However, there are still a few points that have to be made in relation to Celtic. The lack of depth in the first team squad is becoming more apparent as the season reaches it’s climax. Tired legs, tired spirits and tired excuses are on show. From the second half of the 1-1 draw with Dundee United to our Scottish Cup exit and league defeat to the Huns, the team has looked jaded. In the first half of the cup match against the Huns, with a decent finisher, Celtic could have had the game dead and buried Harald Bratbaak showed no signs in this game that he is anything other than a very ordinary player. His first touch is absolutely woeful, I can’t remember him hitting a single shot, never mind actually hitting the target during the match. Most of his challenges ended in free kicks being awarded to Rangers In the 2-0 league defeat he was even worse. He didn’t kick a ball. Maybe he needs time to settle, but we needed a striker this season not next season ‘There's no doubting his pace and, ithe gets the right kind of ball to run onto, he looks alright - but that has not been the kind of service that he has been getting. Instead the ball is being chipped through to him in the expectation that he will bring it down, control it and make his own chances That just ain’t gonna happen! Not with the lack of control and terrible first touch that Harald has. Much has been made of how much Fergus has spent on the team. £11 million net at the last count, However when you examine the out-zoings and the income spent (players bought and sold) it seems to balance out. Where has the 29% of Celtic's tumover promised for buying players gone? In the second half of the season the only players to come to Celtic haye been Brathaak and Kevin Pilkington (on Joan from Manchester United). On the other hand, in the same period we have seen the departure of Andy Thom and Stuart Gray, McLaughlin and MeCondichie on loan; and Stuart Kerrand Tommy Johnson out injured for long periods. Add to that the earlier situation with -Jackson’s injury problem and: the recent loss of first team players like MacNamara, Stubbs and Wieghorst, and you see a large hole in the first team squad at the most vital point in the season. Obviously some of these injunes were impossible but every single fan at Parkhead this season knows that, with the injuries and suspensions, we are short of one player in every department of the team: defence, midfield and attack. A bit of foresight allied to the required financial resources might have ma to foresee, he fi part of the campaign a bit less nerve wracking Wim Jansen it must be said has performed wonders in moulding the team into a unit. At the moment it looks like Wim's system of play and tactics may not be enough to carry the team through this important spell. The timing of the uncertainty over his contract and his “T don’t know where Tl be next season” statement could not have come at a worse time. Let's face it with friends like Brown and McCann, who needs enemies? And. whether or not this is another of Jock and Fergus’ cock-ups or whether itis down to Jansen’s own insecurity doesn’t really matter. The simple fact is that it has not helped the team at this vital stage of the season. The drop in form and Jansen’s uncertainty went hand in hand. Celtic should have responded immediately by making the best coach we've had since Ceaser’s last “sacking, an offer he couldn't refuse, However, it may be that he was only ever seen as a one year interim appointment until. Jock ‘and. Fergus came up with a mediocre altemanive. Afterall, Jock Brown did actually state Publicly last summer that Celtic contd employ a ‘stop gap’ manager for a year until they (ie. him and Fergus) 0% the man they wanted. We could still end up with Jock’s wee brother Craig yer! The teams transformation under Tansen has been a breath of fresh air. It is testament. to Jansen’s methods that it is mainly Celtic players who will be fighting it out for Player of the Year am this season, Jonny Gould, Alan Stubbs, Jackie MacNamara, Craig Burley and Henrik Lamson are all likely candidates. My own preference would be Jonathan Gould, surely. the From Bradford's third team to the verge ofa World Cup dream as our best keeper for many Let's hope that he gets. his ance in France and has already collected the Player of the Year award before he gets there! find of the season years.Alan Stubbs is another pl d. We knew from what we had been told that Stubbs was a player some class, but to be honest his real did not shine through until we signed Mare Reiper. From then on Stubbs looked like the replacement for aul Elliot in the heart of defence that we have been looking for since the big Celtic. Smbbs” future has en uncertain at times with all sorts f “unsettled” doing the ie should do everything stories ssible to hang on to this guy ckié MacNamara has been the standing playmaker for three. quarters of the season.

Our difficulties in the pant of the season are due in no small part to the fact that Jacke Mac as been injured. Burley has proved all of his tractors wrong.

