Eve of trial statement from Gerry McGeough
A Chairde,
Just want to say a big THANK-YOU to everyone who has sent messages of support and offered their prayers ahead of the re-starting of this so-called “trial”.
By now, you will all be aware of the fact that this charade has nothing whatsoever to do with Justice and everything to do with continuing the war against the Irish people by other means. It is raw, brute political intimidation and censorship in its most blatant form.
This persecution against me is being driven by elements from within the British/Unionist establishment who hate with a passion everything that is Irish Nationalist and Catholic. They are blinded by bigotry.
Needless to say, I have never been impressed or intimidated by this outfit in the past and most certainly will not bow down to them now. Irish-Catholics will not be pushed around in our own country and the sooner these people face that reality the better.
My patience has been sorely tested by these anti-Irish, anti-Catholic wretches and I believe that the time has now come for the establishment of a broad-based Independence Movement that will demand the end to foreign misrule in our country. Our ancient Irish Nation requires freedom, unity and full independence from Britain…as of now.
As an Irishman, I am sick to the teeth of the English presence in our country. England has nothing to offer our people but misery and captivity. This is our Nation and we want it back. England, get out of Ireland and take your pathetic little Diplock courts with you! Remember, the Irish Nation will never be beaten and Irishmen and women everywhere must stand up and be proud of our ancient heritage and noble history of resistance to the foreign enemy! Éirinn go Brách/Ireland Forever!
