US protest against Thatcher
Irish activists will converge on York, Pennsylvania on Wednesday 7 May to protest against an appearance by former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. She will be the guest speaker at a function sponsored by the Junior League of York.
Members of the Irish Northern Aid Committee from Philadelphia plan to attend the rally including Paul Doris, INA's national chairperson. INA units from Baltimore, and Richmond will also send delegations.
``I find it particularly offensive that the York Junior League would ask Thatcher to speak about anything. Her record of death and destruction in Ireland is clear. And we'll follow her anywhere to make our feelings known,'' said Doris.
