Stakeknife: British spy in IRA probably cost more lives than saved in Troubles 

Meanwhile the UK wants under cover police officers infiltrating protests to be immune from prosecution. This follows an inquiry into over 40 spy cops who had relationships with activists while undercover including many who had kids.

Ground breaking stuff - The British military was sent in to crush a rising in one of the colonies and they killed more than they saved. Serious shock

Convenient that it comes out after his death, nobody gets charged and Boutcher gets the PSNI job. I dont think this will satisfy the families of our informers who were killed to secure scaps cover.

The British Government enabled & supported numerous different loyalist murder gangs to torture & butcher innocent Catholic Irish (generally young men) for nearly 30 years in the North; it's well documented, & open to the public, just not talked about very much for obvious reasons. And of course the authorities did very occasionally manage to gather some accurate intel on actual active service IRA members too in order to be targeted. The fact that the British government let their top undercover agent carry out regular murder & torture should be of no surplice, & isn't for anyone who grew up in the North.

A complicit Tory government it must be pointed out. Then as ever enemies of peace on the island of Ireland.

The word tory is derived from the Irish for crook. They warned the english about them 400 years ago. Togh Thoraí, ag súil go robái. Choose a tory, Expect to be robbed

Never would have happened if Northern Ireland was where it belongs as part of the Republic. One day. 🙏

Just a friendly reminder (from your local Presbyterian elder) that the Protestant paramilitaries killed primarily civilians despite the financial, intelligence, and military support from successive UK governments.

As a Englishman I’m sorry

My auntie in Clonard Rd ( lower Falls ) knew about Stakeknife years ago . And so did just about everybody else in that area ! British " Intelligence "..🤔🤔 Way did Gerry and Martin know. ?🤔🤔

Some of his crimes you put him in that place, which makes you complicit. You are an accomplice in 14 murders. 14 wow And Now you’re trying to distance yourself from this man, you’re that man’s employer he was working for you, you gave him permission

Both sides were criminal scum bags, unfortunately, these cowards chose on almost all occasions to kill innocents rather than each other while all the time the British army patrolled trying not to get caught out by the bombs and ambushes set up to kill them. The more secret elements of this problem chose not to speak to each other or the men on the ground and played their games of intelligence gathering leaving many to take their chances all the time running of many of these assets was almost a waste of time. There were countless because as pointed out most were cowards and sold out to the highest bidder. The same problem still exists in the police today, this form of running assets agents or informants usually allows the more dangerous elements to continue their nefarious ways all the while getting scant intelligence that can hardly be used because of safety concerns to the very people who are giving the information. Intelligence for the sake of it is almost useless. Time for a total change of perspective.

If he's still alive or around, he should be arrested immediately for all the lives lost back then.

They say alot about Stakeknife but they are too cowardly to mention Saludfork

Surprise Surprise! Isn’t this just the way it’s always been?..and continues

Is it me, or does he look like Netanyahu?

So corrupt

A Scottish Brigadier was in charge of the most deadliest force in Northern Ireland it was called the FRU - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force_Research_Unit

"Probably"?

Big boy games, big boy rules.

Seven year long investigation, that’s absolute nonsense because we knew about this stuff in my teens, I’m 47 now

0:01 - I didn't know Burt Reynolds was in the IRA.

Probably being the operative word.

the steak knife is in the ref erf raf arf i mended the knife by stripping the starting device down old inglish

If England just stayed out of Ireland then there never would have been an IRA.. I genuinely despise the British governments for what they have done to Ireland

Why the government trying to cover their crimes not the man who followed orders no try distroy a man that Carnt fight back

We know, that your M.O, you have an extensive track record of doing stuff like this. This is why you’re not trusted and we’ve had enough.

May General Election then 🙄

Why was not it called Steak knife?

Deflecting from the current state of the place! Here and now, sort your country out now.

WTF

Is he really stakenife.or a patsy .is somebody else stakenife

Smiley gently unfurled his coat, taking care to smooth out the wrinkles that clung to the cuffs like Roman grapevines. He sat down, shook his daily crossword, and stood up again, furrowing his brow. Nine across read SNAFU in neat green smallcaps. The Circus, code for Britain's intelligence service, had just lost a dozen more irreplacable soldiers to IRA terrorists. Smiley shuffled around the bar stool, briefly elevating his stout frame. "Well f*** me," he mused, "The bar's out of crisps."

I wonder how many innocent children, woman and men would be alive in the UK today I wonder if their lives are still remembered. Huh? That was then and this is now. Stop digging up the past ,

😮

Disgusting.

It’s common knowledge now the UDA had stake knife on there radar but was told by special branch to give him a pass it’s the wrong person so they killed another person instead , that’s the issue have with it all other then that he took out the enemy what’s the problem ??? They weren’t agents there was touts that’s why certain deaths weren’t stopped

de,erf ed,erf fre,de 🤣🤣🤣🤣

PIRA is riven.

IRA means what?

Oh, so the people who committed the atrocities aren't to blame. Nice logic there. In other news, Adolf Eichmann was found to be innocent after being screwed over by the German government. This is a blanket shifting of the blame to the English.

1st of @ll this guys name is hilarious. 2ndly If Stakeknife hesitated, he'd be killed. He'd even have to be a planner not just participant.

What about the trauma from covid and mass immigration when will all that come out what about the trauma of loosing our freedoms and cash
