GARC To Hold Protest Against Unwelcome Apprentice Boys Parade

Comments from GARC (Continued):

In response to your July letter to GARC and tissue of lies in this weeks North Belfast News will not fool the residents of Ardoyne who recognise political propaganda when they see it. Your response to our letter of protest handed in to your office following a white line picket to highlight the plight of Ardoyne resident and GARC activist Alan Lundy presently being interned on the perjured word of a PSNI officer demonstrates that you have little or no interest in defending the civil and human rights of Ardoyne residents.

Community Restorative Justice chose to interpret the protest letter as a threat, let us clarify the situation; there is no threat implied or otherwise against the community and voluntary sector working in greater Ardoyne. We hope this clarifies our position.

Furthermore, when the smoke and mirrors clear and when the mock outrage whipped up by your organisation and its political supporters ebb, the people in Ardoyne will still be hemmed into our community by a paramilitary and sectarian PSNI whilst unwanted sectarian parades continue unhindered through Ardoyne, Mountainview and the ‘dales’.

Greater Ardoyne Residents Collective was set up following the demise of the Ardoyne parades dialogue group to peacefully protest against the denial of the right of residents of Ardoyne to live free from sectarian harassment. We are an inclusive coalition of greater Ardoyne residents and we will continue to agitate and protest against sectarian coat trailing and the associated political policing operation. The object of our peaceful protests is the Orange Order and the PSNI.

In regards to your invitation to meet our group we see little purpose in meeting with you at this time unless the issue of political policing by the PSNI of Orange Order marches through Ardoyne, and the arrest and imprisonment of peaceful protesters is on the agenda. However, if your unwillingness to acknowledge the political policing issue and its negative effect on the Ardoyne community changes we would be prepared to review our position.

Paul Carson (Contact Delegate)

The PSNI amid heavy security were escorted from the monastery were they had been hiding by Sinn Fein MLA Gerry Kelly to Ardoyne Hall which lies within the church grounds.

A delegation from GARC which included the family of Alan Lundy went into the meeting and read a statement asking the community representatives to withdraw from a meeting attended by the same PSNI that has wrecked and imprisoned many Ardoyne homes and people. The GARC delegation having made its legitimate protest returned to the white line picket on the Crumlin Road and dispersed peacefully.

Speaking after the protest, which was attended by local IRSP personnel, north Belfast representative Paul Little said,
‘The IRSP support the right of the residents of Ardoyne to live free from sectarian intimidation and harassment from the Orange Order and other secret sectarian societies. We also support the right of the residents of Ardoyne to live free from political, sectarian policing from the PSNI. The right to peaceful protest is a democratic right and the IRSP fully support the residents of Ardoyne in their quest to highlight and fight against injustice.”

Comments from GARC:

Greater Ardoyne Residents Collective responded to the Sinn Fein / CRJ smokescreen in this weeks North Belfast News.

Following a white line picket in support of fellow GARC community representative Alan Lundy who is wrongfully interned on the perjured word of a PSNI officer, last week a letter of protest was handed in to CRJ who invite the PSNI in to Ardoyne asking them to review their position given the evident political policing of the community in Ardoyne.

Sinn Fein/CRJ responded by spuriously accusing GARC of threatening the /community and voluntary sector.

In response Greater Ardoyne Residents Collective held a white line protest outside today’s Inter agency community meeting held in Ardoyne Hall, a meeting that included a PSNI delegation of McDowell, Freeburn and the perjurer himself Kirkpatrick.

A GARC delegation handed a letter of response to CRJ representative Harry MCGuire.

The contentious areas of Policing and Justice have become a nightmare for Sinn Fein. These two institutions are tasked with ensuring the political stability of the system based on Britain's national interests. Sinn Fein totally overestimated it ability to shape the way in which these two important areas would develop. The Britsih, on the other hand, made sure to build sufficient protections into the system so as to limit the extent of any interference by untrustworthy political parties. Today Sinn Fein has shown itself to be extremely trustworthy as a partner in local government whilst having little influence over policing and justice. This is precisely how the British intended it would be.

From Martin Óg Meehan:

A Chairde,

Five years have passed since Sinn Féin held a Special Ard Fhéis that
promised the Catholic/Nationalist and Republican community in the North they would help deliver a new Policing Service. Since then, the Party has joined a host of District Partnerships and the Policing Board to follow
through with its promises. As part of this strategy, it has encouraged everyone to join, support and actively work in favour of the re-named RUC.

Has the re-branded British Police Force changed during those five years?

Has the inclusion of Sinn Féin on the District Partnerships and Policing Board delivered a new Police Service?

Has British Political Policing endedin Ireland?

In short, the answer to the three questions above is no. Not only does the British government continue to control the PSNI through its Secret Service, MI5. It is helped in its endeavours with unswerving and unlimited political support from Sinn Féin who once promised a new
dispensation in Policing.

