hmm, brendan davidson devotes his existence killing British troops or the RUC and then his family complain of collusion when he meets a fitting end??? im pretty sure that if i was in the RUC and the ira were trying their very hardest to kill me, i would be colluding my arse off, they want it both ways do the ira , theyre soldiers one minute , as soon as the shooting starts theyre brutalised civilians, using loyalist paramilitaries in TARGETED missions like this seems to me perfectly legitimate.

@garethella Well that's just it you see. That was the whole point and it has swept cleanly over your head. Same rules apply. The Brits should not have been colluding with anyone if they had no strategic interest in the six counties. If the RUC was a police force, it should have trained to be one and acted like one - instead of a bunch of bloodthirsty animals. You can't just say 1 minute "if I was in the RUC... I would be colluding my arse off" and then complain about "terrorists". Dont u get it

@Lachausis If a bomb goes off there's no insurance for pints of your booze so you just take it out with you and then when the bomb threat's over, either by the pub blowing up or by ascertaining it's a hoax, the old fella's still got his jar and the worst case scenario for him is it;s a real bomb and he'll need to change his local. But he's still got his Jar while they're all sorting it out.

@shughes375 We must have known we had scumbags among us like that. Christ the brits were full of moles themselves. The problem was everyone was running around pointing fingers at innocent folk and wanks like that walked off scot free.

[Dilzybhoy]

@shughes375 Well I hope he lives on in his friends fond memories. He does in this film, and he looks happy enough to me.

[Dilzybhoy]

@63gc Well they weren't were they really. Look at the figures. I refer you to a number of sources for this, try CAIN for a start. Then google who killed whom during the troubles 1969-2000. Bear in mind that it was only loyalist death squads that were active, with Paisleys backing from 1965-69, despite his forked tongue that splutters denial.

[Dilzybhoy]

@shughes375 Nah, someone else done it for me.
