Calls for shoot to kill

Elliot’s comments a cause for concern

Today’s comments by Fermanagh UUP MLA Tom Elliot that savings in the British security budget for the occupied six counties should be used to fund covert units of the British Army to ‘Wipe out’ the threat from Republicans sounds suspiciously like a call for the SAS and other such units to re-engage in the practice of ‘shoot to kill’ against Republican separatists.

The calls for an additional £114 million to be allocated to the British Army units is cause for concern, particularly in the Fermanagh area where by their own admission, the RUC/PSNI have been forced of the roads and it has been revealed that covert British Army units are already established to counter the threat posed by Irish Republicans.

The British security apparatus is already investing vast sums into the targeting and harassment of Republicans, their families and the wider Republican/Nationalist community across the six counties and calls for even more money to be made available are a tactit admission that the normalisation process is not going to plan, it is also proof, if it were needed, that Britain most certainly does have political, strategic and economic reasons for being in this part of Ireland.

While all IRA volunteers and other insurgents fighting the British occupation in Ireland are aware of and accept the risk of death, it is our fear that allocating more resources to British killer gangs and comments like those of Tom Elliot could well result in the deaths of innocent nationalists and political activists as has happened so many times in out recent history.
