Comment by TUV Leader Jim Allister QC on the PSNI in Libya controversy.

“PSNI officers unite with Libyans in policing, DUP unite with IRA/Sinn Fein in government. Where is the distinction which warrants DUP politicians, of all people, jumping up and down about the PSNI’s shameful association with those inextricably linked with practitioners of terrorism?

“If it is wrong to sanitise Libya, as the suppliers of weapons of death, and it is, then, it is at least equally wrong to handhold the users of those same weapons in government! Hence, much of what we are hearing from the DUP on this issue is cant and hypocrisy.

“So, yes, the PSNI officers should be withdrawn from Libya, but so too should the DUP withdraw from their shameful association much closer to home.”
