Windsor Derry Visit Condemned

A visit by the Queen of England – Elizabeth Windsor, and her husband Philip to Derry City has been condemned by Republican Sinn Féin.

A visit by the Queen of England – Elizabeth Windsor, and her husband Philip to Derry City has been condemned by Republican Sinn Féin.

A spokesman for the organisation, who witnessed the massive security operation in place before they landed, said that she was unwelcome in the city where her Paratroopers murdered fourteen men on Bloody Sunday.

“A massive security operation was in place all day around Campsie and Eglinton. Now the purpose of the operation has become clear.

“RUC personnel in both Land Rovers and unmarked cars were in the area in strength. Helicopters were also hovering over the area all day. A motorcade eventually emerged with a huge number of motorcycles with lights flashing.

Another eyewitness in the vicinity of the airport said that snipers were on top of the rooftops at the airport before Mrs. Windsor walked over to a motorcade and was driven off at speed.

The spokesman added that “Derry is the place where her army murdered fourteen people on Bloody Sunday. It is also still held under British jurisdiction at the point of a gun. As such, she is not welcome in Derry or indeed in any part of Ireland.”

Don't have anything against Liz personally, but I can understand why some people in
Derry would be angry about the visit.

Mind you, any sensible person would be annoyed at a visit from her oafish husband.....

Liz is welcome here in Waterford!, Charles dropped into Lismore a couple of years back and got a friendly reception, I don't think RSF xenophobia would put many people off.

I really would like to know what considered intimate opinions her majesty has on the weather, the price of potatoes, and the climatic advantages of riding motor bikes rather than Rolls Royce cars. Other than that I would be indifferent to a royal visit to our shores.
