The Chlamydia Kid Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 "Authoritative sources" Like who? The DaIly Mail? The Daily Express? The Sun?...... Basically all of the sources that don't actually back up anything they say, but people like you are idiodic enough to believe anyway. Aye mate all my learning is from tabloid newspapers..... Need to try picking up one of these books on the subject from my book shelf and learn something.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chlamydia Kid Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 I've never disputed the UDA got intelligence for targets from the security services or police. That is firmly established as the case. You said that they chose targets for no other reason than their religion- which was not true. I'm not sticking up for any such organisation either. Just pointing out your ill informed rubbish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peppino Impastato Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 You did dispute it by questioning the source, and it is indisputable they did target people purely for being Catholic. Not surprised a bigot like you defending them though. Last time I read a post of yours. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not surprised a bigot like you defending them though. Last time I read a post of yours. You said you'd blocked me the last time and you still keep reading- you'll read this. You claimed the state identified most of their targets and they were targeted for religious purposes because you want to portray the state as being motivated by sectarianism. They got info from security services. That's widely accepted and common knowledge. The security services didn't pass them information on people identified because of their religion. You don't come to the attention of security services because of your religion. They did target people because they were catholic. These people were NOT identified by the security services. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

African Sunset Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 On 25/11/2016 at 17:51, RedRob72 said: Yep, fair point but even taking that into account (greater number of U.K. Visitors to Europe) the deficit surely wouldn't be over 15 times as much paid (£) out than received back into the Treasury's coffers? It's still a huge discrepancy no? It is a huge discrepancy but that's the problem with papers that run with their own agenda, they splash pish as headlines without reporting the realities. We don't know the true figures as no one has looked into the numbers properly and reported the actual facts. What we need is for someone to look into the numbers, ages and cost of treatments before we can really say what is the cost(or not) to us as a whole. That unfortunately is unlikely to happen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple more to add, which I can't see, 'The Red Hand' written by Steve Bruce, & The RUC by Chris Ryder, both good reads if you haven't come across them already mate? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chlamydia Kid Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 No mate. Read a few of Steve Bruce's but- excellent. Not heard of the second one. I've not read a book on that subject for years though. Probably never will. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps deliberately provocative, but still a fine book.[emoji6] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That blanketmen book by Richard o'rawe is a great book written from the republican perspective. Changes your perceptions of things- the Sinn Fein leadership don't come out of it too well right enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chlamydia Kid Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Well worth a read as well- forgot I had read that on holiday earlier in the year. Few folk on here could learn a thing or two from it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
