Some interesting ‘Likes’ on the Facebook obituary for IRA member Sean Clinton.

Interesting to note his present day comrades are invited!

Can Suzanne Breen - political editor of The Belfast Telegraph - explain why she liked a post announcing funeral arrangements for the "friends and comrades past and present" of former Provo and 'Dissident' psychopath Sean Clinton?

Looking forward to seeing the images of four Loyalist Flute Bands on parade today in Belfast with the Ulster-Scots Agency, as reported mid-week by @BelTel
Apology pending?

[FGAU @PurpleStandard]

@BelTel Really?!

“No evidence of collusion in UVF bombings of Dublin and Monaghan”

Another republican contrived myth crumbles 👇 https://t.co/8kyY1oncUK

Op Denton finds the ‘Glennane gang’ as promoted by Republican campaigners for decades “did not exist”:

“ (1) An easily defined discrete ‘Glenanne gang’ did not exist. The term has evolved over time to become a convenient shorthand construct, used widely to group together the horrific activities of a broader network of paramilitary groups

(2) It is therefore not possible to describe a clearly defined ‘Glenanne series’ of offences.”

BBC will be very upset that contrary to their wishes & false reporting, the full report (around 500 pages) was blocked- and what’s worse, the summary of findings completely debunk nationalism’s narrative.

Hard day for the BBC.

[Jamie Bryson @JamieBrysonLLB]

In three paragraphs, nationalism’s decades long narrative falls apart 👇

You won’t see these findings put up in lights by the BBC, obviously .

[Jamie Bryson @JamieBrysonLLB]

Operation Denton findings will conclude:

🚨 NO ‘Collusion’ in Dublin & Monaghan bombings, carried out by UVF alone without assistance.

🚨’Glennane Gang’ - “did not exist”, but rather was just a name created to group together various incidents. There was no high level ‘collusion’.

After decades of nationalist/republican propaganda, in particular by the Pat Finucane Centre and their ‘Lethal Allies’ publication, it is all shown - by an inquiry they themselves demanded- to have been fantasy.

[Henry Wilson @1stBaronetDSO]

Deepest sympathies to Republican activist groups, biased Nationalist journalists/press and gullible, lazy media following the Operation Denton report rubbishing the existence of a 'Glenaane Gang'.

[Henry Wilson @1stBaronetDSO]

TR wants the truth.
Happy to oblige 👍

[FGAU @PurpleStandard]

For years Loyalists and those with an insight into Loyalist organisations have laughed at the “Glenanne Gang” myth.

Blogger/Researcher/Author Iain Turner has dispelled the myth on various occasions. 👇🏻

Also worth noting that some people made a lot of money perpetuating the myth!

[Belfast News Letter @News_Letter]

'The UVF was independently capable of carrying out the attacks': No evidence of collusion in 1974 bombings of Dublin and Monaghan, says Operation Denton review https://t.co/lrjzy8FzJG

[Jamie Bryson @JamieBrysonLLB]

BBC TalkNationalist @williamcrawley outdone itself today.

Focused on a ‘Glennane Gang’ which “didn’t exist” & so called collusion which was debunked on a systemic scale.

Constantly interrupting pro British state contributors, but giving nationalists/republicans a free rein.

TalkNationalist might as well be produced in SF HQ. A disgraceful program which raises serious questions about BBC bias.

[ThePurpleStandard @UlsterWillFight]

The nefarious myth, contrived and driven by Republicans, finally crumbles.

There was NO COLLUSION!

The ‘Glenanne Gang’ NEVER EXISTED!

There are red faces in many quarters today…

[Henry Wilson @1stBaronetDSO]

The middle ground does not go out of its way to act like performing seals at a festival created and perpetuated for Provo propaganda.

Any Unionist taking part should check under it's bonnet for dark matter of dead Provos and agit-prop bigotry, then take a good look at themselves

[Union Cruiser @CruiserUnion]

Is anyone taking bets on the next Unionist background useful idiot getting dragged out at Feile an Provai?

[BigOnion 😁 @Bigonionsoitis]

Where are all the but but you burn the tricolour people now 👀 they even blurred rambos face out because he's holding an apprentice boys collarette 🙄😴

[ThePurpleStandard @UlsterWillFight]

Appalling disregard for the journalistic code of practice.
This shocking attempt at ‘humour’ is to be condemned at every level, and is completely reflective of the material that we in Northern Ireland have come to expect, from ‘journalists’ affiliated to a certain newspaper!
