Republican Sinn Féin held a press conference this week. Bully for them! The media, eager for another angle on the tragic killings of two soldiers and a PSNI officer by cowards, turned up in force to hear the apologists of this criminal act claim that the murders were “acts of war”.
At the same press conference, the party’s publicity director, Richard Walsh, admitted that they will not be standing in forthcoming elections, nor would he say how many supporters the party has.
The last time they stood for election, they attracted just about one per cent of the votes where they entered the poll. It is clear that Republican Sinn Féin has no real support, no real mandate, and no credibility with the electorate.
But still, RSF says that it is wrong for police investigating heinous crimes to search houses, examine clothes for forensic evidence. Imagine, police officers investigating a crime. Someone tell Sir Hugh quickly!
Thanks to the actions of the dissident killers, which Republican Sinn Féin refuses to condemn, the policing bill is set to rise by £76m. And children ask why cars are stopped in checkpoints, and why armoured Land Rovers have replaced police cars. And three mothers walk weeping behind coffins.
