The visit of Elizabeth Windsor, commander in Chief of the British armed forces marks a low point for the Free State government. In the past number of months an unprecedented security operation has been put in place for her visit, and that of the war criminal president, Barack Obama. These combined celebrations of Imperialism are costing an estimated 30 MILLION euros. This is at a time when the Irish people are being forced to emigrate and beg to survive. Elizabeth Windsor is not welcome in this country. Her army occupies the six counties and is responsible for atrocities in Ireland, Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere.
The Free State government argues that this is just a normal visit. Why then are ten thousand gardai required to lock down Dublin for her protection? Why then are water cannons being readied to be used against working class protestors? Why then are no posters, or protests to be allowed? The answer is that this state intends to suppress all dissent. Their censorship of republicans is nothing new but they will not accept the voice of the people being heard. They are the lackeys of the IMF and the British and American governments. We are the people who are paying for their mistakes and their failures. It is time that they are shown the resistance of the people. The 32csm urges all people that are angry at this visit to get out onto the streets of Dublin, Cork and anywhere that they display this archaic symbol of privilege. It is time to stand up and fight back!
