I disagree Seamus Mc, Pete the punt has called it correctly if the psni/ruc think battering the bejayuss out of nationalist protesters is the way to go then Pete,s call for parity for his constituents is fair comment but I get the feeling it would go down like a shit sandwich in East Belfast,as for the chief cuntsnotable well he did address the political wing of the uvf and he didnt even wear a balaclava.

The punt has been playing mop up with his recent statement that the' police must address a perception they treat loyalists differently than republicans.' This isn't a perception its a fact and has been shown time and time again.

Conall McDevitt of the SDLP gets on my goat, 'professional independence' of the psni! If I was McDevitt I'd be shouting about the punt meeting with the uvf who the 'professional independent' psni have said have been behind 'fleg' violence, no wholesale loyalist paramilitary arrests to date. And as for McDevitts comment '"To suggest publically that the actions of the PSNI are politically motivated is outrageous and totally unjustified." Conall should remove his head from his rear end take off his stormont tinted glasses and look around him once in a while.

Well, now that wee Willie, wee Jamie and KKK Jim have been arrested, after 3 months of directing terrorism, and charged with something the RUC nua do not know the legality of, while at the same time David Ford, leader of the other unionist party, trys to rally his two dozen troops under the grand lie that he could do nothing about the street protests they were involved in, will we see the thousand or so others involved in deliberately blocking roads, terrorising old men going to visit their dying wives, preventing people engaging in their lawful activity and preventing business' making enough money to pay staff, pay taxes and pay rent, being brought to face court's also.
This whole thing reminds me of 1974 when the RUC stood by while loyalists took my sick Father from the back of an ambulance at their UWC roadblock while his family were prevented from leaving their car.
Plus ca change.

It seems the more serious the charge the less likely you are to be remanded for e.g., membership of a proscribed organisation,organising meetings on behalf of a proscribed organisation and involvement in the coverup of a murder yet if your connected to quisling $inn £ein you can have bail no tag no restrictions, but if you hold a bit of paper up in a graveyard you can be interned indefinitely ,hell you dont even have to have committed any offence to be banged up indefinitely just as long as you are opposed to the farce quisling $inn £ein have signed up to, the circus that passes for justice here is rapidly beginning to unravel into a disjointed and two tier system so reminiscent of what went before, the promised new beginning is as big a myth as the English sense of fair play.

i see this 'man' also managed to be released without stringent bail conditions like those forced upon republicans in the last few weeks ....... he just gets his SF buddies to pay bail and off he goes ...... not just the police playing politics here it's the "injustice" system too .....

itsjustmacker,

the challenge is to depoliticise policing. SF are not opposed to political policing but are opposed to the type of political policing that does not bear the imprimatur of their politics. Baggott and Ford are out of their depth.

Pete the punt put his name to an add in the paper in support of peoples right to protest,his people of course and his partys organised protest, Martybroy and quisling $inn £ein want the nationalist population to adopt the croppy position and thats lie down but not on the queens highway while they win hands down on playing "dummys meeting" their silence is deafening .
