    The Finucane matter will be kicked down the road until such a time as any viable witnesses or others with pertinent information are long gone.

    That’s all folks.

    Always admired the quiet dignity of Geraldine Finucane and her family

    Douglas Hogg put 3 names to the RUC and British army these 3 people where to be eliminated as they where the 3 best human rights lawyers in the north and who stood up to the corrupt justice system of the time
    THEY WHERE the late PJ McGrory , the late Oliver Kelly and Pat, what they wanted to do was to wipe out the nationalist legal team who along with Rosemary Nelson ( also Murdered by a British/ loyalist murder squad) spent their energies and time defending republicans
    As far as i know the free state never did or lifted a finger to have the people who committed these crimes brought to justice
    So what is so special about Stack ???
    I WOULD ALSO LIKE TOP POINT OUT THAT WHEN OLIVER KELLY WAS INTERNED IN 1971 HE WROTE THE TESTIMONY OF THE PEOPLE WHO SUFFERED BEATINGS AND TORTURE WHICH WAS FORWARDED TO THE IRISH GOVERNMENT
    IN MARCH 1972 OLIVER WAS REARRESTED AND RE-INTERNED FOR A PERIOD OF 3 YEARS AND EVEN THO HE WAS A PRACTISING SOLICITOR AT THE TIME THE FREE STATE DID WHAT THEY DO BEST THEY STOOD IDLY BY

      Hogg was certainly a fool for making his infamous statement, but I don’t know that he put forward specific names to any group for elimination.
      Have you a source for that?

      “was to wipe out the nationalist legal team who along with Rosemary Nelson ( also Murdered by a British/ loyalist murder squad) ”

      RUC officers openly told Rosemary Nelson that they were going to murder her. The RUC constantly harassed Rosemary, on one occasion even spitting in her face and on another getting physically violent.

      Needless to say, RUC, UVF, UDA, MRF, British Army, FRU, SAS, etc were all working together. Collusion is no illusion.

    There is a paper trail on the Finucane murder coverup that leads right to Thatcher’s cabinet table. Blair made that statement to Ahern during the GFA negotiations and if you remember Cameron’s retracted comment about some of those involved still knocking around the civil service, you’ll know that it is only time until those papers see the light of day.

    Thatcher is a terrorist. The UK govt are terrorists. Always have been.

    The Finucane issue reminds me of how the shinners/provos are not dealing with the Brian Stack case. Gerry has made another mess and he is digging frantically to get himself out of a process that puts him front and centre of withholding information.

    Adams can’t lose any more credibility the “n” word calling shinner/provo, didn’t have any in the first place.

    “A man whose brother was killed in the Kingsmills massacre has challenged the Irish Foreign Minister as to whether Pat Finucane was worth more than the ten men killed in that atrocity.

    Colin Worton, whose brother was one of the ten civilians shot by the IRA in south Armagh in 1976 as they returned home from work, was speaking after Minister Charlie Flanagan told the Council of Europe that the UK should hold a public inquiry into the murder of Belfast solicitor Pat Finucane”.

    Jude who stated on radio yesterday, the best leader of Sinn Fein/IRA is Gerry Adams, and he himself who is all about “equality” especially when it comes the them “bastards”!!! Has redefined “equality” as only sometimes and when it suits his agenda!!!!
