Tonight on "London Live TV " and Sky Channel 117 "Unquiet Graves". It's about RUC, UDR and Loyalist death squads operating in Armagh and Tyrone during the troubles.   Harrowing stuff, but worth a look.

posted this on another thread too, but it is all things N.I. politics.

There's an excellent book ( "Lethal Allies" by Anne Cadwallader ) that covers the same ground about the infamous Glenanne Gang , made up of a combination of State forces and loyalist paramilitaries with dual membership common. Harrowing times in the early years of the Troubles.

It was far across the sea,
When the devil got a hold of me,
He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

I don't ever expect any justice for anything they did.

Due to a lack of education. Anyone with even a remote ability to think for themselves doesn't think they are great. 
I did see a survey last week that showed 15% of people questioned here think there's nothing to be ashamed of in British colonial history and 38% think there's more to be proud of than ashamed of. 
Now, it's an end of day survey on YouDirect, so hardly a fully representative sample, but it did burst my own echo chamber somewhat! I still get a shock when I see the poppy where I am!

Absolutely no surprise in the outcome though. Plus ça change...

Seamie Beag never could take a joke. The Short Strand end of Bryson Street will definitely go for this.

Listening to Nolan on the radio this morning and between Loyalist commentators and callers you're head would be melted.

They blame everyone else for their woes. It's not Brexit it's the protocol, it's not Uk it's the EU, we didn't vote for this, it's not the will of the people. It's the Shinners, SDLP and Alliance. It's our ball so the rest of ye can f**k off. Ulster says no no no. Jaysus. 

From a distance they would get your blood pressure sky high. How do you negotiate with that, they would drive you mad.
I could agree with you but then we'd both be wrong.

It's tough sh*t and they need to be told that, the protocol is what their British government signed up to. They voted for Brexit, they got Brexit. There was nothing on the ballot paper as to what form Brexit would take. It really is annoying that the EU dropped this absolute clanger with Article 16 because it gives the likes of the DUP and their supporters (and the British government) access to the moral high ground when they really have no right to it.
