The Derby bar was bombed for not paying protection money to the IPLO or for not giving the IPLO a % od drug money sold on the premises, these "Revolutionary taxes" as the IPLO called them had been around for decades at this point. The Afghan militias sold Opium to fund their wars & the PLO sold Lebanese Hashish to fund operations against the IDF. The IPO sold E tablets, that drugs in the late 80s to mid-90s cost £25 a tablet, which is about 60 Euro today. I took E tabs in my late teens about 25 - 30 times in 2005/2006, I could see it's appeal alright, by the time I took my first one the price had dropped a lot, and the tabs were only 5 Euro in Bray.
No problem, the Irish People's Liberation Organization is such an interesting story, it started with such great potential but it turned into a disaster & tragedy.
@@ShaneGallager Do you have any clips relating to the feuds between inla and iplo and all the factions within and without please Shane? I too find it a very interesting story, and like you said they had such potential at the start. I liked Seamus Costello and what he was trying to do in the political sense. I'm just interested in a different opinion here so gonna ask why do you think that they were more inclined to carry out sectarian attacks than the provos ?
@@Paul-b7v When you say IPLO feud do you mean the 1992 internal feud or the 1987 INLA feud that only some of the IPLO Belfast Brigade were involved in?
@@ShaneGallager Cheers for getting back to me Shane, I would be interested in any news clips at all regarding inla and or iplo not just things about the fall outs. I was just interested in getting your opinion when it comes to some of the quite blatant sectarian ops and whether you think or know if those kind of actions were sanctioned by the leadership or not.
@@Paul-b7v Hi, I'm uploading some IPLO actions today. With the INLA, the attacks at Darkley & the Central Bar (Decmeber 1975 ) were not sanctioned by the leadership, hence why the people carrying them out used cover-names, Armagh People's Republican Army for the Central Bar & Catholic Reaction Force for Darkly, the other sectarian killing was in December 1975 four weeks before when a INLA unit picked out two men they believed were UDA men & the leadership believed they were telling the truth. But with the INLA & like the PIRA after 1986 the Belfasr Brigades held more power at times than the Dublin Leadership. something that helped break the IRA into Official & Provo wings, as the pre-split IRA Leadership was all based in Dublin. something the Provos did smartly was have at least 2 members from the six counties always on the the Provo IRA Army Council, in 1995, after the IRA had been on ceasefire for 16 months & the British made no politiccal moves it was vital having those 6 County members on the Army Council, and the bomb for the Docklands was made by the South Armagh Brigade as was the Manchester bomb four months later. The IPLO leadership was a bit different it changed at least 3 times in four years, after their two best military strategists Martin Corrigan & Rook O'Prey were killed in 1991 the leadership based in Belfast launched a series of revenge sectarian attacks, one of which I just uploaded for you with more on the way.
