Coming to a court near you soon, the latest On the Run, Michael Burns. Charged with attempted murder and possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life, he got a Letter on 18 June 2003 from the Northern Ireland Office, interfering in the criminal justice system.
Let’s see how this one goes.
1. A female High Court Judge.
2. An apology from the Irish News about its article on Winky Rea.
3. Adequate disclosure from the Republic of Ireland re the Kingsmills shooting.
4. Willie Frazer marching in Dublin.
This police officer is giving his congratulations to Bishops Edward Daly and James Mehaffey.
He has no business doing so , any more than he would give his good wishes to the Moderator of the Presbyterian Church [who was at school with me].
Church and State should be separate, although he has probably grown up with bad habits…….
The police service should be remote from these ‘Christians’.
Perhaps he has occasion to be grateful to them?
Hi!
I’m in charge of the Irish Desk at Number Ten.
I was educated at a famous public school and read Greats at Oxbridge. Got a Third but as the man said only a Third and a First are worth a damn. I joined the Civil Service and progressed up the ranks.
They asked me to sort out the Paddies in the 1990’s.
Problem was that occasionally they slipped a big bomb into the City. [My chums were well pissed at that and I got grief at the wine bar on a Friday night].
So I came up with a scheme. All the green Paddies would be left alone,even the mass murderers, provided that the bombing stopped. They could be assemblymen or whatever provided they said that they were democrats, they could cross their fingers if they liked.
Then we had to deal with the Orange Paddies. They are big into their religion so we got a few compliant clerics to tell them all about forgiveness. Best of all we got that big Orange bigot Paisley turned. Not so difficult after Kincora. We then turned all the other sex offenders and gays in his party and the heterosexual ones with the dodgy spouses. [Main point was they couldn’t bomb the City.]
Of course they weren’t alone. We had the videos of all the important Green paddies abusing boys and girls.
Just how good are Box? Years of experience at our disposal!
Next we identified young wannabes in the law, academics, business, arts etc. They were all taken to Enniskillen and told how fab they were. Worked a treat. Now on the bench, chairmen of NGO’s , health trusts etc.
The place is trussed up like a turkey . No workable dissent.
There were occasional blips like Downey but since he was a tout it got sorted. Very worthy NI committee didn’t get a sniff….
As my old professor said: “finis coronat opus”.
They want me to sort out the Royal sex abuse allegations next….
Best….Piers x
Somewhere out there , in Ardoyne or West Belfast are men [and/or women] who came to my parents’ house at dead of night and planted a bomb.
Next day my mother, who was a ‘non-combatant,’ received such serious injuries that she died within 36 hours.
Who were these people? How do they feel today, nearly twenty five years on?
What is their reaction when they read of the pardons given to senior commanders? What about the informers, Scap, Donaldson, Gillen etc? All living the good life, in the pay of the British State.
What do they now think , as parents, about PIRA treatment of women and boys?
How do they feel , still living in Andytown, while Gerry has three houses?
Do they feel betrayed? The paradise state of a united Ireland has not been attained.
And what do they remember of a sixty six year old beautiful woman, whose life they took?
Whilst the enquiry carried out by the NI Affairs Committee has , as suggested; ‘shone a light’ into a dark corner, it cannot hope to illuminate the true horror of “the peace process”.
OTRs, letters, RPMs and secret deals combined to ensure that a huge swathe of PIRA criminals remained untouched and the City of London remained un-bombed. That imperative was sold to the masses of Northern Ireland, [softened up by placemen, selected over the years], as the “Good Friday Agreement”, what a heart tugging nomenclature. For years the state had trawled the old Poly at Jordanstown for third rate academics whom the could put into positions of trust. They were relied on to influence their respective flocks that we should all forgive and forget. The architects of this plan in London, were clever Oxbridge types who had studied the activities of Mao, Hitler and Stalin. They have subsequently gone on to deal with Afghanistan and Libya.
The key to unlocking this puzzle is the fact that many PIRA commanders were state agents and informers for many years. Thus the state is vulnerable to legal challenge.
The idea that the state did not know of PIRA activities [participating informants] is laughable.
I , along with others, am getting there , inch by inch.
If the Westminster Executive would bend the rules in this instance, what else would they do to protect the stockbrokers?
It is interesting that the NI Attorney General felt that the judgement of Sweeney J. might be open to challenge in Europe. Of course, if Downey was another state informer, that would not be a path that the state would want to tread.
But that , given that the post Belfast agreement legal system in Northern Ireland is packed with safe pro-agreement puppets, Europe is the only option.
Some readers of this blog may have thought that I was uncharacteristically quiet. Worry not , Dear Reader, I have been working hard. I intend to publish, for the twenty fifth anniversary of the murder of my parents, a comprehensive analysis of those who ordered and carried out the act. Thereafter I intend to pursue them through the legal process. We will see, in time, how robust the PSNI and the legal system here really is. Until then audi, vide, tace.
An excellent analysis. It would explain McGuinness’s outburst about dark and sinister forces, which ,as we know have always been around and have acted , not for the good of the citizens of Northern Ireland but for the ends of the British Establishment.
The leaked story in today’s Sunday Telegraph reporting the British police’s intention to pursue six IRA activists who had been given so-called ‘comfort letters’ by the Blair government is another indication that the British are determined to continue waging war against the IRA despite the peace process and the reality that the Provisional movement has effectively accepted British rule in Northern Ireland.
This, along with the Cameron government’s expressed intention not to stand over the Blair letters to the so-called ‘On The Run’s’ or OTR’s – IRA suspects given promises of non-prosecution – and the pursuit of Ivor Bell, who will learn in a fortnight whether he will face charges in connection with the disappearance of Jean McConville, amount to a British default both from the spirit of the peace process and the commitments given during good faith negotiations with Sinn Fein and the IRA.
That the British intention to…

An intriguing explanation for Gerry Adams’ “on-again, off-again” head to head with the US State Department during the St Patrick’ Day festivities in Wahington has come from Henry Farrell, author of the ‘Monkey Cage’ blog on the Washington Post’s online site – and it makes sense.
According to Farrell a combination of distaste at the persistent allegations that Adams ordered the disappearance of widowed mother-of-ten, Jean McConville – given added profile and credibility by this lengthy exposé in last week’s New Yorker magazine – along with the claim that he knew about the child abuse committed by his brother Liam but did nothing about it and what Farrell calls “a swirl of abuse” about rape and sexual abuse by IRA members, have transformed Adams in the eyes of Washington power brokers into “an increasingly controversial figure”.
Changed times indeed. You can read full the article below but first this piece…
