DUP to name SF informer: Sunday Times

[the hatchetman]

Let's hope whoever it is doesn't share the ultimate fate as Denis Donaldson.

There is dark powers up north that want us back in the 70's. sectarianism is still rife, maybe worst than it was 10 years ago. mI5 up in belfast. Put that in perspective, relatives of the 6 counties biggest bomb in terms of loss of life believe this organisation was behind it.
The RUC are still recruiting informers and have many members still involved with loyalists paramilitaries. Maybe with PSF as well.
The Problem up here is the brits, how the unionist community up there cant see that, bewilders me.
There can only be peace in Ireland under the government of a 32 county republic.

Why do people not question this practice? It is libel, privilege or not. If this person has not been arrested and charged and convicted of a crime by the PSNI, then it is libel. Commons privilege is sullied every time someone does this, and I wonder why it is being allowed to continue. It isn't Sinn Fein which is harmed by the way...it is the relationship of the DUP to the Commons which is harmed. Everyone who participates in this is doing so toward the demeaning of the DUP--particularly including Murdoch's rag, The Times, which used to be respected for its journalism until it was denigrated into tabloidism in a cycle of exploitative trashy and worthless info-tainment. They are all engaged in a cannibalistic cycle, and the end result is that the participants just feel dirty....

The DUP's Dave Simpson is considering using Commons privilege to name a senior SF member who conspired in the murder of a RUC member and later became an informer. The person involved, according to the Times is considered to be as senior as Denis Donaldson was.

It would be more surprising if someone in PSF wasn't an informer.

Hey factual, how come when I make a smart arse comment about PSF you can respond, but when I ask you questions about PSF policy you can't?

Because your comment was ridiculous and childish.

Was that the comment n PSF policy you are referring to, and just incase you can't read it was factual I was referring to amadan

Let's not.

roll on autum, i cant wait to hear the shinners response to this story. But there is no doubt that there is more than one person within the leadership starting to sweat! And rightly so. Regardless of who they name, if anyone, i will not be suprised, as far as i am concerned every senior member of S.F. are all british agents running a british government in the north of ireland!!

You may think that. There are people who think the world is flat. Just because someone thinks something doesn't make it factually right.

(Jeez, and to think fantasists like you have a vote!)

Poneil, as you'll see in other posts, democracy is not a thing the insider feel strongly about.

So let me get this straight. This guy Simpson is going to abuse parliamentary privelige in order to endager the life of someone who risked their life helping defend the Union that`s so important to him so that he score political points against a party with which his own party is in government?

What a guy. His contituents are very lucky to have a guy of that calibre representing them.

a relitive of his was supposedly killed by this informer and then the ruc protected this informer.

it's probably time everything was opened up.

[poneill]

your right hatchetman, We know the craic, all you have to do is read the I.R.A. roll of honour, the majority of volunteers that were killed, were killed as a result of information provided by people like donaldson and ??????? ?????? who may be named. i am currently in east tyrone and a name is circulating already..

Your comment on Simpson is interesting. Regarding information coming out we will never get the full story on what any organisation got up to. All sides have skeletons that they never want out of their closets.
