    Ex-UDA leader is found hanged at football pitch

    A former leading UDA man has been found hanged at a football playing field in Belfast, it has emerged. Mark Barr, who has been linked with Johnny Adair's C Company and was once charged in connection with the murder of Belfast solicitor Pat Finucane, was found hanging at Forthriver Road on Wednesday morning.

    A spokesman for the PSNI said that no crime was suspected.

    It was claimed today that officers from the Historical Enquiries Team have applied for a court order for permission to take Barr's fingerprints. Belfast Telegraph

    This plus the DUP resignations shows unionism is becoming a dead end of political evolution.

    Even by your standards that is a particularly simplistic nonsensical comment.
