- The Hunt Report recommends that the Ulster Special Constabulary be disbanded and replaced with a new security force.
‘7 Days’ takes a look at the workings of the Ulster Special Constabulary and talks to some serving members.
Former Prime Minister of Northern Ireland Basil Brooke (Lord Brookeborough) was the first Commandant of the Ulster Special Constabulary or ‘B-Specials’ as they are commonly known gives his reaction that the force will be dissolved..
The B Specials, probably the most hated police force in Europe.
What are the members of the B-Specials really like and why have they got such a bad reputation?
Tom McCahy, builder and a member of the Ulster Special Constabulary for the last twenty seven years, recalls situations where he has used his weapon when caught in violence. He believes that a campaign of propaganda has resulted in the B-Specials bad reputation.
District Commandant Wallace Clarke is the third generation of his family to be a member of the B-Specials. He says the B-Specials were established to fight terrorism in Northern Ireland. He refutes any claims that they are bully boys and says he would not be a member of such a force.
Our image has got completely astray. The reasons why chaps are in the special contabulary, they’re ordinary, decent, kindly people just like any other group. They dislike their families being terrorised.
They are now to be disbanded and replaced by a new internal security force.
People in the North, Catholics and Protestants, always slightly fear the Specials, especially in time of trouble when jittery fingers have been known to be over hasty on the trigger.
Founder of the B-Specials Lord Brookeborough believes that the B Specials have achieved what they set out to do when they were established over fifty years ago.
This episode of ‘7 Days’ was broadcast on 17 October 1969. The reporter is Rodney Rice. - Розваги
Interesting fact: the bars of Long Kesh prison cells were modelled on this man's teeth
🤣
🤣🤣🤣👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
More like the bodies of the hungerstrikers 😂😂😂
"didn't think at all"...British Motto
A protestant force for a protestant people.
1.52 - 2.09, the camera man just couldn’t resist a close up, his curiosity got the better of him. To be fair to the first man, he talked a lot of sense
Another great upload!
Thon bai cud ate an Apple through a letterbox...
This fella would give Dracula a run for his money... He'd scare the paint off your front door..
I have got to agree with you, the face of evil, in the league of Putin and Hitler if he was given half a chance
😂😂😂
His teeth look like a terrace of condemned houses!😂
A lot of truth spoken By the first man , though I'd be from the other side of the divide .
we have come a long way in dental hygiene
He Needs to get over to Turkey ' to sort them teeth out
Ulsters heroes ,lived worked and fought among the enemy.
Life is short ...smile while you still have teeth!
Interesting
Different times
Not a bar in the grate ..
Pure Irish head on the fella..
He'd have taken offence, more to the latter than the former statement.
I wonder what he would have thought about the two top roles in the Gards being loyal to the Crown.
Look at his teeth mate. He's Bri'ish through and through
@@roachdoggjr3235 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Tom ! See my comment!
@@jackmcnally9237 can't find it bro
that first B Man should have been disbanded for those teeth alone. Its like a graveyard is missing some of its tombstones
The invaders calling the native Irish terrorists..in their own country ..🤔
Untrue they as native as you.. That were groomed to not invest in own country and fellow man
I guess dental benefits was not a thing back than sweet jebus...
They were a special bunch of b's alright ...
God bless them. You are far too young to remember them.
@@raftonpounder6696 god bless them ??? God wouldn't piss on them !!! They where a shower of bigoted bastards ,who caused more damage than stopped it .
@@TheNinyo77 yes because they were good at what they did and prevented the IRA from wrecking the country. Once they were gone, all hell broke loose. It’s funny how Republicans number one target for disbandment were the B Men. I wonder why?
@@raftonpounder6696 ohhhh ffs please ,lol lol you literally sound like a fool saying that sort of shit , these where simple and I mean challenged men in every aspect of life , couldnt read ,couldnt write ,sectarian and bigoted too the bone , they ran ffs outa the bogside ,kids with bricks and bottles beat them , NOT one shot fired at them ,same on the to falls rd ,they led the pogrom on Bombay st ,Dover st etc and faced only men and boys from the lower falls area ,and STILL couldn't suppress them ,they failed in EVERY task they where given ,except murder a child Patrick Rooney aged 9 , a serving soldier Trooper McCabe ,and even one of the full-time cops who disagreed with them Victor Arbuckle
@@TheNinyo77 you know just enough not to eat yourself. The Specials were not involved at all in The Battle of the Bogside. The UVF shot Arbuckle in rioting because of the Hunt Report. There is nothing you have said has any truth in it. All worthy of An Phoblacht. Lies, bigotry and hatred. That’s all you know.
The SA
Time uncovers all lies
Well said my man
The state of denial is alive and well in the north of Ireland. As Shakespeare stated a rose by any other name is still a Rose. The police force of the north of Ireland call it what you like it still the b-specials…….
Says the resident of the country about to elect the IRA into power. Oh the irony.
@@raftonpounder6696 We've all been sold down the river by lying politicians on both sides.
Hard to swallow I know, so many good people died for what.
God save Ulster,
Munster, Leinster and Connacht .
@@tomasomaonaigh7659 you are so right.
Disbanding Bs was a great success? Disband UDR? Disband RUC? Disband British Army? Is there a trend? Disband the Free State Army? Disband PSNI? I think we know what you want.
@@johnmccormick334 yes. They almost have their dream. An IRA controlled Ireland. That will end well!
If he was in ROI he would get PRSI dental benefits !. Foolish Boy.

There's only one side.And if you don't know it you are the problem.
Back of that wagons reg "CIA" da fuck??
You'd be surprised at how many vehicle plates are occultic and display messages. We have been duped and hoodwinked by these secret societies as they operate hidden in plain sight.
Best intelligence service from Jo average man there has ever been. Ira terrorists don't like regular forces who can read their evil actions. To save life n community..
🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Smell the colonialism. Brookbourough and his English accent.
should be a lollypop man on his face to stop the traffic
The B-Specials remind me of the Israelies...Our Day will Come..
Stand up for yourself Like a good paddy said. No future and Englands burning.
Dublin is burning at the moment 🤣🤣🤣
Us Paddy's always stood up for ourselves and burnt plenty
What dors B Specials mean
Protestant milita
If I remember correctly:
•A Specials were full-time and paid
•B Specials were part-time and unpaid
•C Specials were usually unpaid old farts for static guard duties
•C1 Specials are just some C Specials that can be called in case crap hits the fan
