McGuinness accuses loyalists of hypocrisy on weapons
Thursday, 7 August 2008
Sinn Fein's Martin McGuinness has accused loyalists of "rank hypocrisy" on the issue of decommissioning.
Mr McGuinness was speaking at a debate in west Belfast last night where PUP leader Dawn Purvis said there was no pressure from within the loyalist community for groups like the UVF to destroy their weapons.
He said loyalists were quick to focus on the issue of IRA weapons, but needed to turn their sights within their own community.
The British Government recently warned loyalist paramilitary groups that they would be treated as criminals and would face a police crackdown if they failed to decommission their weapons.

How can you expect the ira army council to go out of buisness, when the uvf still havent decomissioned there weapons yet. This seems to be like always one sided from the loyalist side.
