I'm not going to be around for a few days..., so in order to keep this thread visible (unless we could make it a PermaThread...!!!???), I would respectfully ask some kind soul(s) to refresh it every once in a while.

I do not want this subject brushed aside, because we have heard enough about what 'We' should do, and not enough about what other 'factions' should be cajoled into doing, themselves.

Thank you very much, Dave and Keith. Your 'putting your neck out' on this one is greatly appreciated by me, and I'm sure (though I can't speak for them) the rest of the Nationalist posters on his forum.

Every little bit helps

Slán go fóill.

Everyone calls for the Nationalists' weapons, bunnahabhain.

Do you not think it's about time to pressure on the Loyalists, for a change?

Sound, Keith.
Good on you ;-)

Bunnahabhain, you are quite correct but the nationalist side have been decommisioning weapons as part of the Good Friday Agreement. It has never been incumbent on loyalists to give up their weapons. What's good for the goose has also got to be good for the gander. Thank you Dave and Keith sincerely. Den

I nicked Dave's letter and sent it as mine.

Wouldn't ' ALL TERRORIST weapons off the street NOW' be a even better idea?

Let your keyboard do the talking then, PP.

Dave was kind enough to publish his mail here, although I wasn't going to go so far as to request that from people.

A simple '... mail has been sent', would suffice.

As the nationalists have decommissioned the Wolf Tones it's only fair that the other side put James Galway out of reach.

Dear Hazel Blears,

Congratulations on retaining your seat in the recent election and on
your promotion to the privy council. We once met when you were on
Salford Council and spoke at some length about your support for our
local folk festival. I hope you will agree on a more global and more
important issue!

It has come to my attention recently that while a lot of airtime is
being given to the decommisioning of arms by the Nationalist factions
in Northern Ireland very little seems to be being devoted to the
disarming of the Loyalist para-military groups. I am sure you will
agree that all such armed politics must cease and as such you will
press for equal pressure to be put on all sides to get rid of the
legacies of violence.

I look forward to your support for any moves which will help bring
peace to Ireland and to your reply.

Yours sincerely,

Dave Polshaw

This is a thread to which people can post to say that they've written to their MPs requesting that pressure must be put on the Loyalist Paramilitaries to decommission their weapons verifiably.

Who's first?
