaries. If you were in the UDR and your brother was shot, are you telling me you wouldn’t? See if a Paki comes from India [sic] and kills a Provo? I’m going to shake his hand.”

McKay commented:

“[Frazer] rejected claims that his father was in the UVF or that Joe McCullough, the UDR man whose throat had been slit by the IRA in 1976, had been in the UVF and involved in the Dublin and Monaghan bombings. UDR man Robert McConnell has also been linked to the UVF. His nephew Brian McConnell is prominent in FAIR. Frazer said that some of the UDR men shot in south Armagh, including Robert McConnell, had been helping the British SAS in undercover operations against the IRA.”

Robert McConnell has subsequently been identified as being responsible for the killing of the Reavey brothers the day before the Kingsmill massacre. This killing, and others was carried out by security force personnel in unionist paramilitary organizations – the terms UDR-UVF-RUC described the same people. Some the same personnel were also implicated in involvement in the Dublin-Monaghan bombings.

Here is someone justifying the passing of information to illegal unionist paramilitary organizations for the purpose of having people murdered. Frazer claims that he is against the killing of “innocent” Catholics, but he has a negative view of Catholics in general.

VIEW OF CATHOLICS
For example, in a tour of parts of South Armagh, he observes, again from McKay’s book:

“We drove on. ‘That’s a Protestant house. I think we’re getting into Catholic territory now. Aye. That’s a bad boy in there. That’s a right nest of them in there.’ On a straight stretch of road across a bog, we could see a man ahead of us, walking with a spade over his shoulder. The man turned to watch us driving past him. ‘See the other side?’ said Frazer. ‘They never miss a trick. That’s the difference between Protestants and Catholics. If you drive past a Catholic, he’ll always look to see who is in the car. In a Protestant area, no one passes any remarks.

‘There’s a golf course they got. More than a million pounds was paid out by the government for that. The Catholics all claim thousands for the army breaking down their fences. That’s the Catholic mentality. One man got £10,000. He claimed he fell down the stairs when a bomb went off. My mother got £6,000 and they took it out of her welfare.’ We passed a big, showy modern house, set in a bog. ‘That’ll belong to one of those poor downtrodden nationalists,’ said Frazer with a bitter laugh. ‘All that is a lot of waffle. My mother used to babysit for Catholics when they were out in the pub drinking, and they’d be out two or three nights a week’”

Is there much difference between these attitudes and those of a white racist in the US or in South Africa toward black people.

RACIST SECTARIAN

Come to think of it, all we have to do is to refer to the views of Jim Dixon a fellow FAIR spokesperson, revealed in Saturday’s Daily Ireland as a supporter of a return of “civilized white rule” to Africa.

Why is it that the media accepts these people so uncritically? If some Shinner said this sort of stuff about Protestants the shinner sinner would be hanged from the nearest lamp post (by some of Willie Frazer's old, or perhaps his new, friends)

Why does the media accept Frazer and his Blood Brothers? Anyone with an once of common sense knows that members of the UDR/RIR & RUC/PSNI will pass on the imformation they have in their possession to their Blood Brothers in the UDA, UFF, UVF & LVF - after all they are ALL BRITISH fighting the one cause!!! Some of the UDR/RIR & RUC/PSNI are members of Illegal Loyalist Organisations to this day.
