Harlem, you know that the British Queen is evil. Read about Gerry Adams on the Queen’s “Insensitive and Offensive” May 17 Visit to Ireland
Buckingham Palace announced that the Queen’s visit to the Republic of Ireland will begin on May 17, and that she will visit Croke Park, Guinness Storehouse, and the National Stud in Kildare, among other sites. There will be a state dinner for her at Dublin Castle, which was constructed by the Normans in the 1200s and, until Irish Independence in 1922, was the fortified seat of British rule.
Sinn Féin President Gerry Adams called the Queen’s visit “offensive and insensitive.” He particularly pointed to the day the visit is to commence, which is the anniversary of the May 17, 1974 bombings in Dublin and Monaghan which killed 33 people and injured and mutilated over 300 more. Years later, these bombings were claimed by the Ulster Volunteer Force, and it was alleged that they carried out these attacks with the involvement of British Military Intelligence.
The other “offensive” plan is for the little shrinking queen to visit Croke Park, the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) stadium in Dublin. Every Irish schoolchild knows that on November 21, 1920, the Royal Irish Constabulatory, together with the British Division, entered the park during a Gaelic football match, and with tanks and guns murdered 31 innocent players and fans, injuring hundreds more. This infamous incident during the Irish War of Independence, took place in retaliation for Michael Collins’ squad’s assassination of the infamous Cairo Gang spies deployed by the British.
In his statement on the details of the visit, Adams said:
“Sinn Féin is aware of the offense this visit will cause to many Irish citizens, particularly victims of British rule and those with legacy issues in this state and in the North. The scheduling of the visit on the anniversary of the Dublin and Monaghan bombings is particularly insensitive. It is widely believed that the Dublin and Monaghan bombings were carried out with the involvement of and direction of British military intelligence.
The British authorities have repeatedly refused to release the files in their possession on this attack. Despite an all-party Dáil motion, the Irish Government has failed to press the British for the release of these files.
“Sinn Fein wants to see the normalization of relationships between our two nations and republicans have been in the leadership of this process, but that can only be based on mutual respect and equality and on the ending of the partition of Ireland.” [NCO]
