26-County State collaboration with Brits to be stepped up Des Dalton Commenting on the meeting in Dublin today (Tuesday Feb 25) between 26 County Minister for Justice Michael McDowell and the British Six County Direct Ruler, Paul Murphy, is the drafting of yet further draconian legislation aimed at coercing Republicans, Republican Sinn Féin Assistant PRO Des Dalton said: "It only serves to further highlight that the real agenda behind the secterian 'Stormont Agreement' is the bedding down of British Rule in Ireland by means of increased collaboration between the 26 County State and the British in suppressing all opposition to British Rule in Ireland."The presence at the meeting of RUCPSNI Chief Hugh Orde and 26 County Police Chief Pat Byrne only reinforces this view."

Disobedient Republicanism Anthony McIntyre Every year in Scarvagh on the 13th of July, a clown dressed up as King Billy wages imaginary war against his enemies and wins. You don't need to be a genius to know that if you were to video record the sham fight and watch it to the close of time the ending will always be the same as will every thing else about it. It is no different up at Hillsborough with our latest final ever negotiations. No matter what the suits do, what posture they take, what principle they vow to uphold, all roads lead inexorably to the entrenchment of the internal solution called the Good Friday Agreement. So fed up are we by the self-righteous absurdity of our political class that it is an effort to overcome the ennui they generate simply to turn the TV on to look at them. How many times can we watch the same old crap opera? It is hardly as if we can sit with bated breath anticipating the climatic denouement - one that we have never seen before. Republicans are perhaps more culpable than the others - they used to pour scorn on the waffle merchants of the political class. Now they are at the centre of it. In years to come people will go up to republican plots to see tombstones on the graves of some Sinn Fein politicians proclaiming 'he died talking bollix for Ireland.'