He has also adopted a never say ipproach which saw him take the against Rangers in h he was carrying shouldn’t have et on or off the field, jocks, In the end, it Burley who popped up to get the consolation goal jury time. Lionhearted when it comes to was inevitably Craig Henrik Larson too is a player who has been central to the new: Celtic side under Wim Jansen. Even though his form has ebbed in the latter part of the season, and the goals have dried up. since his role has altered to provider rather than main striker, Henrik. still has the ability to tum a game with a simple flick of the toe. This guy is class: fast, skilful, intelligent and hard working. A model professional as well as being one of the team’s genuine stars’, will he stay of go with Wim? Although 1 have singled out patticulat players for praise and criticism, it is obvious that the change in fortune this year lias been down to the fact that the side play well together as a unit, No more pha donnas, even though the odd one or two might. not be an entirely bad thing. Jansen, along with Murdo McLeod, bas instilled a discipline and fightng spirit that appeared to be lacking under Tommy Bums. He has, in his own way and by. his own methods, tumed around the situation from one of despair to one of hope. Like every other TAL reader 1 was downhearted after the Hun games, but of Darkness.

In Luton recently, Matt denied that tiere has been any campaign waged Dy the club against supporters clubs who leave from pubs playing live Irish Rebel ‘music and pledged himself to taking up the issue in his Pravda column “if it could be proved”. Well Matt, deny this: if there is mo such campaign why has Fergus McCann recently requested from Strathclyde Police, a list of pubs in the Glasgow area which play “Irish Patriotic Music” 2 Why was a letter from Celtic recently sent to a well known Irish bar on the Southside asking what kind of music was played there and requesting information on Celtic supporters buses ‘which are associated with the pub? Why has a Dublin Supporters Club been threatened wih a cut in their ticket allocation after Celtic claimed to have received a complaint about rebel tapes being played from one day-tripping individual who travelled on their bus for the New Year fixture against the Huns?

Simple-minded happens to be my middle name, Just ask Fergus, if you don’t believe me. As for the Wim Jansen situation. 1 would like to answer the seurrilous smears in the press which have suggested that the relationship between myself and Wim has recently deteriorated. This is a downright lie. 1 can quite categorically state that Wim and I never had @ relationship in the first place! Anyone who says any different can see ‘me in court, where I will be most happy to represent them. 1 End the insinuation that we are about to replace Wim with my brother Crag after the World Cup a quite preposterously tue one which myself and the Blessed Fergus have had up our sleeves for a long time.

This season was different. True, we didn’t get off f0 the best of starts against them, But watching the team develop 1s a unit gave us hope where there had bbeen none, The first league defeat to the Huns was especially hard to take because they had employed the services of a man who departed in tears from them last season admitting that his best days for the Huns were well in the past. What happens? They bring Gough back from America and, the Afrikaner not only slots straight back into their team, as though he had never been atway, he even pops up to score the winner! in the next game, we were assured that Celtic had overcome their aiveté and were now in a position to take on their old rivals and play them at their own game, Frankly, 1 thought that we were worse and even more naive inthis match than we were in the first encounter of the However, we did manage to scrape a last minute draw and our league ‘campaign appeared to be given the boost it needed and our form picked up. After this in the league we managed to put together a good winning run and play with a style confidence and consistency that had been lacking in other campaigns. So confident, in fact, that most Celtic supporters could season. t wait for the New Year to come around and yet another chance to do the Huns presented itself tous ew Year, and the Huns came to Paradise and got roasted like Christmas turkeys.

