Desperate attempt to restore funding to discredited group FAIR fails.

[Pat Mc Larnon]

As reported in the Daily Fury an attempt by UUP member Danny Kennedy to wipe the eye of Westminster MPs has come a bit of a cropper.

The MPs were on a 'fact finding' mission to Sth Armagh and Kennedy had met the delegation. Using typical unionist hyperbole Kennedy attempted to use the term 'genocide' in connection with the armed campaign in the area that occurred during he recent conflict. Unfortunately for the hapless Kennedy even the Westminster MPs were having none of it.

Kennedy used the meeting to bring up the funding of the discredited group FAIR and lobbied for their public money to be restored. Given the money was withdrawn by among others, Assembly departments, one wonders why Kennedy hasn't asked his Executive colleagues rather than the MPs?

The meeting can best be summed up by the ramblings of failed gun requester and associate of known loyalists Willie Frazer. The bouffant challenged loyalist stated, "they had no idea what we were talking about." Indeed Willie, indeed.

He should apply to a worldwide body.

Besides U.N.F.A.I.R. is more truthful.

Maybe they read that Willie doesn't think killing taigs is a crime?

No problem with the word being tossed around about other parts of the world which attract your passing interest though, is there ?
