Letter: Criminal Cromwell
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: Thomas McFadden (letter, 29 January) fails to grasp the situation in Northern Ireland, when he differentiates between Sinn Fein and the IRA, the latter being "not a signatory to the agreement". The IRA and Sinn Fein are two sides of the same republican coin: Sinn Fein provides the public relations veneer to the IRA terror campaign whilst the IRA provides the threat of force needed to lend weight to Sinn Fein's political argument.
To Sinn Fein/IRA, the Good Friday agreement has presented carte blanche to tighten their grip on their communities through intimidation and brutality whilst at the same time providing ministerial positions in the Northern Ireland executive. Why must the Government feel bound to preserve the "peace process" at all costs when British citizens in Ulster cannot rely on the Government to enforce the rule of law?
