Provos engage to point of Adopting Unionist Position.
It is appropriate that the Provos have today nominated their “Director of Unionist Engagement”, Martina Anderson, to take a seat on the RUC Policing Board alongside Alex Maskey and Dáithí McKay. This latest announcement demonstrates the depths they are prepared to engage with Unionism – to the point of mimicking their political position. The proposed Provo Ard-Chomhairle meeting on May 12th is certainly viewed merely as a rubber-stamp.
The claim by Ms. Anderson that she is “going in there [to the Policing Board] to hold them [the RUC] to account” is an insult to the intelligence of the general public, and in particular the Nationalist community who have suffered so much at the hands of the British Colonial Police. The role of Ms. Anderson and her colleagues will simply be to strengthen English rule in Ireland, acting in full and open collaboration with the British Crown Forces.
Rank and file Provisionals must now reject the boundless arrogance of their leaders and seek a return to their former allegiance. They should also be under no illusion that collaborating with the British forces of Occupation can in any way be considered a Revolutionary act.
