RUSHLIGHT MAGAZINE. WEST BELFAST'S OLDEST COMMUNITY PUBLICATION

FIRST PUBLISHED IN 1972.

“Stormont is still there, but it is a Stormont with Republicans in it. Stormont has not changed. The whole apparatus of the Stormont regime is still there, it is still controlled by the British, it is still unjust, it is still cruel. The RUC is still there. The whole civil service are still there, the same civil servants who controlled the shoot-to-kill policy, who controlled the plastic bullets, who controlled the H Blocks of Long Kesh, who took responsibility for ten men dying. It is all still there. But, saviour of saviours, we have two Sinn Féin ministers there, who happen to close hospitals. The sad thing about all this is that the British set this up. This is the British answer to the Republican problem in Ireland. It’s a British solution, it’s not an Irish solution. It’s not a solution that we have control of. There are people up there and the British ministers are handing money out. But the whole thing is built on sand.” Brendan Hughes

STORMONT WATCH

Stormont El Supremo,

Gone to the cesspit of history.

Don't Support Partition

Paisley Going.. Good Riddance to Bad Rubbish

Arch bigot  Paisley is giving up his  high British paid job as Prime Minister of the Coconut Colony and  his son also got the boot , Let's hope Stormont , THE MONEY PIT, gets the boot soon.

Shankhill People Should Look At The Unionist Mansions

Listening to the working class protestants protesting about  Yuppie flats instead of  houses for local people being built on the Shankill should hire a bus and take a tour of the Unionist politicians homes, or rather their mansions, you would not be so polite after that to those greedy people in Stormont, Protestant, Catholic and Dissenter should unite and take control into our own hands

STORMONT DOES NOTHING FOR REAL EQUALITY

Never in the history of these six British occupied counties of Ireland has our Irish history and heritage been at such a low ebb, day and daily it is being prostituted, rewritten, bargained for and sold, all this since Stormont has been set up again.. it is time to stand up and be Irish, don't let the continual drip drip burial of our heritage continue. Why are people who claim to be republicans being harrassed by the RUC/PSNI, if they claim not to be supportors of Stormont ?  I am a republican , a veteran of the Civil Rights  Struggle and I am very open about not being able to support  Stormont in any shape, form or fashion and there are many people like me.. and the more you continue your sectarian bullying there will be more..so, come on RUC/PSNI.. you gonna intimidate me to recognise Stormont ?.. do your worse, what you gonna do shoot me ???  So much for your new democracy, freedom of speech, etc. etc. Nothing has changed in this Coconut Colony.

Bush Blood Money To Prop The Six County Statelet.

Martin McGuinness should be ashamed of accepting any money from Bush on behalf of the decent people of the six counties, what was the price, to sit in the presence of the mass murderer Bush and not challenge his invasion and atrocities in Iraq and Afghnistan?, but there again the sectarian statelet of "Northern Ireland" was founded and nourished by Britain's blood money.

Irish Catholic History And Heritage Being Ignored By Tourist Board And Belfast City Council Special Events People

If this is what we are to accept as equality in these six counties then we are accepting second class citizenship, in fact embracing it, what was the last 40 years about?   We should get up off our knees, this is disgusting and highly insulting. I don't even need to explain , no one is that daft or ignorant... and hopefully are getting impatient. 

Whilst Irish/Catholic Heritage is being put down here in these six British occupied six counties  the Imagery (Above)of the Artificial Statelet is being promoted by six county soldiers in Basra. 

Are We Seeing A Harry West Property Scandal about to unfold at Stormont ?

Being a long time Civil Rights Agitator and Political activist, long before many of this new batch of Stormont politicians came on the scene, I had a quiet chuckle at how some timorous news hounds are pussy footing  on suggesting that there may been a huge 'parliamentary abuse' going on up at the big white Elephant on Stormont Hill. They refer, timidly, about those tens of millions of pounds  in price difference in the land at Giants Causeway, they keep mentioning the name of Big Ian's Clone Young Ian and that of a Millionaire Property Developer. If it is the case it is nothing new at Stormont, back in the early 1960's  a Unionist MP, Harry West at Stormont, bought acres and acres of land for peanuts which he knew  from his position in Stormont would be worth £1,000,000's by the time that the M1 motorway would require them for completion. Oh by the way, it is ironic that the Unionists now have such high value in the Giants Causeway, because their forefathers , the planters, scoffed at the rocky stony ground and drove the Native Irish to live in that barren region, whilst they stole the lush farming plateau's of County Antrim. There was also a big rip off scandal concerning a Lord Mayor of Belfast  see City Hall Watch