How many matches we watched over the last few y where Celtic's flair and grac: outshone by Rangers deadlines. in front of goal? That has been the story of Celtic under Brady, Bums, Macani et al, Under Wim Jansen, supposed to be different. Here was the it was wily old fox, the master tactician, whe had humiliated the Huns at the New Year. After an hour we had run out of steam and ideas, and the Huns made us pay dearly for it. A team that had contributed absolutely nothing to the game were able to simply step up a gear and make their fitness dnd stamina count. Two goals out of nothing and all our inventiveness and ingenuity stood for nothing. MeCoist should never have been allowed the The Han Games space to get the frst goal. Mare Reiper should have had him under wraps but instead took his eye off him and the 85 year old striker, zimmer fiame and all gets the first goal for the Huns cewise, the Albertz oul was one Ahat could have been closed down three times by the midtield and the defence. As Steve MacManaman demonstrated in the EUFA Cup match with Liverpool, Celtic are most vulnerable when an opposing. player with pace runs from the midfield diogonally through the centre of our defence, Our central defenders appear to be extremely comfortable when the ball is in the air. Reiper will normally just nod the ball down to Stubbs who is our most accomplished footballer at the back. However, apart from Annoni, our defenders are not able to cope with a player of pace coming directly at them. You would ha that someone might hav ought this to their attention after the game and made the adjustments. If that was a sight, then the identical Js on consecutive weeks pe defence was inept. TAME ee eee Cem tehe goal in the first game, as 1 said already, could have been dlosed down.

Brattbaak gets ess impressive with every game he plays. He has all the skill and finesse of Gerry Creaney. (and that’s ‘an insult 10 Gerry Creanes!) Davie Hay, on the day of the game referred tohim as“. the enigma that is Harald Bratbaak”. Could you not have told us that before you recommended the enigma” to us? T watched Bratbaak pay for Rosenburg in the Champions League and was very excited at the prospect of this ‘prolific’ goal scorer ‘coming to Celtic. A few months on, I reckon that we could have inv a decent home grown prof who would have done a steady and ‘more productive job for us in attack We were crying out for a striker that could come in, adapt to Jansen’s system, and start banging in the goals immediately. Instead we seem to have bought a ‘lash in the pan’ who may well have hidden talent that only intensive coaching sessions are likely to discover. How long must we wait Harald??? fler the game, Walter Smith said that he still regarded Celtic as having the easier run-in of the two sides and said that he felt Celtic were still the favourites’ for the title. 1 don’t know if Smith is playing mind games d la Alex Ferguson, but there is aa method to his madness somewhere - playing up the hopes of your greatest enemy at the same time as playing down the expectations of your own fans, [ wouldn't be fooled by Smith’s words.

