With Friends Like This' – UUP paper on the relationship between Tony Blair's government, the PIRA and decommissioning

Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

Ken Maginnis, MP from the Ulster Unionist Party, criticizes the British Government's handling of negotiations with the PIRA, accusing it of deceit and betrayal. He argues that despite promises of transparency and no contact with terrorists, the government continued secret dealings with the PIRA, undermining the democratic process and the sacrifices made by those upholding democracy. Maginnis expresses frustration over the government's willingness to negotiate with an organization he views as uncommitted to ending violence and respecting the consent of Northern Ireland's people. He concludes by questioning the integrity of the political process and the government's alignment with the Irish Republican agenda, suggesting that the Ulster Unionists will vote against the Joint Governments' disarmament paper. [It is annotated in pen as header: 'Ken has requested that this paper be circulated widely - in particular to those who may be in TV or radio studios' along with the date '20/07/1997' and a signature.]
