Any people. But it turns out there are a lot of the right oh d is that what forward not backwards or the problem we have right now is what if they dont would read words but if it were stored there are going to remain stuck. No i dont think d. Or will i believe there are many who feel theyre all right but what they. d be much that we can hear not international thats i things are looking to get my panties stories as always and i website and you can find that. What politicians do listen to them. They put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. So when you want to be president. For something i want to press. It to the right of the press its like the full freedom to be political im interested always in the waters about how. I should. Mine the margaret find it impossible to touch the man she witnessed shooting her husband at point blank range was robin jackson. Jackson was supported by noir list who became one of the conflicts most prolific killers. He was also an r u c h and nicknamed the jackal. 5 days before pat campbells murder a man whose home police had found 64 kilograms of explosives 2 grenades and over 5000 rounds of assorted ammunition had named jackson as his accomplice. However police failed to arrest jackson meanwhile he is of liberty to murder part campbell. Jackson of being a member of the Ulster Defense regiment then the largest regiment in the british army. He was later involved in the massacre of the Miami Showband in july 975 when 3 band members were killed by members of the clan and gang as they attempted to plant a bomb on the musicians boss. List paramilitaries harris boyle and Wesley Somerville were killed instantly as the bomb exploded prematurely. Well the Ulster Defense regiment was the largest regiment in the british army it was geographically recruited here and the north of ireland and it only served here in the north of ireland it was essentially a counterinsurgency unit that was set up the back end of the troubles. That itself took over from the discredit the specials which was a special place charlotte thought it exists at since the 1920 s. And it was clear from the outset that the u. D. R. Was set up to recruit from within the loyalist on the unionist community. They were almost entirely drawn from within not commanding. Declassified documents from british sources from the Prime Ministers Office from the minister of defense secretary of States Office make it quite shockingly clear that from the perspective of the British Government it was acceptable to recruit someone into the regiment who was an octave loyalist paramilitary who was a member of a loyalist paramilitary group. Theres no doubt the creation of the else the defense regiment was influence for the british show me boy the experience in the employ of these kinds of local regimens what controls and commanded by british offices and any intrinsic palls of the chain of command rich homie were common through all of the counterinsurgency campaign. There was a real genuine hype at the instigation. That it would be truly crossed mean c. Would be known 6 hereon in character but it became apparent very quickly that was not going to be the case and the british army was willing to live with the consequences which was that this would be in many ways a sectarian. Many people for a little of this community joined the regiment to get weapons training and to steal weapons and according to the official documents that we funded the u. D. R. It was the largest Single Source of modern weapons flowing to the loyalist paramilitary groups it was a recipe for disaster. And one of the things we noticed whenever we started to do the research was the large numbers of guns that were disappearing from both are you see an u. T. R. Armory and places like. This is like the Territorial Army and it was our volunteer force in. The can are to name but a few. Now we have a pictorial of just the devastating effect that one of these going to get out of this is 9 millimeter starting so machine gong stolen from. On the 20th 24th of man one thing to have a new one and subsequently used to kill a lot of people and seriously injure numerous other people and the attacks were these are the people that i. Was with the charge also shows is who was using these columns and here we can see that some of the people who were. Involved in these and they were also members of the r. T. C. The u. D. R. We also see as always going on one of those people who was killed and one of the fortunate acts with us. Was with my own father who was killed and on the farms over a bridge. We do not as a matter of course as a matter of course. Looking for process and terrorists that is the domain of the i. O. C. They are you see the police was created in the early 1920 s. At the same time as the state of Northern Ireland was created and it reflected the contested nature of the state it was almost 93 Percent Community and as a both part time element on a full time element there was a militarized force from the outset it was framed on the colonial model of British Police and. Very fraught and fractious relationship with the. Nationalist community. As a Nonviolent Civil Rights Movement korean force in the late 1960 s. It was the reaction of the r. U. C. To the. Attacks on the 1st civil rights marches by the police that actually energies the movement. People unless the fuse for the conflict at the time. Then in the 1960 s. And 1969 in particular we had a situation where there was coordinated loyalist attacks protectee on the catholic population of belfast tens of forced to flee their homes the irish army settled refugee camps along the border which put up the refugees flee in the north was striking about these attacks was that the r. U. C. The Police Actually took part in the attacks. So instead of preventing them they were active. Participants in the burning of whole streets in belfast at the time. 1976 