Councillor in Britain
Maghera Sinn Fein Councillor John Kelly has just returned from a
short speaking tour of England organised by the Troops Out
Movement.
At public meetings in Sheffield, Chesterfield, Birmingham and
Leicester he said the Good Friday Agreement was not a document
that Sinn Fein could sign up to, but represented a move towards
the dismantling of the unionist state and would be used
tactically by the party.
``We are not going to surrender, nor is it a sell-out,'' he said.
``It is another phase in the struggle towaerds a united Ireland. I
believe we are on the right path and the wind of change is on our
backs.
``We are going forward in a very strong, confident and united way.
I can see it heralding the end of British rule in the Six
Counties''.
While in Chesterfield, Councillor Kelly met local Labour MP Tony
Benn, who has long campaigned for Britain's withdrawal from the
Six Counties.
Mr Benn said the peace talks document was a transitional
agreement and the first phase of British withdrawal from Ireland.
It took power from the British Crown and gave it to the people of
Ireland.
