  • Episode five traces how unionist anger grew as IRA attacks on the security forces killed members of their community.
    When Margaret Thatcher signed the Anglo-Irish Agreement in 1985, giving the Republic of Ireland political influence in the North, the anger spilled over into talk of insurrection.
    The programme reveals how loyalist groups rearmed and used intelligence leaks from soldiers and police to boost their campaign of killing, including new information about MI5 agents operating inside the largest loyalist group, the Ulster Defence Association.

    "A Protestant parliament for a Protestant people" is a term that has been applied to the political institutions in Northern Ireland between 1921 and 1972 (wiki.) When you have been accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.

    Johnny Adair and intelligence are words you rarely hear in the same sentence.

    About 10 seconds in and the "Irish border" phrase gets trotted out. The Irish border is the coastline around the island of Ireland.

    Back when I learned about this I remember a good few things but I didnt know that this was the reaction of the Anglo Irish agreement.

    The directive for Pat Fanucans murder came from the highest level in the British state.

    I was told by my boss to burn a pile of rubbish. I noticed something rolled up. Turns out it was the banner that was fixed to the top table in Ulster Hall the night Ulster Resistance was formed. I still have it. Didn't burn it as I thought to myself "there's a piece of history " This occurred about 20 years ago.
