Statement by TUV Leader Jim Allister MEP
“This afternoon’s hijacking and burning spree confirms a pattern which I predicted, that as republican terrorists reassert themselves they will seek to demonstrate they can do everything the Provos perfected. The rundown in the police and security forces, all at the behest of Sinn Fein, has left us ill-equipped to deal with resurgent IRA violence.
Firm action is required to stamp out the spread of insurrection and violence on our streets. An under-manned police service, hampered further by political constraints, puts society in a weakened position, whereas the message that needs to go out is that this violence will be nipped in the bud by a robust policing response.”
