A former Fleet Street editor and journalism lecturer could lose his university post after he revealed his unapologetic support for bombing campaigns carried out by the IRA. Roy Greenslade, who edited the Daily Mirror and held a top job at The Sun, secretly wrote for the republican newsletter An Phoblacht and even provided bail surety for an IRA man accused of involvement in the 1982 Hyde Park bombing. While his republican views first emerged some years ago, he has now 'come out of hiding' in an article for the British Journalism Review to say he was in 'complete agreement about the right of the Irish people to engage in armed struggle', adding: 'I supported the use of physical force.'
