KINGSMILL MASSACRE AND THE CONDUCT OF THE HON. MEMBER FOR WEST TYRONE

Motion Text

That this House believes that the sectarian massacre at Kingsmill of 10 Protestant workers by the Provisional IRA on 5 January 1976 was one of the worst single atrocities of the Troubles; notes that the IRA murder gang spared a Catholic worker; is horrified that on the 42nd anniversary of the massacre, the hon. Member for West Tyrone chose to release a video of himself on social media with a loaf of Kingsmill bread balanced on his head; further believes that this offensive act brings into question his judgment and the sincerity of his commitment to non-sectarianism; and agrees with the sole survivor of the massacre and many others that it would be wise if he resigned his seat.