(Red Dwarf 2The Celtic-Minded Story] ‘When Davie Hay dared to suggest that those in chiatge of Celtic PLC were not sufficiently *Celtic-minded’ enough, he was routinely denounced as a Catholic bigot by those to whom his comments were aimed. Quite simply, Hay articulated what many of us feel about the people running Celtic. 1 don’t think bigotry had much to do with Hays remarks and, as a non- Catholic Celtic supporter, 1 can understand exactly what he was getting at. It has less to do with religion and more to do with a gut feeling for Celie and its roots in an immigrant community You see, that’s what I reckon is partly at the root of our problems, You just get the sense sometimes that the club doesn’t mean to the players and officials at Celtic Park, @ fraction of what it means to the fins. When we talk about players and officials not being Celticsminded’ enough. we're not tulking about Catholicism. There are enough non-Catholies involved in this finzine to knock that little bit of slanderous jigaery-pokery by MeCann & Co on the head. What we mean by ‘eltic-minded’ sre those that will ive, breathe and die for this club. The that pulled on that jersey andl Inew what the history of our club meant to the people on the terraces and stands. The term Celtic-minded applies as much to Stein, Wallace, Auld, Dalglish, McGrain and Provan (to name but 6) as it does to any Catholic who pulls on the hoops. The reason why there may have been questions raised about — the “George Douglas. commitment of certain officials and. players to Celtic’s cause this season is pethaps because they appear to be passionless about the club. There are too many people at Celtic Park right now who are content to draw a wage and see Celtic remain second best to Rangers, These people - and, wait for it, some of them are even Catholics! - have never known what it was like to stand on the terraces for all those years through thick and thin, good times and bad. The players are the least of our ‘worries because it seems to be those in the highest positions within the chib hierarchy who seem to be the least perturbed by our poor performances ‘on the field of play. Why?9? Well, for starters, how ean an ‘avowed’ and “alleged” supporter of Hamilton Accies for most of his life suddenly know ‘what it means to be a Celtic supporter? Celtie will never run through the veins ‘of someone like that, That isn’t bigotry, it’s just common sense, You can’t change @ lifelong commitment fiom one football eam to another just because it happens to be your job and in your financial interests .Now he spends “Are we fucking mad or what?” Yl guarantee that Brown, Douglas, MeLean und MeCann didn’t lose any sleep after the two recent defeats by Rangers. They seem to be content to watch the commercial side of the club flourish, bask in the glow of political non-entities who encourage their latest PR stunt against their own fans and count the money that they are actually taking out of the club, Jock Brown gots a very good wage from the money that we put into the club. So does the guy who duplicates his PR job, Peter McLean - who, incidentally always was and always will be a Hun at heart, no matter what Fergus’ apologists from the Bhoyzone fanzine say about him. “A nice wee guy...” indeed! used to spend his time nicking Celtic fans outside the} ground for such gross misdemeanours| jas being drunk or pissing against a! wall... his time getting his private security firm to| throw our fans out of their stadium.” Fergus MeCann will not only walk away from the club with in excess of £35million when he goes, but he also, a8 a ‘working’ managing director, takes a very substantial wage from the club at present George Douglas, perhaps the biggest earpetbagger of all, used to spend his time nicking Celtic fans outside the ground for such gross misdemeanours as being drunk or pissing against a wall, Just as the old board were going, and Fergus was coming in, the bold George ‘privatised’ the stewarding operation at Parkhead. Now he spends his time getting the his private security firm to throw our fans out of their own stadium. Are we fucking mad or what? This guy actually had the nerve to tum up on the doorstep of a wee boy who rran onto the park last year to read the riot act to his parents, repossess his season ticket, and tell the wee man that ‘he was banned from Celtic Park. He better know what to expect if he ever shows his face near my fucking door, ‘know what 1 mean Gearge? Wee boys fare more his measure though. ‘These same people have the cheek to lecture the rest of us about bigotry and what it means 0 be a Celtic supporter. Would that they knew or even had the slightest clue as to what it means to be a Celtic supporter? J well remember Jock Stein threatening. to ram the microphone of a Radio Clyde commentator up his arse after one such defeat: “We all know where your allegiances lie”, said “eltie= an understanding of what this club means toall of us. Big Jock had it. Kenny had it, Danny had it. Nothing to do with religion, more to do with class and background and identity As Billy MeNeil recently stated in an interview with Sky's Celtie Park Hour: “We (the Lisbon Lions) couldn't believe how lucky we were. Here we were playing for the team that most of us supported anyway and getting paid for it! That’s how we always saw ourselves. We saw ourselves as an extension of the supporters. If we weren't playing we would have been up there on the terraces with them.”errr) Anti-Fascist Action Statement to Conpargr Against Seranae ‘tacks Publi Meeting. Glasgow, Feb ‘98 We extend te greetings of Ant Fascist Action to this meeting and pledge our continued support for the Campaign Against Sectarian Attacks and the Celtie Fans Against Fascism organisation. ‘With our experience of fighting. against organised feist groups in Scolland, England, Wales