The peace process will go on, vows PM

Wednesday, 11 March 2009

Downing Street insisted it was “business as usual” in the wake of the murders of three members of the security forces.

The official spokesman for Prime Minister Gordon Brown reiterated the message that the killings would not derail the “unshakeable” peace process.

It follows confirmation by Secretary of State Shaun Woodward that security has been increased \[Lucy Gollogly\]in Northern Ireland but there is “no intention” to increase the number of troops.

The Prime Minister’s spokesman said “a small number of criminals” were behind the murders.\[Lucy Gollogly\] : “The point Shaun Woodward was making was that, no matter how these people want to call themselves, we are talking about a small number of criminals behind these murderous acts, that there was no support for what they were doing from the community.”

“Political leaders across the community are completely united in their response and condemnation of these attacks.”

Am I the only one who wishes that the PM and his vast army of spin doctors would stop talking about the ''peace process''

I think the peace process is over

By that I mean that we as a country are at peace as much as we ever will be

I know the recent murders are very bad but unfortunately right across the world every day murders occur in countries that would be considered as peaceful

talking about the peace process only in my opinion plays in to the hands of these criminals it is as if they have something left to fight for when they don't

Lets get talking about the future and building our countries instead of this intermiable ''peace process'' which we have all been talking about since the early 1990's that is almost 20 years!!!!
