Spooks make overt approach in Manchester
The Gaughan Stagg Cumann condemn the actions of two British state operatives who made an overt approach to young people in a Manchester pub.
They called one by their name, seeking to infer that they knew him. The two men were aged between 35 to 40 years if age, white, one was large in weight with a shaved head, the other was thin, with defined facial contours.The larger of the two had a pseudo Dublin accent that fluctuated into an English accent. He sought to engage one if the group in discussions about an armed group stating ‘you know who we mean’ ?
He dropped names of people in England and made reference to Irish people killing Irish people, naming a Dublin family.
The young man alert to the unwanted and buzzard event rang his solicitors and gave an account and description of the ‘odd couple’. On his return the thin male tapped his shoulder and said “You’re too paranoid…Trust us”!
A solicitor made hi way immediately to the place in question to witness and record details and took statements from the group about the events.
The men left almost immediately the solicitor arrived, making their way through side streets before getting into a car that pulled up on Whitworth street.
The Gaughan Stagg cumann advise political activists to be vigilant. We commend the young man for his immediate action forethought in contacting his legal representative and acquiring I dependent observers and accounts.
We encourage all activists to record any such events with their solicitor and comrades. Be vigilant be aware.
