SF meeting with Charles angers Bloody Sunday families

Sinn Féin has come in for stinging criticism for its meeting this week with Prince Charles, the head of the British Army’s Parachute Regiment, less than 24 hours after it was announced that no further charges will be brought over the Bloody Sunday massacre.

Fourteen people were killed and 22 were wounded when ‘the Paras’ opened fire on a peaceful protest against internment in Derry, on Sunday 30 January 1972.

The Bloody Sunday campaign for justice denounced the meeting between Charles Windsor and Sinn Féin’s leader in the North Michelle O’Neill and party chairman Declan Kearney, as “a demeaning betrayal”.

In a press statement, the Bloody Sunday March For Justice Committee said “the fact that representatives of the biggest nationalist party in the North” had travelled to Belfast to greet the commander in chief of the Parachute Regiment had come as “a bomb-shell” to many citizens of Derry, and to members of the Bloody Sunday families in particular.

It is astonishing that this should have happened within 24 hours of the families’ hopes of justice being dashed yet again. With just one exception, all of the members of Prince Charles’s regiment who took part in the Bloody Sunday massacre are to be let off the hook. At least, that’s the British establishment’s plan.
This is a demeaning betrayal. We march for the truth for 50 years, then the leader of the liars is made welcome in our midst!

The outcry recalled for the families another recent controversy when Sinn Féin met Prince Charles during the inquiry into the Ballymurphy massacre, when 11 civilians were killed by his regiment.

“If the lies were over, if Prince Charles and other military commanders were at last to tell the truth and say sorry, he might be entitled to a little bit of respect,” they said. “But he doesn’t have any respect for the people of Derry or for the Bloody Sunday dead.

Prince Charles’ role in the Parachute Regiment isn’t ceremonial. The paras don’t do ceremony. There was nothing ceremonial about what happened around Rossville Street, Glenfada Park, Joseph’s Place, etc.
Murder was done in the name of the State which Prince Charles is heir to. To shake his hand while the bereaved are still hurting is to bring shame on the city.

The recurring meetings between Sinn Féin and the British royals and their awkward timing has raised questions over whether the party is being influenced by a covert British agenda.

The failure to address concerns over the meetings has again had a deeply polarising effect on the republican community. Groups such as the 32 County Sovereignty Committee lashed out.

“What this shows is that quislings Michelle O’Neill and Declan Kearney, like others before them, care nothing for the victims and indeed the families of those murdered on bloody Sunday, nor the families and victims of countless murders by British armed forces in Ireland,” they said.

Former IRA PoW and Blanketman Dixie Elliott described the meeting as a show of arrogance.

“How much longer can they [Sinn Féin] be allowed to hide their duplicity behind a peace process that has lasted nearly as long as the war itself,” he asked.

Speaking to RTE television, Mr Kearney said the meeting had been “very important” for peace efforts. Although the British royals have never made any significant statement on the north of Ireland, Mr Kearney defended their role.

“Prince Charles and his mother have played a significant and positive role in helping us build on the progress,” he said.

  1. Didn't you lot get your revenge for Bloody Sunday on 27th August 1979 with Lord Mountbatten, an old lady and two boys at Mullaghmore and 18 Paras at Narrow Water - all killed by IRA bombs (IRA "volunteers" rarely took on other armed men directly, preferring softer targets like women ad children in shopping centres). Give it a rest.

  2. Great post Tony. Delighted to see that you have such empathy for the Royal Family and zero respect or thought for the families of Bloody Sunday and the Ballymurphy massacre ,all innocent Nationalists /Catholics.. Obviously you didnt grow up on the streets of the north where you daily had harassment from British Army patrols ,The post by Padraic was to highlight the depths that Sinn Fein have taken themselves to , they have long forgone all republican principles to become an establishment party and administer British rule in Stormont and sadly along the way the families of Bloody Sunday and Ballymurphy are pushed aside . Your opening line Didnt you lot get your revenge speaks volumes.

  3. Tell that to the 400 Catholic civilians killed by the IRA - about one quarter of all those they killed. Some defenders of the Catholic community!
    Your psychopathic heroes also killed 80 children and approximately 150 women. As I said, your heroes liked soft targets, killed by a control wire or remote control from a safe distance.

    One of the Parachute regiment members involved in Bloody Sunday was killed by the IRA, and another died in the Falklands. In total, 52 members of the Parachute Regiment were killed by the IRA, though their losses in the North were larger than that.

    There is an interesting article here:

    https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2010/jun/18/bloody-sunday-paratrooper-apology

    The Paras who committed mass murder on the streets of Derry's real legacy is the massive boost is gave the IRA, and the scores of soldiers killed by vengeful nationalists. The bloodlust of a few dickheads, and the frightened cover-up of the British state, created an atmosphere that Provo propogandists could scarcely believe their luck at having.

    Singling the IRA out for particular opprobrium is stupid. The RUC, army, loyalists, and republicans murdered civilians, made use of torture, and committed a range of crimes. No side emerged from the conflict with clean hands.

    Personally, and I speak not as someone who was bereaved by the Paras but as someone with a deep contempt for them, I am glad that Sinn Fein met with their Commanding Officer. It must have made Solider F and his murdering comrades, and their right-wing scumbag supporters, sick to the stomach to see a member of their beloved royal family meet with a man they considered a terrorist and criminal. That meeting, depending on how you looked at, raised or lowered the bar for one of the protagonists.

    In moral terms, there is not a bit of difference between the Parachute regiment gunmen on Bloody Sunday, the Kingsmill Murderers, the perpetrators of Greysteel, and the RUC men who committed sectarian murders.

  5. What is always forgotten is that before Bloody Sunday the IRA had killed more than 150 soldiers, police and civilians. Bloody Sunday was a consequence of IRA killings, mostly by "no warning" or defective warning bombs,for which the security forces inevitably got the blame - not the bombers.There can be no doubt - the first bullets on the day were fired by the IRA, as was normal, to provoke a gunfire response, in order to propagate the "victim-hood" of the IRA supporters.
    On Bloody Sunday the Paras lost the plot. But they were driven there by IRA provocation.

  6. I take your point about the moral equivalence of the IRA, UDA and the Paras, but the only group who continue to wear the cloak of victim-hood and publicly honour their murderers are Sinn Fein IRA. The Bobby Storey funeral was nothing less than a reminder to the unionist community that the IRA could be back murdering and bombing again at the drop of a hat - with full support of Sinn Fein.

      Did you see the massive support for Soldier F, from the UKG cabinet scoring political points about "veterans being hounded" down to thousands of wingnuts marching in London and elsewhere? How is that different to what you are describing?

      "On Bloody Sunday the Paras lost the plot. But they were driven there by IRA provocation."

      Did the IRA provoke them into shooting dead two Priests and a middle aged mother in Ballymurphy, too? And torture and perform fake executions on Billy Wright and others?

      Maybe - just maybe - the actual cause was bad leadership, colonial attitudes, bloodlust, and confidence they could get away with it?

      You do realise that your claims exonerate the OIRA for killing cleaning ladies at the Parachute regiment's base in Aldershot, don't you? Are you seriously blaming the Paras for those women's deaths?

    You clearly haven't read the memo! It's Para-bad and PIRA-good. The 1800 murders were all justified and the perps were all great lads to make Ireland proud. As for Storey, his funeral couldn't be starker than that of John Hume's. Once covid fucks off Hume will be given a state memorial service and will receive his deserved tributes, Storey will be just another dead failed revolutionary.
