The
32 County Sovereignty Movement welcomes Gerry
Adams late arrival to the comprehensive and serious
debate among republicans.
With
the debate already taking place the republican
base are beginning to realise that the negotiators
have made a major mistake with what they agreed.
Nowhere
in the Good Friday Agreement (GFA) was there a
stop off point or amnesty clause or any recognition
that republican resistance had any legitimacy.
This
failure to protect the republican position leaves
Gerry Adams that he cannot debate outside of what
he agreed.
The
republican base can clearly see this, with the
events of recent months.
Agreeing
to the Patten proposals is agreeing to the RUC
with some minute changes including a name change,
so what is Gerry Adams going to debate.
The
question for him now, is he prepared to break
from the GFA because other than breaking from
the GFA in its totality, he has no room to manoeuvre.
Recognition
of the PSNI in any of its reformed status is recognising
the convictions of republicans before British
Courts, dishonouring and criminalising republican
dead.
By
recognising the PSNI, Gerry Adams effectively
is giving a commitment to assist in the ongoing
hunt for republicans who are wanted in ongoing
cases.
The
32 County Sovereignty Movement calls on the rank
and file members of Sinn Fein to reject this silly
notion that the PSNI would be a civic police force
absolved of any political role.
It
is not possible and recent statements show that
the liaison between MI5 and the PSNI ties them
totally into policing Britain's illegal claim
to sovereignty over part of our nation.
These
are the issues Gerry Adams needs to debate with
republicans.
