The Gray Monk: A taste of his own medicine?

A taste of his own medicine?

The Northern Ireland Secretary, the arch protester and one time professional student protester and wrecker of other people's education, sporting pleasure and campaigner on all sorts of "rights"; none other than the esteemed Mr Peter Hain, is suddenly on the receiving end of someone else's protest. And clearly he isn't enjoying the experience any more than those he himself targetted in his activist days, enjoyed his attention. How the wheel turns! How the definition of terrorism changes. By their own definition, most of the cabinet were once terrorists in their student campaigning days - so I do not hesitate to call them so - but now they are chummying up to more dangerous and murderous terrorists and trying to appease them.

This government has turned appeasement into a fine art when it comes to dealing with murderers and terrorists, especially those of the IRA who have suddenly, in New Labour speak, become "Nationalists" and "Peacemakers". The Unionists, of course, have been demonised by Blair's Propaganda Ministry and are portrayed as wreckers and unco-operative recalcitrant extremists. Mind you, that's easy to do when they - and the rest of Northern Ireland - are not Labour supporting luvvies. It's also very easy to do when you are not fighting for your right to rule in a democratic way, without the IRA's guns and bombs calling the shots. New Labour have managed to portray Sinn Fein as a "majority" party, when it is not, even in the South, the Republic, it is a minority Party, but they and their New Labour chums have managed to present themselves as "majority" representatives of the "oppressed" Irish. Being part Irish I can also enjoy the joke about the gullible English, but this is taking it too far.

The recent riots are a symptom of what will happen if Hain and Blair continue to ignore the majority voters of Northern Ireland and give concession after concession to Adams and his gang of thieves, drug peddlers and murderers. Drug peddlers, you ask? Where did you think the IRA's funding came from? The tooth fairy? For the last forty years the IRA has run almost every racket from drugs and prostitution to "protection" in order to fund their "war" on the innocent and the free. Now, as with his disasterous endorsements of Mugabe and his thugs, Blair and his sycophants have done it again. They back Adams and the IRA only because they want to avenge themselves on the Unionists who consistently vote against Labour and Blair in Westminster.

All very well for Hain to bleat about "Unionist thugs" and "Loyalist Terrorists" when he was one himself and daily sups with the devil in his appeasement meetings with Adams and Co. Did he really expect this nation of tough "Wild Geese" and pugnacious fighters to take this lying down? I rather think he will find he has a tiger by the tail, and it is slowly getting ready to turn and savage him - and with him Blair and all his sycophants. No one in their right mind wants a return to the bullets, bombs and guns - but Blair and his fellow terrorist Secretary of State have created a situation in which they have alienated the majority and will sooner, rather than later, find they must pay the price.

I suspect that the Unionist/Loyalist majority in Northern Ireland have only just begun to show their anger. Mr Hain's career, like so many others, may well come to a very sticky and messy end as a result of Labour vindictive folly. But I doubt they will learn anything from it - they are too arrogant and too stupid to do so.
