Kampuchea
Sir, — With reluctance, I take up the point raised by A. Delhanty (January 24), in the correspondence on “Kampuchea,” on the British
Army’s occupation of six counties of Ireland’s Ulster province. 1 reject his imputation of dishonesty in my motives. The people of the six counties of Ulster are, willy-nilly, British subjects, because the six counties are a British colonial enclave on Irish territory and have been so since 1922. The only people who support rule from London are the descendants of the English and Scottish settlers who were “planted” on Irish soil after Cromwell’s infamous massacre of the native Irish in the seventeenth century, in the first application of a policy of genocide in Europe’s history. I am not in the habit of indulging in personalities in these columns, but A. Delhanty should look to his own methods of debate. — Yours, M. CREEI January 24, 1979.
