Hypocritically

Here's the title of a news by BBC.

1981: Hunger striker elected MP

"Hunger striker". Who was he ? He was Bobby Sands ( front defender of IRA ) who's been not accepted by british cabinet as MP ! But today, all of british newspapers (also government) call pkk terrorists as guerillas and support a terrorist party in TNA for democracy (?). And Turkish patriots being charged as nationalists and racists. What a funny...

Where were those democracy lovers as Bobby Sands dying in a cell ? Where were those democracy lovers while been writing by (british)nationalists at the entrance of social place's "no dogs and Irish allowed" in past years ?

Nobody can tell us about democracy. Cos democracy for democracy butches who let die Bobby Sands.

(No) Regards.

This is very interesting. Could you possibly send me a link that confirms this information? I have not seen the British Government's statement to this effect but would certainly like to.

Being charged as nationalist and racists by whom? By people on this site maybe who disagree with any racism, but by governments?!?!?!?! I dont think so.

I certainly raised objections to racism on this site towards Kurdish people. However, I find ALL racism disgusting and I am more than happy to make the same comments about my own country's racism.

Here is the British Home Office page listing terrorist groups:-

http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/security/terrorism-and-the-law/terrorism-act/proscribed-groups

I think you are probably referring to Turkish press reports that countries in the EU (including UK) "allow" PKK TV stations and propaganda? Actually I can state that the UK does not have any PKK TV stations.

If there are groups of PKK supporters (not KNOWN terrorists) then they are very good at discretion because it is illegal to belong to this organisation. We have numerous such "underground" supporters of terrorist in our country (all immigrants incidently).

I dont agree with it either but do you suggest the UK government arrest all Turks or Kurds and interogate them? To my mind, arresting people purely based on race and politics is worse than the RACISM you described earlier.
