Dixie Elliot writes of his disappointment towards those opposed to the publication of a comm from Bobby Sands on the 40th anniversary of his death. 

I have been made aware of the hypocrites on the Blanketmen and Women forum who were making comments about the timing of the Bobby Sands comm on the morning of the 40th anniversary of his death.
 
May I remind those hypocrites that on the very day of the 40th anniversary of Bobby's famous election victory, Mary Lou McDonald, Michelle O'Neill and worst of all, the President of the Stormont Commonwealth Parliamentary Association, Alex Maskey, were sending condolences to the repugnant British Royals on the death of a racist and that they later apologised for the actions of the IRA.
 
Apologising to the British Queen who is Head of the Armed Forces and Prince Charles who is Colonel-in-Chief of the murderous Paras.
 
The family who recently gave 'Royal Assent' to the 'Overseas Operations Bill'.
 
Did the hypocrites utter a word of condemnation? Not a chance in hell.

Forty years have passed since 10 brave men were dying on hunger strike in the H Blocks, known to the British as HMP Maze. - Her Majesty's Prison - and these hypocrites have the absolute gall to criticise the fact that Bobby's words dominated the air waves, drowning out those in Sinn Féin whose lips offered hypocritical homage at the shrine of that Freedom whose cause they had betrayed - to paraphrase James Connolly.

Bobby's words from beyond the grave damns them for what they have become.

May I also remind them that:

  • Michelle O'Neill and Declan Kearney stood at the side of the Colonel-in-Chief of the Paras the day after the Bloody Sunday Families were told that no charges would be brought against his murderous regiment.
  • That John Finucane was there greet him when he appeared in the north during the Ballymurphy Inquiry. 

Both visits were acts of British arrogance yet Sinn Féin choose to play along with it.

These hypocrites ignore the fact that Sinn Féin has chosen to stand with these people who still claim domination over the north of our country, something many brave men and women died fighting against. 

They ignore it in order to retain their jobs which are merely the crumbs dropping from the tables of their leadership.

They should be wondering when it will be their turn to be shafted.