the gang attacked a small pope called the rock bar near kiddie. Approaching the pope. Called make me grow as he left the building. They then detonated a nail bomb which failed to explode. What was striking about this particular attack was that all those involved were members of the local police force the are you see. On duty as the attack took place. And so many up on and sentencing these Police Officers the lord chief justice went so far as to claim and i quote that they were trying to rid the land of pestilence but thats the kind of language that nazi shoes but use. A very important landmark for the campaign and and 999 was the fact that we acquired they. Was a former sergeant and they are you say he had been convicted of the marge are all of a man called william strathairn and he had served 7 years in prison. Prepared enough it gave us outlining the activities of that land. It became available to us in the spring of 9099. 00. For the 1st time really way realized that the job of monaghan bombings was willing to sell many other attacks north of the border. Into the miami show band. That was linked to the down. And the Castle Blaney bombings as well and the merger of john francis korean all of which took place in the republic. And february 2000 are more on judge baron who was conducting a inquiries into that album on him bombings mesh with john mayer and paris. Myself where it said john we are in paris at the same time and that was a separate nation and i know. We arranged for the pappano consented to arrange with them at that time as well. I think that the significance of the meeting with were also we were able to test his offer to be able to test the evidence that we put out there and put detailed questions to him we spent several days with him to put different parts of the jigsaw together. We were thanks to him and thanks to all the evidence that was becoming available of course he was central to the killing so it was not a fatal me. A member of our special patrol Group Special patrol. A section of the or you see. The the antiterrorist squad the death we drive the story. We did not deal with ordinary Police Shootings who would have tried to. Be like the type of auction so it would have attracted officers who would tend to be more militant than the ordinary police. Those approached by gary armstrong. They explained to me god we should take the war to the all your instead of setting box it was i think a lot of peoples belief that the all youre in a was being allowed to operate without much opposition much endurance they explained to me they had already started this by gone gone bomb attack on the rock bar outside. The ostomy the fog would be interested in joining what they were doing. I told them i would need to know more about it yes of course i would be interested but they did explain to me that the was quite a number of people involved. After the odd her meeting was arranged. Lawrence maturer was there. In 6 to me it was on the right he should tell me about a lot of jobs had been gone up until that. Sir charles dog than monaghan bombings. Really fees. For bridge. Bar bombing and shooting. Is your media a reflection of reality. In a world transformed. What will make you feel safer. Keisel a show for community. Are you going the right way or are you being led so well. What is true what is faith. In a world corrupted you need to descend. To join us in the depths. Or a maybe in the shallows. Twas the night before christmas and all over the world people are my life taking individual sovereignty to their palm i just ran away they. Join me every 1st day on the alex salmond show and ill be speaking to us of the world of politics sports business im show business ill see that. Some of the r. U. C. Men were names were involved over many years and a number of fatal bombings and shootings alongside paramilitaries in the ost of all interior force they include are you see man william of coffee a selfconfessed killer. Also are you see reserve constable Lawrence Mcclure police to be one of the gangs most experienced bomb makers who was convicted of causing an explosion and possession of firearms at the rock bar for which i was ever the only received a suspended sentence for you see constable ian mitchell was also convicted of causing an explosion at the rock bar and possession of firearms but similarly only received a suspended sentence Gerry Armstrong who where also names escaped any conviction in the rock bar attack. A lower the Historical Enquiries Team a police unit set up to investigate historical murders says he was clearly a principal founder in a later book penned by armstrong after his release from prison he clearly details his role in the rock attack in a chapter called. Fulfilled potential. Between the middle of 1972 when the guy really started its work until the end of 975 thats less than 3 the guy had killed 89 people. In one month alone in april 9075 fast person they killed was dorothy trainer a protestant woman walking home with a catholic husband through portadown. Within 3 days theyd killed Martin Mcveigh who was murdered as he cycled home from work in the same town. A couple of weeks later they blew up a Little Cottage that was being renovated killing 2 brothers and a sister and the sisters unborn baby girl. And by the end of the month theyd also killed a man called owen boyle who had been sitting at his Kitchen Table looking at photographs of his newborn baby girl so there in just one month in one small geographical area you had 4 separate attacks in which 7 people were killed these attacks were remorseless and they ratcheted up the pressure until the end of 975 when a completely new development took place. As with previous attacks the modus operandi of the gang was to strike 2 targets almost simultaneously. In a white Cross Country the revie family sat down to watch a popular t. V. Show when gone men entered the