and Ireland, there is n0 doubt in the minds of AFA members that there is a common thread to the type of attacks that have been witnessed recently Look at any racist lack and compare it to these sectarian attacks and you will see an undeniably similar’ method of operation. The only dlferences between rice alacks and sectarian attacks are the organisations which directly benefit from them. By this we mean thatthe organisations. which benefit from racist atacks, whether random or organised. are in the long min the fascists of the National Front and the British National Pany. In Scotland, the direst beneficiaries of sectarian attacks are Joyalist corganisatons such as the UVF UDA and the LVF. Increasingly however loyalist’ and fascist organisations have become virtually indistingnishable from each other, having a cross. over of members strategy and tactics In England, to be a fascist is to be a loyalist, and to be a loyalist is to be 2 fascist, In Scotland, the differences between the two are merely ‘organisational, and sometimes not even ‘that cleat. At last year’s general election, all ten of the signatories who proposed the BNP candidate in Shettlesion were ‘members of fascist or loyalist groups, ‘The same story in Govan and Clydesdale (where all of the BNP’s proposers came from the notoriously loyalist town of Larkhall), ‘The fascists and the loyalists network fogether, organise together and march fogether In April, 1996, London AFA ‘mobilised against a Combat 18 stewarded loyalist march in London. A confrontation took place between Anti- Fascist Action stewards and a group of fascists and loyalists who were drinking, Aogether in the White Hart pub in Central London. Interestingly, the loyalist Mute band which came off worst in this the Pride of Govan "Bund from Glasgow who were there under the patronage of the paramilitary fascist group Combat 18. Combat 18's leader Charlie Sargent, who boast of his friendship with UFF arsassn and leading loyalis. prisoner, Johnny Adam was himself recently sentenced to life for rmrder Sargent is mot alone among fascist leaders who have a direct connection to loyalism. Terry Blackham the current ‘activities’ organiser of the National Front has only recently been released from jail afer serving a four year sentence for UDA gun-running. Among Blackham's supporters who visited him whilst he was in a Scottish prison were loyalists. from Bridgeton. Frank Portinari and Eddie Whicker are another two NF members with connections and, in Portinari’s ease convictions for loyalist gun running Going futher back, in the mid-1980's, 2 ‘Neo-Nazi rock band called ‘Offensive ‘Weapons’, played concerts in Belfast and London in aid of Loyalist Prisoners to exclusively fascist audiences. Two of the bands members were called John Adair and Sam MeCrory. When Mo Mowiam, the Northem Ireland secretary recently visited the Maze Prison to discuss difficulties over the loyalist ceasefire, two of the four UFF prison leaders that she held talks with were the notorious Johnny Adair and his leader, Sam MeCrory MoCrory, incidentally, sports a ‘White Power" taitoa on his right forearm, You ‘can understand then, that it is with some confidence that AFA. can say that half the leadership of the UFF in Long Kesh are notorious Neo-Nazis, All of this information points to the fact that loyalist and fascist organisations ‘operating in Britain are inextricably Knked both —organisationally and femme emilee em tater Campaign Against Sectarian Attacks politically, Jason Campbell, the man who murdered a 16 year old Celtic fan, whilst probably not formally a member of any organisation on the far tight nonetheless shared a common goal and method with them, To terrorise and subjugate a minonty community ‘The question for this mecting is how do Wwe fight such attacks, In order to fight against the perpetrators of such attacks ‘we must first find out who they are. That means @ gathering of information on loyalists and fascists who ate likely 19 be engaged in or directing the assanls. We also need to have every attack no matter hhow minor reported to an independent body. The police have shown their colours by denying that the attacks are even taking place. No matter whether itis spilting, punching, kicking, or stabbing we need to know what is happening in frder that we can take preventative action Its important ay well that our actions, are well organised. The press, as has been shown by the witch-hunting article in the Daily Record, are rarely on the side of those who stand up against such hatred, The mere mention that people should be prepared to physically defend themselves Is enough for the press to turn victims into aggressors, the architects of thelr own misfortune, However, that doesn't mean that We should not he prepared to fight back physically when necessary The reaction of the Daily Record to the first Celnc Fans Against Fascism leafle: was not only hysterical, it was part of an orchestrated campaign (0 outlaw anti-fascism. ‘Throughout Europe the same thing is happening. As society moves further to the right it is no longer fashionable for journalists to hound far right groups. Instead it is anti- fascists who have become the victims of press smears, Ina récent editorial a Danish Dauly newspaper commented: “/t is not the violent rhetoric of the fascists that 1s the problem, ut is the actual violence of the anticfascists that is the problem Increasingly it will be people like those at this meeting who bear the brunt of attacks from the state, as well as their lapdogs in the tabloid press, Our organisation, AFA. has already ad an international conference tamed and disrupted by press smears insigated by a Labour ‘council, operating to a right wing agenda ‘That is what we are up against, That is why the police can so brazenly dismiss and deny the numbers of sectarian attacks.

