I have no doubt there were a lot of angry disillusioned loyalists in jail, maybe that's why so many graced the 'mixed-wings'? Jail maybe was their 'execution', the realisation of being much less valuable than they had believed themselves to be.

There were more loyalists jailed than republicans, did loads of govt agents take their porridge without a whimper? I don't believe it.

We can debate the morality of it or the extent to which they have been truthful about it until the end of time but there is that acknowledgement of responsibility.

The extent of it I would not have believed a few years ago. The Brits were bastards but they did not monopolise bastardism. We had quite a few on our side too. And to see them scrambling and scraping to promote their own photo with Charles Windsor. What a sad, sorry lot.

What I seem to be picking up is he landed Morrison 'in-it' and it has taken Morrison and his handlers/contacts all this time to get his conviction quashed.

They pulled that trick on her: bring in someone well known for press work; tell her she is going to a press conference and he is there to handle it; she settles a bit because seeing him it is plausible and associates him with his SF role because it is what she wants to believe, needs to believe.

What a pointless murder and her mom's voice on tape came across to me like someone who expected to be going home, likely after the usual press conference.
