McGibbon Remarks 'Hollow' - RSF

category national | miscellaneous | press release author Thursday August 14, 2008 21:30author by Richard Walsh - Republican Sinn Féin Report this post to the editors

RSF have stated that Cllr. McGibbon's condemnation of the Irish News for publishing Brit recruitment ads are hypocritical given his party's own recruitment attempts for British forces in Ireland.

A Provo councillor's complaints about British army recruitment advertisements are hollow given his party's own record, said a spokesperson for Republican Sinn Féin.

Director of Publicity, Richard Walsh, said: “Craigavon Borough councillor Johnny McGibbon's remarks about ads appearing in the Irish News promoting enlistment in the British army are hypocritical given his party's unceasing urges for people to enlist in another section of the British Crown Forces, namely the RUC. They share the 'long and violent history in Ireland' which he attributes to other sections of the British military.

“Mr. McGibbon should also clarify his views on the recent remarks of his party colleague in Ballymena – Monica Digney – who stated that she had not opposed a council vote supporting British soldiers parading through the town on their return from Afghanistan. At the very least this amounts to tacit support on her part for the British forces of occupation.

“Conversely, true Republicans continue to express their position of eternal hostility to the enemy.”