It was Anli-Fascist Action rather than the were hounded for hours on the day by police With the state increasingly adopting, the agenda of the far right, it is obvious to us that to expect the police to do anything out racism or sectarian attacks is futile In light of this it is necessary to draw a line in the sand and say ‘shis far and no further’. ‘The only people capable of stopping fascist altacks and murders are those in this room tonight and those outside who we can convince of our approach.

Even when 16 year old supporter. Mark Scott, was nmrdered in Bridgeton by Jason Campbell, the club remained silent. The latest attack on ther Celie supporter, Sean ‘was nothing less than allempted murder, The response of the club to Sean’s attack Was to issue no statements to the press and offer no advice to fins through the club's own newspaper. The Celtic View The only response that Celt did make to Sean's attack, after publicity appeared in the newspapers, was to send him a copy of the Social Mission Statement and to olfer him free tickets to the director's box for a subsequent home game. After being stabbed in the neck by a loyalist, it is hhardly relevant to send the victim @ copy of the club's policy on bigotry Itis only when campaigns and meet like thas are organised by fans themselves hat the Cele PR machine goes into ‘overdrive, not io suppor. such initiatives Dut to denigrate them.

The club see only one colour when it comes to the question of bigotry and unfortunately that colour appears to be green. Yet, the fact Temains that in the Glasgow area, most and the physical attacks which accompany it, is actually anti- Catholic and anti-rish It is not even hhanded and bigotry cannot always be defined as two sides of the Sometimes: the coin ids, at the same time ‘amplistcal double-headed one. As for our own fanzine which esponses an unashamed republican outlook, we have often been accused of sectarianism ourselves. Again, we would argue that it depends who is pointing the Finger, and from where, that defines what a particular person thinks constitutes bigotry. Bigotry it Seems is m the eye of the behold Does arguing for a tinited Ireland make us bigots? Does supporting the trish people's right to selt-determination make us bigots? Does supponing Sinn Fein’s Tight to be at the negotiating table in the Peace Process make us bigots? We don't think $0 and neither do a substantial umber of Celic supporters who buy our fanzine. It seems that the met support for Irish Republicanism, and sometimes even just being prepared to openly debate the issue of Ireland, is ngh to have you denounced and exposed in sections of the Scottish media Look at the Daily Record’s reaction 10 his campaign. The mere existence of @ ‘campaign that might challenge and defest the attacks of loyalist bigots is treated with alarm. I's organisers, in this case Celtic Fans Against Faselsm, are denounced as “terovisis, thugs hardliners and vigilantes” A pub where a box number is registered is exposed by the same paper. All of the methods that We have come to recognise as those of the tabloid guter press. Tt would be[err funny were it not so irresponsible. By ‘exposing the box number address, the Daly Record reporter leaves innocent people in fear and danger from further Ssectanan attacks. It shouldbe remembered that on the anniversary of Jason Campbell's uncle's death, the UVF bomber, "Big Bill” Campbell, three Irish Pubs in Glasgow were firebombed ‘Compare this to the initially sympathetic treatment of Sean O'Connor alter the ‘k by the Daily Record and their previously sterling reporting of the Jason Campbell affair and you have a case for arguing that certain sections of the press in the West of Scotland not only live off the issue of sectarianism, they actually promote it, The attitude seems to be one of “Can't live with them, can't make a living without them Tt is no itony that the same reposter who \wrole the smear story against Celtle Fans Against Fascism, less than two weeks later penned a two page article boasting of her visit to the “inner sanctum’ of the Loyalist Volunteer Force. Was this her reward from the most sectarian group of loyalists in the north of Ireland for her recent smear of Celtic Fans Against Fascism? We believe that this issue of campaigning against the sectarian attacks on should u supporters.

Anna Smith is obviously an authority on imsanity rea We do not know whether her agenda is, completely her own, It could be a combination of her editors, the police or the ‘powers-that-be’ at Celiic Park. We also suspect that some of her information has been supplied by people who like to ‘ink that they are “Jef wing”, such is the jealousy and hatred of this fanzine and Celtic supporters in general. It is interesting to note that a few years ago using exactly the same method of tracing, PO Box numbers. which she describes as, ‘standard journalistic practice”, a certain Anna Smith who at the time was ‘working for the Sunday Times Scotland, ‘attempted to make contact with Red Action with regard to an article on their Irish Republican links. Red Action ignored her calls, but it seems that her pursuit of Glasgow-based militant republicans is a recurring theme.

