      For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
      John 3:16-21
      16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
      Mark 1.15
      15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
      2 Peter 3:9
      The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
      Hebrews 11:6
      6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

    "Completes the trilogy and makes it a quartet!" The man has been amongst the Irish for so long he now speaks in Irishisms :- ) I love listening to Peter Taylor. At 57, I have been listening to him all my life. He follows the truth. Wonderful that you are interviewing him. Gerry Adams next or Tony Blair or John Major or George Mitchell. You are playing a blinder!

    Peter Taylors documentaries about 'The Troubles' are second to none. His trilogy 'Provos: Sinn Fein & the IRA. Loyalists & Brits' were brilliant. His three part documentary in 2000 'Brits' covered 'The Dirty War'. Very objective imo. No axe to grind. Presents the facts from both sides. Read his last book 'Operation Chiffon'. Great read. Really enjoyed this interview. Great stuff.

    Peter Taylor has been reporting and writing on The Troubles since 1969. He still has significant connections within all parties concerned who continue to treat him with trust and respect. Given the fact that he hasn't shied away from being very critical on all parties involved at times I think that speaks for the mans integrity and professionalism.

      What about the RAF bombing of Hamburg / Dresden etc.? Thousands of civilians killed. I haven't always agreed with Gerry Adams but , during a TV interview once I recall him saying " It's
      completely pointless people on BOTH sides constantly saying : yeah, but what about when your lot did this etc...? "
      And he was dead right.! We are where we are and no amount of
      Moral philosophy debate gets us one step further.

    Peter Taylor seems very vague about the Warrington bombing and how it came about.? It wasn't sanctioned by any of the individuals who British Intelligence
    were dealing with at the time. ! Certainly not by Martin McGuiness . For Peter to
    dismiss this as " that's just the way they operate. " is a very inadequate
    response to the interviewers question. Does he think Adams or McGuiness knew
    about Enniskillen ..?? We know that they didn't . As for " Scap " , he was not the
    sharpest knife in the drawer ( excuse pun ) and he knew even less about those
    operations . He knew the identities of several touts but that was about it.
    The notion that he was a source of earth shattering information about major
    IRA operations is moonshine. He was a grubby , not very bright and not even very
    useful pawn in the game . No doubt he thought his " handlers " were a bunch
    of eedjits ? And rightly so..! His handlers watched too many episodes of
    Tinker , Taylor...and deluded themselves into thinking they were dealing with
    moles, the Circus and Karla etc...
