NI police colluded with killers

This is obviously not of much interest to those that live on the "mainland" as it is sometimes known, but in Ireland its big news.

Seems that the police have been letting their informers get away with murder.

Truely shocking, particularly if you have a relative in the list of victims.

Bottom line for me is that we should forget it and move on.

PS. Sorry, the thread title is tongue in cheek.

Well, it would be better than spending millions on inquiries.

like more appeasement - I'd rather we are all told the truth, not pay to cover up, it would be cheaper in the long run ????

Truth! As Terry Pratchett puts it,

Quote:

A lie can run round the world before the truth has got its boots on.

The truth could be the making or breaking of the new constitution and I'm hoping that witch hunts can be avoided because there is a danger that too much truth will undermine all that has been so painfully achieved.

I have to say that I'm not really surprised..it was a dirty vicious cycle of violence between the two sides of the conflict.Plus the Stalker affair made me very suspicious as to the motives of certain elements of the NI police force.