Despite the smears, 100 Celtic fans turned up for the first public meeting of the campaign and pledged themselves to the fight against loyalist allacks on Celtic porters. At other clubs such moves would be applauded. But not at Celtic. Is there collusion between the club and the press to denigrate the campaign?

Billy spoke recently to TAL's intrepid Interviewers, The Hammer and The Leyton Buzzard, who asked him about Ife on the outside, victims of Injustice, and his hopes for the Irlsh peace process. TAL: Firstly, how's life been for you since your release from ‘prison? Billy: Not too bad. I'm getting used to it, We are still fighting for a pardon and compensation ‘but after six years that matter still isn't settled, They've made a couple of offers but how do you puta price on those years? Spending 16 years in prison for something we hadn’t done. It's nol just about money. My children lost their father and 1 lost the chance to be a father to them, So far, their estimates of compensation have been derisory in our opinions, {fat gets settled will you stay ‘in Britain? At the moment 1 don't know although ulimately 1 have always felt that I'd go back to Ireland. Probably 10 Cork or Dublin. Again, it depends on how things go with the legal claims that we are pursuing. What do you think about how you were fted up? ‘As you know, we were arrested fon our way to the funeral of @ republican in Belfast, We never hid the fact tha we had republican sympathies or that friends of ours had been involved in things. Personally T'm not really a supporter of violence, but ultimately, we all supported the goal of the Republican Army which is a united Ireland. We were stopped ‘on the way over to the funeral LTR MTT ee ‘and false forensic evidence wae ‘used to convict us. And, even after release, 6 years later, we're still having to fight for basic rights How do you mean? Well, my wife has to work all the hours under the sun just to keep us going.

