McCORD AND BOBBY SANDS TEAM SPIRIT

My friend Raymond Mc Cord, Sr.—Belfast Protestant and leading campaigner against British collusion and amnesty—evokes the team spirit of Bobby Sands and himself. Mc Cord’s voice is the voice from Northern Ireland most feared by the British Embassy in Washington. You see, the British Government is well-used to dealing with the charge they killed Catholics and covered up the killings. But when confronted on Capitol Hill that they also killed some Protestants —like Raymond’s son, Raymond, Jr. in 1997—the British Embassy has absolutely no excuse, nowhere to hide. For 24 years the British Government intelligence agencies have obstructed and delayed an Inquest into young Raymond’s murder and cover-up. Their current excuse is they do not have the manpower to get all the needed documents to the Judge!
