Castlederg, look at the terrorist convictions rate for murder in that area during the troubles, don’t talk about blind eyes to murder, you know nothing.
More Loyalists jailed than Republicans? Absolute rubbish I will watch on dying to hear his bit about colluding with Loyalists surely he wil mention it .
Your talking nonsense the idea of every RUC police officer knew or colluded with the loyalists is almost as stupid as saying everyone in the Republic support blowing children women and old men to bits by the IRA bombers....seriously though think about it man
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
"One of the most bigoted police forces in Western Europe." . . . . FTRuc & the follow up useless 'petrol station parked up' psni.From one fuckin' extreme to another.....
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
Little naive in the questioning. Like most journalists not going to the roots of the situation.This was a police force established and maned by sections of the Protestant community solely to maintain Prodestant dominance. His lack of knowledge is Amazing ffs... ??? 58:4358:55 The two multiple murderes buying the drinks says everything ......
The Spin again that it was a normal criminal situation in a State, where as we all know it was a Struggle for Freedom against a foreign British Occupation.
Upholding English law in that part of Ireland. HAS 8 OUT OF THE NINE Counties of Ulster voted for European and Irish governments? So much for democracy!

Two jokers here...the interviewer...wtf
Castlederg, look at the terrorist convictions rate for murder in that area during the troubles, don’t talk about blind eyes to murder, you know nothing.
“So called hooded men!” The way he’s talking about that is unbelievably disrespectful!
These people heaped misery on the Catholic community
Wouldn't believe his radio
More Loyalists jailed than Republicans? Absolute rubbish I will watch on dying to hear his bit about colluding with Loyalists surely he wil mention it .
A lot of loyalists were in jail because they could not withstand the interagaton they were notorious statement signers .
@@JohnQuinn-om9qy A lot of loyalists did find their way inside but in no way shape or form did that number out weigh Republicans
@@northred4930the statistics prove you wrong
@@DK-cy5mt what stats ?
Your talking nonsense the idea of every RUC police officer knew or colluded with the loyalists is almost as stupid as saying everyone in the Republic support blowing children women and old men to bits by the IRA bombers....seriously though think about it man
Lock him up. DOB 🇮🇪
Didn't hear or see anything 😮
Yeah colin ,people where afraid to talk !! But you werent afraid to talk to loyalists !!! On a regular basis .
Thanks for helping keep the decent citizens safe during the troubles Colin. Your bravery is/was astounding.
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

Aye, sure he was saying that there was no talk between RUC men about religion or the constitutional debate. That’s just a big pile of 💩
Nothing could be worse than dying, knowing the part you played in enforcing sectarianism and the death of innocent catholics.
The murder squad were too busy murdering in their other job

This man is telling lies
cant stand listening to him , time for the truth
Did he just say that loyalists wouldn't have needed any pointers from the RUC to find Pat Finucane because of his work with the IRA?
But no,Downing Street kept them well fed and salaried to cripple justice and equality
Very nervous and poorly prepared questions, waste of time, until RUC PSNI come clean, lies continue
Hear no Evil See no Evil, was a Good Comedy film.
You should get an ex Ruc man with hearing and eyesight on your podcast. Think it would enhance the experience.
I didnt see, i didnt aee. Aye dead on
Is he for real
A Charlie Ward scoundrel if ever I saw one.
Join the ruc you deserved what you got
What about if they just needed a job?
Never seen anything best police force in the world what a joke
I no nothing 😂 26:54
Unfortunately I had to turn off this video, as this fellow's nose started to grow early , and took up the whole screen 😂😂😂
Bad interviewer
Good Pod Cast. I dont recognise him with serving in Tennent Street.
Don't believe a word outta his mouth
Upholding English law in that part of Ireland. HAS 8 OUT OF THE NINE Counties of Ulster voted for European and Irish governments?
So much for democracy!
How can someone south of border question a high up RUC officer, soft soap :(
In fairness he had an Ira man on and he generally just lets the guests speak
North South does it matter..hes been letting both sides speak.brit Republican loyalist ruc. Interesting the difference in what's said
9 mins in and the BS has started
99% prods100% unionist
Like the screen name
@@DrJ-hx7wv I try.
Unionist try loyalist
@@BrianShannon-zr4mlIt's the,, same ,only different .
Change of name, nothing changed
Thanks for your service, Colin..
the 3 mokeys come to mind
My comments have disappeared..!?
He traveled in a bulletproof car,more lies
They did have bullet proof cars .... remember they had maroon Sierra cars with green tinted glass in 80s and 90s
