WHAT CAN WE DO ?
ALL
HEREIN
DATE
If you are satisfied with the 'explanations' the media have been churning out for the last ten years there is nothing you can do but bury your head in the sand If you really want to see an end to the violence in Ireland you'll need to accept one of our arguments. We want troops out because we believe that only when the British army stops propping up Loyalist illusions will Loyalists begin to think in terms ofa united Irelandin keeping with the majority ofthe country And when we say 'Brits Out we also mean the dismantling of the armed 'security forces' who are at present being groomed to take their place at such time when the British army's presence becomes too embarrassing for the British government
BUTYOU WANT THEM TO LEAVE NOW? THATS IMPOSSIBLE THERE WOULD BE CHAOS!
The only further chaos troop withdrawal would cause would be in trying to cram all 25,000 of them onto one ferry. If you accept the right of the Irish people to self-determination; and if you agree that British troops are prolonging rather than stopping the violence; then it makes sense to call for their immediate withdrawal
APPEAL
Please belp us promote American awareness of the Irish struggle and assist in defraying legal expenses of Irish politica] prisoners in the United States.

A war The latest (and hopefully the last) ina series ofwars Irish have fought against British occupation since 1169 (with a mandate 'from an English Pope). If this war was going itwould be recognized as a war of National Independence But as it is going on in north-east Ireland a place supposed to be a part ofthe in any other British colony United Kingdom, it is considered an "insoluble problem" on
ISNT IT REALLY ABOUT RELIGION ?
No. In. the 1600's much of north-east Ireland was given to Protestant settlers who, because of their religion; could be relied on dispossessed Ever since, the Protestant or Loyalist enclaves have had a siege mentality; 'what we have we hold, and have seen the attempts by the majority of the Irish to freedom from Britain as attacks on both their religion and their position of economic dominance This has been useful to Britain, and to the Protestant bosses, who have been able to use religion to divide off the Protestant workforce from theirnatural allies, the Catholicworkforce. In Loyalist folklore; the nationalist minority in north-east Ireland gain occupy the role of 'natives.
SHOULDN'T WE RESPECT THE REMAIN BRITISH ?
Which majority are you talking about? The ProtestantLoyalist/Unionist majority in the North was created by Britain in 1921 with the partition of Irelandagainst the wishes ofthe majority of all the Irish people For 50 years the Loyalist majority had a state of their own where they were able to indulge their wishes bY oppressing the minority During most of that period there was no outcry from British Trade Unions or the Labor Movement 'against the denial of civil rights to the Catholics. But when the minority got off its knees and began-demanding its rights; the British army was sent in to preserve the state. Since then, successive British governments have solemnly pledged to "Keep Ulster British" , in line with the majority Ireland divided
