God John this is the tip top episode that you have published to date. I was very impressed by Jons factual story as I have good friends in Tyrone who have regaled me with many stories which Jon have indeed colobrated. Had to smile when he was comparing the Tyrone boys with our own West Cork Brigade. I knew Tom Kelleher who was a famous member of Barry's unit & he stated when asked about the difference between his IRA & The Provisional's was ''SEMTEX''.
Fascinating stuff. Well done Jon, it's lifted a lid on what we're very dark memories from my childhood. I hope you and you're family are doing well. Roy
Just read the book and what a fantastic read. Extremely detailed even down to dates and times of operations carried out in east Tyrone. Some of the stories in this book are astonishing, brutal but down right astonishing to fine details of covert ops by security forces. Also I would point out that Johnathan Trigg wrote this book as a running chronically Tyrone diary and there was no predudice for or against any side of the conflict in his writing. If one side had carried out an atrocity it was noted as an atrocity regardless if it was PIRA or UVF etc. Highly recommend this book.
One lad survived. The SAS saw him and they knew he was one by them by the look of him but he drove past. He must have spoke with them when they first drove past?!?
He is virtue signalling to an Irish audience , Ira murders are ‘killings’ , loyalist murders are ‘disgusting murders’ , He seems to portray this gang as virtuous altar boys . I forget the name, but a senior Ira man from cork , who was seconded to Tyrone, wrote that they were more interested in killing Protestant farmers than fighting the British army , I don’t think I’ll be buying the book.
A Rep of Ireland Govt memo released 30 years later alleged Gerry Adams gave MI-5 the tip, It read that Adams and Lynagh were having a dispute about the war and talks, Lynagh wasn't getting updates On the talks so he told Adams they'd carry out a major attack as planned. The memo didn't go too much into it ,just Adams and Lynagh were at odds. I find it hard to buy
He said Seamus Donnelly was driving the van… he wasn’t Seamus Donnelly died at the side-door of the van along side Tony Gormley. Eugene Kelly was driving the van and died in the driver’s seat.
@@Deckyladwas he wrong about the cappagh counter ambush? I thought the volunteer Martin was in the car in front being tailed by the SAS and they had a car behind also?
@@RogerRamjet-t3j Useryg bla bla bla you leave rude comments about comments I have made yet agree with others do u know me I’m 61 and your handle follows me one time support another nasty. Are you someone born in 98.
@@fF-jb4gsA guy boasting about his counter insurgency business model and how they help the yanks and he said in his words as a totally biased unionists.....loughall was not " to give the ira a bloody nose" . It was because of a stolen digger that was a giveaway but who knows. It was going nowhere as we now know.
Castro's Guerillas shocked Batista's army by gaining a foothold in the Maestra mountains and the US army panicked to rush out a book to combat this trend.
Third time listening this is up there with Seamus Kearney's and the Sas guy Harry is it for me . Listeners like an share this one so other people get it as a recommendation from the algorithm.
John I love your show you should do a video if possible on the sectarian war during the troubles on north Belfast they estimate that 1 in 3 people murdered during the troubles was killed in north Belfast I think you’re shows are very informative and greatly presented
It's not Brendan Hughes(the dark) who died in 2008 he's talking about chara it's another pira oglach with the same name who was from Tyrone he masterminded the mountjoy helicopter escape & another escape from portloise his story is on this same podcast just a couple of weeks ago was a brilliant watch Chara highly recommended..the Brendan Hughes(the dark)you're on about from Belfast I was in the flute band from near Glasgow & must say was a privilege to walk in the DARK'S honour & name everytime i put my band uniform on& to also meet his lovely family.VBHRFB#1🥁👌🇮🇪🏴🇮🇪👍💚🤍🧡
think their card was marked when they made threats to the bosses of their own organisation,as in any organisation when you do that normaly you get side lined,
I would not want to know what someone thought of me it's what I think of myself that's important we all have I guess abit of respect for each other after all aren't we all trying to survive on this planet but we can learn alot from each other to do good
At the end anyone that did not agree was killed infomed by there own look at billy Wright he new too much . one thing we would all agree this will never happen again no one can trust anyone . both sides died for what they beleave in . let them rest in peace leave there graves alone.
These Tyrone lads were sacrificed. God bless them and there families. Same as the hunger strikers.Maggie would have let a 100 die never mine 10,she hated the Irish.Just look at Liverpool in England,the way she allowed the standard off life go through the floor.
Please ask questions like was there a shoot to kill policy in Ulster and pop in and out 26counties , Working hand in hand with loyalists death squads,, the British aramy came in 1969 to help the bigots of stormont.., the boys of east Tyrone,took the fight to the British war machine in ireland...R.I.P the gallant men of loughall, Never forgotten ...🇮🇪🏴🇮🇪🏴✊✊
Does the shoot to kill only apply to the Ira ? They want to kill however they like but when the tables are turned they start crying “ it’s not fair the Brits are shooting to kill us “
The fact that he blatantly talks from the perspective of an occupier from the very beginning of the video says a lot. The way in which he talked seems like he didn't even realize it. 🤷
Another banger John…… Keep them coming mate. I read a comment about you haven’t got time to edit for shorts, if you need any help with anything drop me an email, you have my email address. Warren from Manchester. And thanks for the reply mate nice words.

I like this objective approach to historical story telling. The bare naked facts without any moralising or political bias.
Great podcasts, keep them coming. Thanks
John John John what can I say absolutely top episode this on is up there with Seamus kearney pod . Thank you keep them coming good work.
One of your best interviews. The author comes across very well informed and unbias. Keep up the good work! I will be buying the book too
It’s worth it a great book.
What's the book called
Another great podcast pal ✌️
Fascinating stuff. Well done Jon, it's lifted a lid on what we're very dark memories from my childhood. I hope you and you're family are doing well. Roy
Good that we can have a conversation with no bias.

How could he possibly know of the conversation in the Toyota van debating calling the op off, was the van bugged ??
Not looking for names, but is it well known who was the informant who set up the IRA at Loughall?@@patrickdevlin4060
I also wondered how thoughts & conversations could be known if there was no survivors. Maybe the scout cars felt uneasy?
One lad survived. The SAS saw him and they knew he was one by them by the look of him but he drove past. He must have spoke with them when they first drove past?!?

Yeah, they tried to ethnically cleanse farmers from the border areas .....tried to@@barneymagee3285
@@barneymagee3285That was Seán O'Callaghan who was an informer. His views were skewed as he was betraying the organisation he was part of.
Thanks , that’s the man , but it could be argued that things like this skewed his views on the organisation that he was once dedicated to.
@barneymagee3285 He was from my home town of Tralee. May he RIP but it's well known anything he said has to be taken with a grain of salt.
excellent chat. Jon Trigg knows his stuff
Can’t wait to listen to this. I love listening to Brits tell their side of the story
Jon Trigg, Ex-British Army & Author Is he not a Brit?

its not only that, jim was planning to break away and start his own thing while sinn fein was already realising the armed struggle was dying
Excellent book wish more were of the same quality. Good episode.

Was Tony Gormley from Castlederg

There is doubt about it - for e.g. ETB wouldn't have needed higher up approval for Loughgall.
When we were there in 1990 we took them seriously but never had any respect for them

Always wanted to know what went wrong at Loughal.
We still don't know.
If you had 30+ Loyalists on a job you can be sure 30+ of them were touts.

@@bootsymad9101 like scap?
As Brendan Hughes said, Belfast was rotten.
@@bootsymad9101I read a figure one time that Republican touts were as high as 80%+, loyalists were in the 90% mark. That’s some cash earned, tax free.
