Creators of Online Paramilitary Game are tasteless and insensitive - Hussey
UUP Victims Spokesman Derek Hussey today branded the creators of an internet based paramilitary game set in Northern Ireland as tasteless and insensitive.
The game, in which the objective is to become top dog among paramilitaries has provoked a strong response from victims and groups representing victims.
In a statement Mr Hussey said,
“This game really is in poor taste and those who have created it and who presumably are profiting from it are insensitive.
There is nothing glamourous or playful about paramilitarism in Northern Ireland. At a time when many victims are coming to terms with the new dispensation and politicians are trying to draw a line under the past, this type of nonsense does not help. I would urge the creators of the game to think again and remove it from the internet.”