family home 24 year old john martin was hit as he sat in his chair while 22 year old brian was shot in the back trying to escape into a nearby. Bedroom. Anthony the youngest brother dived underneath the bed for cover before the gunmen sprayed the bed with bullets. A little while later on i heard them going id through the front door and get them into the car on now then he vowed id among the bad and i was surprised and brian who was in the bible as a file these posts on you that he was dead. On the adi cmon up into the kits and then on john martin he was lyin in a pearl of blood on a file his paws on it on a knee it was all the dead. At around the same time gunmen burst into the home of the old guard found only 17 miles away and barely dog and country done. Again the intention was to wipe out an entire family. As they rushed their way into the house they opened fire in barney wood who was hits a number of times his brother joe who attempted to charge the gunman was killed instantly. But i was shot 1st and many are. Spot on me or are in. Conde by that time i knew. The body was dead. Because. He was in the ring at a we were in. But i crawled out into the hallway. Back to body was layin there to get a well as an intensive care of course and was there for a week. The doctor here marar not mourning the nation as the years should be real hey if things are banned according to logic is safe you shouldnt be here. Because those are all of go one step for your heart. For noble perjury and then the word they used. The word now theyre both gristle. To stop with but a thoroughbred 90 percent term. Turk rated knew it. As the smoke settled 3 members of the old guard family and to review brothers lay dead 17 year old anthony revie died later in hospital. From the mens killings was swift and brutal. The following evening a minibus of textile workers was stopped by members of the ira in kings mills not far from the review home where the killings had taken place the night before. These pictures tell the story of the horror that followed. Up to 20 gunman surrounded the minibus its catholic driver taken to safety the bus loads on board moaned on mercilessly. Policeman who arrived shortly afterwards told of bodies piled on top of one another. The gore and the personal effects give a hint of a conic. When we met joan weir in paris one of the burning questions we had is why he and the others in the gang and not retaliated for the kings well massacre. As on so it was chilling he told us there was a plan and the plan mostly attack a Primary School to kill all the children in the school to kill the teachers we asked him why it didnt go ahead and he tours because the u. V. s leadership and belfast believed that the plan came from Army Headquarters came from military intelligence on a been planted the military intelligence wanted the situation to spiral out of control and this was too much for the fia and they refused to go ahead even for them it was a step too far. The plot. That was decided on. Was to shoot top were. In police. Just on the outskirts of leaks. So we say sure dont screw during show the procedure the screw children teachers yes. Yes. I usually go to solicitor into those. d yes i do indeed yes i do indeed. Move. If thats hydes hop and. I think there is nearly died. There would have been a shocking retaliation. From the republican side. Retaliation from the republican side. It would have eventually. In a fairly short time i should say they told us quite the contrary into. Proper. Our civil war situation i think the contrie was almost already in a civil war situation but if that happened. Even the moderates. On both sides were going to have to take sides and the was going to be. There and then there was going to be a serious serious civil war. We had a meeting with the chief constable the most Senior Police officer and the p. S. L. E. Accompanied by an assistant chief constable at their headquarters and we asked them. What they intended to you but the fact that a former Police SergeantWilliam Mcarthur out about it publicly that he was also part of the plan to kill 30 children out of school and their teachers. There was a pause they looked at each other and they told us that nothing of being dont know intention or doing anything. To be real he wasnt to be arrested the polls and to be reinvestigated nothing would happen. And i think at that moment after we left. We talked about it and we realized that where else in europe a former Police Officer planned to kill a large number of children and a School Former employer would say that he had no plans to reinterview him as a result. Of dunning street in london the british Prime MinisterHarold Wilson was faced with what he called himself an apocalyptic crisis Northern Ireland was spinning out of control and civil war could not be ruled out. Amongst the options he considered were our dried withdraw and selfgoverning if the people of the north were on governable he could not cover them. In an atmosphere of near panic wilson called a council of war at his official country retreat checkers. The peaceful buckinghamshire countryside. Also present was the secretary of state for defense. And the secretary of state for Northern Ireland greece on the Security Side was headed by so david house the general officer commanding northern area. Well wilson attempted to control the worsening situation the hawks within British Military intelligence hoped for a different outcome. Where all out war could be waged on the ira. In the meantime gang were slaughtering anyone but republican targets. So we asked ourselves why why these people and we drew up 2 lists one was of people who were unlucky enough to be caught up in indiscriminate car bombs and the other this was a people who were targeted or watched chased hunted at their work or at their home and we discovered to our surprise that every single one of those bar one.
