The contrast couldn’t be greater between Lord Mountbatten and the boys he allegedly abused. He was a pillar of the British establishment, and they are victims of it.

Mountbatten was born into a life of privilege and luxury. He was the second son of Prince Louis of Battenberg and Princess Victoria of Hesse and by Rhine.

His godparents were Queen Victoria and Nicholas II of Russia. He joined the Royal Navy during the First World War, and afterwards attended Christ’s College, Cambridge.

He was Supreme Allied Commander South East Asia during World War Two, and later the last Viceroy of India.

Arthur Smyth’s life was very different. His father worked in the shipyard, but spent all his money in the pub.

Arthur and his eight brothers and sisters grew up in squats, some of which had no running water. They moved around constantly. Belfast, Larne, Carrickfergus and Greenisland were among the places the children briefly called ‘home’.

When Arthur was 11, he’d been at 13 schools. His parents’ marriage broke up in the summer of 1977. The kids were split and dispatched to different children’s homes by the courts. Arthur was sent to Kincora.

A Very British Scandal: King’s Uncle And The Sordid Kincora Cover-Up

The Village asks: Was Thomas Passmore, Paedophile, Politician And County Grand Master of the Belfast Loyal Orange Lodge, also an MI5 agent. Written by Joseph de Burca.

On 16 September last Paul Graham told RTE’s ‘Liveline’ that he had been sexually abused by a senior figure in the Orange Order. Although not named, the abuser was Thomas Passmore, the County Grand Master of Belfast Loyal Orange Lodge.

That Passmore was a paedophile will not come as news to the Northern Ireland Office, MI5 and MI6. In 1973 he was named in a press briefing prepared by the British Army at Lisburn, Northern Ireland. The briefing concerned Tara, a Loyalist paramilitary organisation led by William McGrath, the notorious child rapist and Housefather at Kincora Boys’ Home. McGrath, who acted as an agent for MI5 and MI6, was convicted for child rape in 1981.

To its credit, a number of senior military figures in the British Army tried to put an end to the abuse of children at Kincora. Foremost among them was Captain Colin Wallace. He and his military colleagues were thwarted by the NIO, MI5 and MI6, especially by a senior MI5 officer called Ian Cameron. Cameron was once a runner for the post of Director General of MI5. Those organisations and the PSNI persist to this day in covering up the full extent of the abuse at Kincora and elsewhere.

The 1973 Tara Press Briefing (’73 TPB) described how ‘other people closely associated with McGrath and aware of his activities are, Thomas PASSMORE, Rev PAISLEY, Rev Martin SMYTH, James MOLYNEAUX and Sir Knox CUNNINGHAM QC MP’.

Thomas Passmore, Paedophile, Politician And County Grand Master

The Protestant Loyal Orders, especially the Orange, should embrace its specific rich history with the Irish language instead of going down the road of promoting the Ulster-Scots dialect. In his latest Fearless Flying Column, controversial political commentator, Dr John Coulter, asks if there is another motive for the Order seemingly turning its back on the Irish language.
