Business as Usual

Racism and unionism the hypocrisy lives on.

Last week it was reported in some of the press that in counties Armagh and Down, unionist paramilitaries and their business allies in the "protestant" community had been exploiting migrant workers.

Unionist politicians have since the GFA, paid lip service to the inherent racism in their community.

The sustained racist campaign by loyalists aginst the ethnic minority communities in the six counties since 1996, has mirrored their commitment in keeping sectarianism alive in the six counties.

The silence of respectable unionist politicians to the sectarianism of their paramilitary allies is well documented. However the blatant racism within the unionist community has rarely been highlighted.

The rationale being that condemnation of this community will only make the situation worse...unionism's inherent bigotory is the oldest elephant in the living room...ignored and rarely explored in the mainstreamed media

The criminals of the unionist community who have been active in the sex slave industry, migrant worker exploitation and racist intimidation of those ethnic minorities they could not control, are supported and financed by "respectable" members of the unionist community.

The hypocrisy of the unionist paramilitaries in demanding white and protestant only areas, while importing and exploiting migrant workers has been exposed again.

When will it be stopped ?
