Martin McGuinness has told British Prime Minister David Cameron there is no consistency on the part of the British state on the issue of state killings.
Speaking at the launch of Sinn Fein’s Martina Anderson’s European election campaign in the Waterfoot Hotel in Derry last night, Mr McGuinness revealed he had spoken to the Mr Cameron only an hour earlier and told him the PSNI was duty bound to fully and energetically pursue all and every investigation.”
He told a packed meeting room:”I support and encourage them to do so.”
“But I know that some investigations are pursued more vigorously than others.
“I told the British Prime Minister David Cameron that in a phone call earlier tonight.
“The families of the 11 innocent victims murdered in cold blood by the Parachute Regiment in Ballymurphy, the victims of Bloody Sunday and those killed in the Dublin/Monaghan bombings which the British government are still withholding information on to this day are testament to this reality.
“Only this week the British government told the Ballymurphy families there would be no review of those murders.
“No re-investigation, no arrests, no compassion for their loss or grief and certainly no political consistency from the British state.”
“British forces are protected and immune. That’s why the British government has not signed up to the Haass proposals.”
