Stop F15 flights over Scotland
23 March 2011
The socialist republican group Saorsa is demanding answers from the forces of British & American Imperialism over the downing of a US fighter jet over Libya.
Spokesman for the group, Sean Mac Mìcheal, stated, “We are being told by the US aggressors that their downed F15 fighter jet was due to “technical failure”.
“If - and this is by no means certain – this is the case then it is clear that there are legitimate safety concerns over the ability of these jets to fly safely without endangering civilian lives.
“Given that the north of Scotland is routinely used by NATO forces for “training” and operational purposes we are justified in demanding an immediate and total cessation of all such manoeuvres in Scottish air space.
“Furthermore we call upon the Scottish Government to likewise seek these assurances on behalf of the Scottish people rather than bending the knee to support the British/ American invasion of Libya.
“We find it ridiculous the perpetrators of Guantanamo and Ballymurphy now seek to portray themselves as global ambassadors for human rights.
“Let us be clear - this war is being fought for control over the resources of Libya. This is an imperialist war.”
“It is unfortunate that those who should be standing against British imperialism are being forced to back British bombs in order to gain votes amongst a section of the Unionist community in Moray but this is the logical outcome of their support for the retention of British Crown Forces in Moray and elsewhere.”
Close RAF Lossiemouth!
Scotland out of Britain!
Britain out of Libya!
