The disrespect of the NIO towards two Presbyterian ministers in 1996 is still prevalent today in the English Conservative disrespect today

I fully agree with Rev Mark Wilson’s letter of December 31 regarding the treatment of Rev Dr Harry Allen and Rev Sam Hutchinson by a senior NIO official and the British ambassador to Dublin in 1996.

(The letter can be read here: ‘Subtle Presbyterian ministers were laughed at by their neo colonial rulers because of their reluctance to consent to loaded term Irish’)

The display of arrogance,ignorance and disrespect on that occasion is still prevalent today — the Irish Sea border courtesy of the English Conservative Party and leader Boris Johnson!
