      Former UDA boss Johnny Adair brands IRA best ‘guerrilla army’ ever
      Loyalist praises republican hunger strikers
      By Staff Reporter
      December 31, 2023 at 3:10PM GMT
      Former UDA commander Johnny Adair has described the IRA as “the best guerrilla warfare army there has ever been” and spoken about his respect for republican hunger strikers.
      The former ‘C Company’ boss made the claim during a podcast with far-right activist Tommy Robinson.
      During the conversation Robinson said: “I’ve seen the IRA described as the best guerrilla warfare army there has ever been”, which prompted an unexpected response from Adair.

      “Their bombmaking technology was a step ahead of the British Army, the army tried to keep ahead of them and the IRA was always in front,” he said.
      “Even the hunger strikers, I grudgingly respect them men too, they starved themselves to death for a political cause, dedication at the highest level.
      “Now I’m dedicated, and I knew one day I could lose my life and the IRA would get me, and I accepted that because I didn’t know what day it would be.
      “These hunger strikers, death was staring them in the face for 60-odd days. If I was asked to give my life on hunger strike? No I wouldn’t do it, I wouldn’t have been as brave to do that.

      A recent report said unification will cost €20billion a year for 20 years. That means the standard of living in the Republic will fall, taxes go up, public spending go down. The Brits would love to get the North off their books. Bill Clinton famously said "it's the economy stupid". Let's see how patriotic people in the Republic are when they have to pick up the tab.
