Time for Nationalists and Republicans to Withdraw Support for British Policing

How many more threads do we have to have on this non-issue?

The problem of the 'police' remains unresolved in the occupied counties. It was hoped that those members who had hitherto either collaborated with their 'illegal' brothers in unionist terrorist gangs or who engaged in violent acts in pursuance of the Orange agenda would be removed from the force. It was assumed that the GFA and IRA cessation would encourage the British to disarm and disband the unionist militia, who masquaraded as a police service but were and apparently remain a military force, created initially to oppress and terrorize the indigenous people.

But the arrest of Colin Duffy and other activities indicate that SS/RUC continues to pose a terrorist threat to the irish people. It was not disbanded, just watered down. It is infested with orange fascists and until the terrorists are removed from the force, it will remain in essence just another pro-british gang of thugs and barbarians.

Spot on. Policing urgently needs to be overhauled again. The cosmetic changes of name and a pledge to add a few more Catholics to the ranks are just that - cosmetic. Far more radical changes are needed in order for the force to win respect from the people.

My point is, as if you didn't know, that Catholic
totalitarianism in the early days of the Free State- and well into the Republic era-
was much more refined than anything "the Prods " could dream up.

Want a job as an engineeer ? Speak Irish ? No ? Awful sorry.
What a dilly that was!!

In what way is your post relevant to my judgement on Prod rule?
