MP slams terrorist graffiti
Dissident republican graffiti which was sprayed on walls and shutters in the Cliftonville Circus area of North Belfast over the weekend
NORTH Belfast DUP MP Nigel Dodds has condemned pro-terrorist graffiti which has appeared in the city.
Graffiti sprayed in the Cliftonville Circus area in the early hours of Sunday read “RIRA”, “The war is not over”, “Let the bombs keep coming”, and “Every cop’s a target”.
Mr Dodds said: “As well as vandalising a local shopping area, those responsible are seeking to promote terrorist violence. They are a tiny minority and their vile ideas have virtually no support. It speaks volumes that they have to skulk under the cover of darkness to scrawl their obscene messages.”
He added: “At a time when a PSNI officer remains critically ill from a dissident republican bomb attack it is particularly repugnant that this sick graffiti should appear.
“The people responsible for these depraved messages are totally out of touch with the wishes and thinking of local people.
“Terrorist violence is as wrong today as it has always been wrong in the past and those seeking to sustain a new campaign of violence, murder and destruction must be given no succour or hiding place within the community.”