I've been all over the place speaking on the subject and so has Paddy Hill who I think you've met on his travels to Glasgow What do you think about the Peace Process in the north of Ireland? I think that this is the best chance since the war started to bring about a fair setlement of the conflict. 1 think that Gerry Adams has emerged out of this head and shoulders above the other party leaders atthe talks, 1 also believe that Bertie Ahern has played a more constructive role than his predecessor, Bruton, who seemed always to be more a home in the company of the unionists than the nationalists. Ultimately, the border has to go. In the rest of Europe borders are becoming Jess important from the point of view of trade, Even on economic grounds it's hard to argue against the north becoming part of the economy of a united Ireland. England no longer represents the answer 19 the unemployment problems of the north or the south. They have their own unemployment problem thanks to the legacy of Thatcher. Less people are moving over in search of work, prefernin communsties, Maybe that's why the Catholic population in the nnotth is booming?! According to the census of 1991, they reckon that the Catholics would be the majority in the north inside 20 years. I think that took even the British government and the fo stay in their own unionists by surprise. There hadn't been a census for 20 years, you see, because the tuationalists boyeotied the last fone. That could be why the rush want rather tan wait, Becanse, even based on—_—popullation calculations, it looks like we're heading for a united tretand, negotiate now Lastly, What do you think of the Sancine? T dunk it's great, From my point of view. I espectally like the fact azine regularly uff about the yublican prisoners and other prisoners who are victims of the unjust British legal system When you're inside and a magazine like this comes and you see your name in it, you immediately get a lif [think ‘maybe you could expand on that part of it and start featuring a few more of the injustive cases in a bit more detail. It's also, of course, about the supporters ‘making themselves heard. Cole's an Irish chub, they'll never change tha, and TAL reflects the feelings of most supporters that { talk to on this issne of Celtic's roots, | Motherwell Road, Bels Drop in for a ‘Sunday Session with Shebeen Live Irish Music Every Sunday Afternooneee ae ea “1 Tiocfaidh ir Feggin’ La The all-party talks reached their conclusion and were hailed by the British, Irish and American governments asa “historic breakthrough”. Among Irish Republicans and their supporters, however, there is some confusion about what exactly is on offer. There hhas been speculation about arms decommissioning, disbanding the RUC and the possible early release of prisoners, with ‘conditions’ of course. It is important, however, to ‘and see that a bigger political picture to be drawn which puts the media hype about the ‘agreement’ in the proper context. It is right to be sceptical about the sincerity of the Bnts and the Free Stuters, but it is also right to be confident of the abilities of those who have led the Republican strugele for the past three decades. It 1s also important to recognise that the people who forced the Brits into negotiations with Sinn Fein were the volunteer soldiets of the IRA. The British Establishment was bombed to the negotiating table. And, when they made coneessions to unionism which ended the first ceasefire, they were bombed back to the negotiating table. That in essence was the logical conclusion of the armed struggle. The Republican Movernent wanted. their Britain) to recognise their litical representatives, acknowledge cit right to argue for self mination: and recognise their t to negotiate a political settlement re ts a question that can be put those various e conservative British (who never supported the IRA on. and who have ‘ceasefire uite seriously to denly become Nees) to those quasi-religious republican fundamentalists, who are falling over each other to shout ‘Sell Out!”. The question is, “What is your alternative?” The tus quo? If that is what they aare arguing for, and I've heard nothing from them to convinee me otherwise, it puts them in. the camp of the most reactionary BY clements in British and Irish society. That's what Paisley is arguing for and that is what night wing conservatives. and fascists have been arguing for It is also, interestingly enough, the position of the “securocrats” of the British secret state (MIS, SAS, RUC, Special Branch, ete.) Which camp would you rather be in? Anyone who thinks that Sinn Fein, by taking part in the talks process, were in @ position of weakness is. seriously mistaken, Remember that this whole process was actually kicked off by the Republican Movement. ‘The Hume/ Adams talks should really have been called the Adams/Hume talks because it was Sinn Fein rather than the SDLP who initiated the’ process. Republicanistn not only had an overall strategy. it also set the agenda throughout this phase of the struggle. Gerry Adams said at the end of the all party talks that it was not a historic ‘moment, only the start of another stage in the political process. We should listen carefully to what Adams and McGuinness are saying, rather than being fooled by the bluff and bluster of Trimble and Company. As Gerry Kelly, councillor, ex-prisoner, and a member of Sinn Fein's negotiating team said, on Easter Tuesday in Ardoyne, “We want a national democracy. We want a United Ireland. Does it (The Agreement) help or hinder it? That's the very basic question in all of this... This is our struggle. We're the experts on this issue.” Unionism will never be the same after these talks, The difforence between the negotiations of the 1990°s and those of the 1920's is that itis unionism rather than republicanism which is having to swallow the bitter pill of betrayal. ‘Trimble is caught between a rock and a hard place. He knows that the British Establishment want out and he also knows that they are prepared to abandon him, if he doesn’t tread carefully. Paisley looked like a tired old man outside Stormont when working class loyalists taunted and heckled him, This was significant because these are the very same people whom Paisley has always relied upon to deliver the hardline loyalist votes for the DUP. Unionism’s catchphrase word “No” is starting to ‘wear thin with just about everybody ‘The other sea-change may well be in Irish nationalism. In the 26 Counties, Sinn Fein have come from the position where, in the early “90°s, they were forced to hold theit Ard Fheis in a Dublin community centre due to a state ban. Now they are setting the political agenda in Ireland; certainly in the north, and they very soon will be in the south as well! The SDLP are worried that Sinn Fein may eat into their vote now that the war appears to be over, increasing their appeal to middle class nationalist voters. ‘Whatever happens there’s a lot more yet to be gone through than signing treaties and basking in the Brits’ illusory “peace” AS for decommissioning, even Billy Hutchison of the PUP/UVF wasn’t falling for that one. On his way out of the talks he commented — that ‘Decommissioning was never on the agenda. There won't be any weapons getting handed over by loyalists, and 1 don't expect you'll be getting any from the other lot either!” The forgotten man, John Major, has been wheeled back in by New Labour to promote this non-issue. This indicates that the Brits have already conceded that there will be no decommissioning this side of @ united Ireland, On this issue, it might be prudent to remember ‘what James Connolly said to the Irish Citizen's Army on the eve of the Faster Rising, “Hold on to your rifles. ak 6G) rey rm peter croc Me Meare) land relevant analysis off Ceo ec) Cre ron] Beer cnt 8 Red Action 69, 70, 72, 73, 75 Sees crete sry va)Dore ed INDI) Bo he oe Blas ‘appear on this cola vehan's cut there!
