Thank you for compiling and posting these programmes and videos. Growing up in what was a very segregated Scottish West Coast the "Troubles" always seemed very close. As a protestant schoolboy we were segregated from the catholic kids and even 50 years ago in the mainland there was a palpable sense of mistrust between our own communities. I was fortunate enough to move away whilst still at school and later fell in love with and married a practising catholic girl.
Kevin Taylor passed in 2001 due to complications from heart surgery, age 68. He managed to live long enough, however, to exact a little justice. In 1995 he sued Greater Manchester Police for malicious prosecution, and in June of that year agreed to an out-of-court settlement for an estimated £1 million whch he used to buy a large home in Helmshore where he lived with his wife, and daughters, for the remainder of his life.
I would like to think that I am quite knowledgeable about most of the troubles, I am flabbergasted that I knew nothing of the Kevin Taylor, aspect of the John Stalker involvement in the troubles. Nevermind state collusion with paramilitaries, the lengths that security services would go to, to protect their dirty war, and its secrets is unfathomable. It just gives truth to the lie that was "The British government had no "selfish strategic or economic" interest in Northern Ireland". Even if the British Government is "leaving" a former colony, they have to poison the well, before they leave, it's in their nature. How much shorter would the troubles have lasted if the british government didn't perpetuate the violence. If in fact they actually wanted peace , it would only be peace on their terms, maintaining a protestant parliament for a protestant people.
I wouldn't disagree with everything you said there, id never heard of this either and iv watched alot and read of the troubles as well, growing up as it ended. In my view the people of Northern Ireland wanted peace, war weariness crept in and even if it was a dirty war in terms of the British, how do you think they look at what is now termed as the Endgame. It seems all their tactics no matter how bad they were, it is the Northern Ireland of today that probably matters.
What a nasty way to speak to anyone. You think I jump when ppl tell me too, you think ima walkover or something pal? Keep up your lip and ill send your account bouncing into the banned category. FYI narration was purposely put on one side , leave the work to the ppl that know what they are doin okay. The cheek of ye.
The uploader goes to every effort to get these films into the best possible quality for upload . It's not like the originals are in Netflix standard 4k or whatever. Sometimes we have to forsake a small amount of quality when getting the history out there for people to see. Maybe 80 percent (prob nearer 90 but i dont wanna exaggerate) of the videos on This site would never be seen if ATL hadn't uploaded them. The shorter news clips its almost 100 percent of them would not be seen if not uploaded here.
