Dixie:

What else would anyone expect from the Adamsite and PSF. They are on a downer, and continue so.

The people are now realising what they are about. "Fooling People".

I honestly believe they have told that many lies, "THEY BELIEVE IT THEMSELVES".

Sad, But, True.

In Fridays Derry Journal Adamsite Derry Chairperson Andrew McCartney called for a massive turn out for their so called commemoration in the city: Wrong person to ask Republicans for anything.

In an act of desperation Derry Adamsites visited the homes of Republicans and old supporters they thought might still be sympathetic to sell out as a route to a United Ireland. They handed out invites to the march and asked those they visited for confirmation that they would attend.

They also advertised free buses which would be laid on to bring people from Shantallow and the Waterside.

Needless to say they failed miserably to attract more than 200 people - I and others saw this ourselves - Now bad enough that this is, you must realise that PSF in Derry has to have about that number of paid members plus politicians in the city plus their family and friends. So where were they?

Oh and a former Blanket I know watched the PSF commemoration from the INLA monument and he later spoke to a photographer tasked with taking photos of the Adamsites. He said he couldn't believe how small it was. In fact he said by the time he took his camera out at the top of the New Road the March had passed by.

They have only those they bought with British funding left...And not even half of them or their families turned up.

TR, Not all POWs' on Roe 3 are Cogus Prisoners, the statement above and my subsequent post only concern Cogus POWs' chara! Therefore, the POW you speak of may well not be a Cogus POW after all? Like everyone, I'd prefer no-one was on protest but sadly the NIO, Stormont and Brits still want to punish Republican POWs' in anyway they can but they cannot beat the lad's resolve!

sorry my apologies, R3

AR,
The issue about R4 going back on protest is unclear I'm told - indeed a family member of one of the lads I know was told they are not on protest despite things being posted on fb..

AR, you are welcome. While this statement does no...

AR,

you are welcome. While this statement does not focus on it it never ceases to annoy me that screws are still beating republicans or any prisoners after all the suffering endured to push them back.

There should be no closed institutions in modern society where people with the power to abuse others are shielded from public scrutiny. The state has the public area=na well covered with CCTV. I can't see why they cannot be all over the jail and with no blind spots so that the screws can be monitored at all times.

Thanks for highlighting again the ongoing problems for Maghaberry's POWs' chara. Your help is greatly appreciated. I would also remind readers that the same groups of prisoners have also been forced to resume their Dirty Protest because of the failure of Stormont to implement the 2010 August Agreement.

Your message is well alive and working.

What everyone is up against is the British Establishment, A fact of life is, the British Government can only say a few things regarding security, This is run by MI5, In Fact, MI5 runs the British Government.
Cogus prisoners in Maghaberry. should not be surprised at this lockdown, how many times has the system tried this. Wear your Ester Lillys with pride. You have not been forgotten. Let them stick rule 7 up, you know were. You will all prevail.
