    A very good interview I must say
    But I also must say how astonished I am that a man that spent so many years in the RUC knew so little about
    COLLUSION with loyalists
    Also how he knew so little about the interrogation of suspects
    Also how little he knows about beating confessions out of innocent people
    So I deduct from that man's interview that I'm not getting the full
    story
    That man was and is part of one of the most bigoted police forces in Western Europe
    So I certainly will not be buying his books
    And I also would like to add I have read a lot of books on the RUC
    Thanking you from co meath

      Would you be as equally outraged at members of the Irish Defence Forces helping to train IRA members? The Republic being a safe haven for members of said organisation? It's the double standards that sicken me, you can only be a victim if you're a nationalist background

    I went all through the troubles. I worked in hospitals and saw the results. The sight will never leave me, I am doomed to carry these images to my grave. I am fed up with all opinions on what happened, It's a bit like the bible, people twist history to suit themselves or their political views and unfortunately, they are aided and abated by the Likes of the BBC who wouldn't let the truth get in the way of a good story. Unfortunately, I have witnessed things that really happened and had to deal with many of the outcomes. Belfast has gone through a lot over the troubled time, but it is more like the Wild West. No law and order, drug barons people trafficking. If I were younger I would leave, but the only piece I'll get is when I am dead.

    Members of the english security services who committed murder in Ireland must be brought before the courts also members of the ruc who aided and abetted murder (we know this is evident from the ombudsman) these criminal individuals must be it must happen that they are charged before a court sitting in Ireland and they must be handed long prison sentences. We must have justice