The recent arrest and incarceration of Alan Lundy and Ta McWilliams is further evidence if needed that British Political Policing is still rife. Both Republicans were lifted within days of the Twelfth in highly
publicised arrests announced by PSNI Headquarters. They also appeared in Belfast Magistrate's Court to give the charges a cosmetic semblance of a
normal judicial process. The two Ardoyne men have since been refused bail on instruction from the 'new' Police Service and are currently imprisoned in Maghaberry Gaol on remand. Amazingly, there is no photographic evidence linking Alan Lundy to the charges against him. Likewise, there is no
forensic evidence against Ta McWilliams.

Has the Ardoyne community not witnessed enough unjust prison sentences down the years, without more? Has the Lundy and McWilliams' families not
seen enough of British Prisons and Courts, without more?

How long will the Lundy and McWilliams families have to wait before justice is delivered?

A Campaign has began to end their nightmare and I urge everyone who believe in justice to help the campaign!

Is Mise,

Its a mistake to continue hoping
SF will magically revert back to where they came from politically. That is to continue giving the party and the johnny come lately partitionists in it credfit they do not deserve. They are political hoods and should return the SDLP clothes they robbed.

Re the Sean MacDiarmada Ard Eoin.
Alan Lundy.

As always, republican unity is crucial in the face of this dangerous yet predictable threat to legitimate political dissent in modern Ireland. If they can do it to Alan Lundy and Tá McWilliams they can do it to all of us.

That is exactly what I have written several times, also with this ; "Who will be next"

Wouldn’t Gerry Kelly’s criticism of this action be all the more effective if he were to acknowledge that his IRA did likewise on occasion as well.

There are things we can never forget, Not only the taking over of other peoples houses, but , "Also their cars", never their own cars!, they were needed for a quick getaway when it got a bit hot!, and, all doors were to be left open and house lights off ,My front and back doors were never closed , they got kicked in that many times by RUC and the BA ,I just gave up because No compensation from any of those bastards. So , MLA Kelly , get your finger out of your arse , and , never forget were you came from , That's something I will never do, I know my roots and I am proud of them, although the Auld days were hard for everyone, You seem to think you are on a roller coaster , maybe the safety harness will fail you one of these days, or , I wish it would fail the lot of you grassing trash.

Breaking News poor Gerry Kelly MLA has Alzheimer’s ah the poor guy what a shame, but it must remembered that Sinn Fein members were well warned in advance that trying to play at Politics can do strange things to your mind, he has now forgotten everything about the past. On UTV recently he condemned a republican for using the crowd as a human shield, wow what a cowardly act that is said he. I was always open to the opinion that some Sinn Fein members had brains but here is evidence to the contrary. I am here waiting patiently for the day when a Sinn Fein member tells us
“That we are as much British as the people of Finchley “next up we will be wearing Union Jack shorts and The Poppy because all the Gerry’s say so.
I have just thought of a better name for Sinn Fein how about The Rubik’s Cube Party

Seán MacDiarmada Ard Eoin Re Alan Lundy

Wouldn’t Gerry Kelly’s criticism of this action be all the more effective if he were to acknowledge that his IRA did likewise on occasion as well as taking over people’s homes to use for the purpose of shooting at British police? It is impossible to say it is cowardly today but brave in his day. There is no case that can be made for using a human shield to shoot at cops.

This is a much more transparent example of the SF peace/piss process. There is nothing here to cast doubt on the individual and he has become the latest victim of a loyalist police force that not only escaped the Patton recommendations but NEVER entered 'peace' mode. SF are a disgrace. Vote SDLP.

2012-07-23T12:57:37.850+01:00

My way of reading all of this is, "If your not for psf and toe the line", then, "They are against you", and that is exactly what has happened to the Lundy Family.

After all the support this whole family gave to PSF and now they are being used as pawns.
Its an utter disgrace, One wonders where all this information from 2005 suddenly came to light, and, the trumped up charge of 2012, are the spies still within PSF, I don't think they will ever get rid of them, or, they just want to keep them within their little toe the line group. Alan jnr should be released forthwith.

2012-07-22T22:47:12.634+01:00

Mackers,
Ardoyne and the contiunued resistance to orange marches is a cross which Sinn Fein would be quite happy to dump in the nearest loyalist bonfire.
Ardoyne cannot be trampled down and delivered to the chief constable the way the Upper Springfield has.
With total respect to the Upper Springfield residents, what is passed off over here every year as a form of protest is nothing more than Sinn Fein window dressing.
The whole event on the Springfield Road is stage managed and choreographed to the extent, if anyone steps out of line and crosses the pre-designated protest area it will be a shinners fist in their face not a cops.
Yet, people turn out to this farce every year and actively protest in a way that gives credence to a nonsense event.
Sinn Fein do not have the strangle-hold in Ardoyne that the have in Clonard and the Springfield and it is an embarrassment to them.
Alan Lundy is not in gaol for anything he has done, he is in prison because Sinn Fein cannot deliver Ardoyne.

cant help wondering if bik and mccabe were being genuine when they called to the lundy family home on thursday and if they were im sure they must have had a right redder when they heard what gerry kelly had to say to the family on friday.The ruc/pissni officer who has pointed alan out for the 2005 offence is a regular host in the local sf run crj office,so i think the shinners know more about this case than there letting on and you would never guess who is the paid worker in that office Big h brother????fucking stinking.
