Ugly, racist abuse from Republican Sinn Fein

Deeply concerned and outraged at the continued use of Guantanamo as a US torture site, the ongoing Israeli collective punishment of Gaza and the facilitation of US troops and CIA torture flights through Shannnon Warport, members of the public, activists from Galway Food Not Bombs and the IPSC joined the Galway Alliance Against War protest at the Liam Mellows statue in Eyre Square this afternoon. Unfortunately, Rhuhel Ahmed, the British citizen who spent two years in the torture camp after being kidnapped with two of his friends whilst attending a wedding in Pakistan, could'nt attend. Fortunately, some 140 people attended including Michael D. Higgins, Galway City Councillors; Niall O' Brolchain, sisters, Catherine and Collette Connolly Billy Cameron and writers, Fred Johnson, Margaretta D'Arcy and Rita Anne Higgins.

Unfortunately, the only blot on an otherwise pristine day was the ugly, aggressive, racist presence of RSF, the stated purpose of these troglodytes, these Spinal Taps of republicanism was to prevent the attiring of the revolutionary hero, Liam Mellowes, in a Guantanamo Bay orange boiler suit by GAAW. Oblivious to the fact , Mellows, in his day, ferociously fought British imperialism and surely would have given his imprimatur, if alive, these louts, very much au fait with racism slimed and threatened at least two people that I'm acquainted with; "Fuck off back to your own country". "We've got enough problems here, without you adding to them was the essence of their "republicanism".

Up on the dais and skulking in the background with these guardians of the flame, as it were, was crony of shady Frank Fahy, Val Handley (Fianna Fail, ex City Councillor and Mayor of Galway City).
