    This has been the best podcast yet on The Troubles. So many myths of what Loyalists did or didn't do throughout that time being debunked, one by one. Well done to both gentlemen involved.

    An relative of mine was in psychiatric hospital periodically throughout the 70's near Belfast , where he met several notorious Shankill Rd UVF men , who boasted openly of their involvement in the butcher's murders, announcing gleefully that their presence in hospital negated any future prosecution in the unlikely event that the RUC might actually apprehend them.

    In spite of this guy's remonstrations that the establishment did not collude with loyalists, citing proof as being their jailing a number of them. This was done rather ,as a matter of seeding the ranks of the UVF and UDA with the relevant agents and assets, removing those who did not meet the requirements, which had the added bonus of appearing to be equally subject to the rule of law as republicans.

      I know of one. Only because he is a neighbour of mine.
      He admitted his part in killings.
      He went on to serve a lengthy prison sentence and has since become a cross community worker with kids, as well as helping the old folks in the community. I understand he has visited West Belfast a number of times, meeting with Sinn Fein people (in the course of his community work).
      I won't name names, because he served his time and has attempted to give something back. I also feel certain he regrets his actions of the past.

    When you speak about loyalist paramilitaries matching there enemies with tactics and even strength of power of the bombs is highlighted in the film about a British. soldier being sent to Northern Ireland during the troubles. The film is called "71" in my opinion its an excellent film . There's a part in the film where loyalist paramilitary unit is having a meeting upstairs in a pub with an undercover British military intelligence officer and he carefully gives them a bomb and says to the loyalists "right we took this off the enemy the ira they were going to use it on you but you blow them up using this bomb and it will show the enemy that you can and will match them with what ever they got knife for knife gun for gun bomb for bomb etc" those weren't his exact words but they where words to that effect please allow me to exercise my artistic license lol "im a peacock captain you gotta let me fly"
    Also to add to what you said about people may class the I.N.L.A as the dregs of society and too psychopathic for the PROVISIONAL I.R.A. There's a series on ITVX called LOVE/HATE about the goings on in the republic of Irelands criminal underworld the drugs gangs of Ireland.
    Later in the series i believe a paramilitary group is involved in the story line they ask to have firearms come in on the same shipment as the criminals cocaine and heroin shipments to which they have to agree if not they probably be shot .I think the paramilitary group may of been the INLA i will have to watch it all again to check and see if not the I.n.l.a. then defo its the provisional I.r.a. Its a very interesting series. Whoever reads my comment i have given you two great things to watch firstly the film about the troubles in northern Ireland and a British soldier called "71"
    Secondly a series on itvx called Love/Hate about rep of Irelands Drug gangs the underworld, guns, drugs and prostitution with a splash of paramilitaryism and helpings of betrayal.
    Many thanks for making this historical informative video its good some times to listen to people sharing the truth about subjects sometimes especially how you cant really trust the news we hear nowadays from big news networks were only told what they want us to hear and what ever promotes there Agenda we will be told to them never mind if what they report is the TRUTH or not.

    Ps Also i wonder and i question how many Luty 9mm diy submachine guns do you think were on the streets and in the hands of the paramilitary organisations its a question i wonder about especially when I'm reminded like i was by watching this excellent podcast. If people don't know Who Luty was or the Luty Submachine its a guy in the Uk who didn't agree with the Uk ridiculously strict gun control laws and he set out to show how any person if they put there mind to it could make a machine gun in there own garden shed using basic hand tools and easily accessible metal materials to make the machine gun he succeeded and not only did he succeed in making the Luty submachine gun but he went on to write a book explaining the details behind making a 9 mm submachine gun.
    You just know by writing the book and publishing it the British government are not going to look upon that undertaking with glee further more his actions did sorely vex them sorely vex them indeed and he was thrown in prison for a lengthy prison sentence but hey he's a HERO to Me. And its possible to read the book online or order it etc if you do don't be stupid don't break the law of the country you live in. His book is called " Expedient homemade firearms" by P.A.luty

      True, some recruits into Loyalist paramilitaries tend have dual membership or membership in multiple factions. It can also be on a tier basis from YCVs for several years into the UVF usually in their twenties or late teens and those selected after into the Protestant Action Force and other discrete Ulster offshoots.
