Eliza-Brit out, peace in
The Irish people have never yet succumbed to English Royalty and
proof, if ever proof were needed, that that proud tradition still
remains will be amply supplied in the Six Counties on August 10th
when Elizabrit sails up Belfast Lough, Our Lough, on her proposed
visit to ``view the natives''.
The Brits have done a messy, bloody job attempting to rub us into
the ground, and they've done it in her name. Feeble, inoffensive
people claim she's only a ``figurehead'', and it's ``not her fault''.
This is a ridiculous and servile attitude. This woman hasn't an
ounce of integrity: and though the Brits universally proclaim her
as the benign queen, ``the nice lady'', we can't forget, and Derry
can't forget, how Elizabrit expressed pleasure when decorating
with medals the Paras who murdered 14 people on Bloody Sunday;
how Her Majesty's Forces have killed hundreds of Irish people and
children with impunity; how Her Majesty's perjuring Courts are
nothing but sentencing tribunals; how Her Majesty's prisons are
nothing but glorified concentration camps, and how Her Majesty's
signature is at the bottom of every piece of repressive law we've
experienced.
Far from the image of a universal philanthropist, in Ireland she
represents War and Death.
So on August 10th/11th in a world propaganda exercise she arrives
close to, but warily doesn't enter, the capital city of the Irish
Revolutionary War of Liberation. From the detailed schedule of
her itinerary, which has come into our possession, we see that
she will be avoiding the considerable areas where the blood is
spilled on her behalf.
As a sop to Orangeism the loyal UDR will be providing a guard of
honour (a major joke in itself), and won't British soldiers (who
are increasingly getting killed these days) be filled with hope
if for a few hours Coleraine and Hillsborough were safe enough
for their Queen?
In a recent address Elizabrit said: ``I cannot forget that I was
crowned Queen of Great Britain and Northern Ireland...''
She Won't!
