Despairing of British workers ever supporting troops out for the right reasons - support of the Irish people's right to decide their own future - the Provos mistakenly reckon that a bombing campaign, civilian casualties and all, will finally alienate the British public from Ireland so much that the troops will have to be withdrawn due to a massive groundswell of reactionary presSUrC for the bankrupt politics of the Provisional leadership.

Since internment ended last December there have been constant fears that it would be maintained under another guise. These have been underlined by two events this week in the Six Counties.
Solicitor Jonathon Taylor protested at Belfast magistrates court on 22 March that the authorities were 'attempting to dupe a credulous public into believing that the security forces were solving more murders than in fact they are. Taylor, who was defending two men on a murder charge, revealed that the police had no evidence to connect the He predicted that at a later stage the Royal Ulster Constabulary would either withdraw the charge altogether or replace it with a minor offence.
Abuse this practice as an 'increasing evil' which was nothing less than the abuse of the courts for a political purpose. He also pointed out that it was not just the RUC and the British Army who were involved, declaring 'the complicity of the Director of Public Prosecutions in this fraud is unreservedly deplorable'.
The response of the magistrate to Taylor's protest, which has since been supported by other Belfast lawyers ineluding Social Democratic & Labour Party Convention member Paddy Duffy, was to tell him to take his complaints elsewhere.

At a time when it is possible to begin to explain to bigger numbers of British workers the need to overthrow the reactionary, privileged caste rule of the Loyalists backed up by British imperialism's army, the Provos decide to bomb them. Such politically useless antics wil! only serve to reinforce the anti-Irish chauvinism of most British All the signs are that this will lead not to a mood for with. drawal but to an increased willingness to give the British Army a free hand to do what it likes to the Catholic ghettoes in the North.
What is more, these ghettoes will be increasingly isolated as the failure of the Provos to develop an all-Ireland strategy for struggle (as opposJOHN MAGEE reports from Belfast This was no more than could have been expected from a judiciary that continues to be appointed for services rendered to the Orange The important aspect of these allegations is not simply that they ed to the blueprints for alternative structures contained in Eira Nua) reaps its dividend with the complicity of the Southern Government in the harassment and repression of Republicans MOVEMENT The only movement in Britain which can help the Irish people's freedom fight against British imperialism is one which fights for troops out on the basis of the Irish people's right to self-determination - one which can explain to British workers that the repressive techniques developed by the army and the British state to keep down the nationalist population of the North are for use against their own strug gles tomorrow.
Possibly we may fail in the fight to build such a movement. We may fail to cut through the thick skin of chauvinism. But there is no short cut in a stick of gelignite. and it is unlikely that there will be any storm in the palaces of justice.
