AMERICAN BREXIT COMMITTEE
P. O. BOX 27296
PHILADELPHIA, PA 19118
The latest outrage from Northern Ireland Secretary Karen Bradley came this week in the House of Commons. In an exchange with her coalition partner, a Democratic Unionist MP from N. I. she stated that soldiers accused of killing civilians in NI “…did not commit crimes.” Minister of Defense Gavin Williamson is to put the finishing touch on this absolution shortly by introducing an amnesty/statute of limitation bill.” Irish Taoiseach Leo Varadker has stated that such unilateral action is not permitted under the Good Friday Agreement, the 1998 treaty that has brought a measure of peace if not justice to the North. But the DUP, knowing the day would come when loyalist collusion killings for MI-5 and the British Army would be exposed, never signed the GFA. Now the May government must pick up the tab for that lawlessness as she claims the peace pact has outlived its usefulness. “This British bullying of Ireland”, stated Ms. Kathy Savage long time Ireland activist of Lynn, MA, “demonstrates clearly Prime Minister May’s disregard for the rule of law, justice and contempt for the GFA and its support by the US and EU.”
Britain’s International Trade Secretary and Brexiteer Liam Fox is working with U. S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer to package a UK-US trade bailout post Brexit. Back in the day, Fox was a Shadow Defense Secretary and then Defense Secretary (2005-2011) and played his part in covering up all the lawless British Army killing and obstructing of inquiries from the Irish government particularly regarding the British Army and MI-5 role in the Dublin-Monaghan bombings and the Pat Finucane murder. Why is it that Congress can impose a travel ban and financial sanctions on President Putin’s cronies presumably involved in the prison death of Russian whistle blower Sergei Magnitsky while ignoring the role of Fox? Sean Hood (Long Beach, NY) stated “ British collaborators and obstructionists like Bradley, Williamson and Fox involved in covering up the killings of hundreds of innocent civilians should similarly be held accountable.”
Philadelphia attorney and ABC President John Corcoran welcomed the formation of the U. S. Ad Hoc Committee to Protect the Good Friday Agreement Co-Chaired by former Members of Congress Bruce Morrison (CT-D) and James Walsh (NY-R). In an open letter to Taoiseach Varadker and Prime Minister May, the Committee cited threats to the framework of the peace process, to the principle of consent and to the human rights guarantees of the EU Treaty. Concluded Bob Gessler Philadelphia businessman and President of the Irish Memorial, “ Britain needs a sweetheart trade deal from a desperate President Trump and only the oversight of Congress is likely to pry the truth from the British and insure they fulfill their obligations to the people of Ireland.”
