Perhaps because he is a genuine psychopath? He covered for his pedophile brother Liam, even if by omission. He, along with the overrated Wee Martin, absolutely knew the movement was riddled with very high level informers and British agents. This furthered their long view political project.

Yeah I think so. I might do spotlight-type ones on different issues in the future. I had hoped these articles would be quick wins but they’re proving pretty difficult to compile.
There is certainly a very strong element of loyalists marking their territory and saying do not screw with us. This has a broader meaning than migration, applying to all outsiders, especially republicans and nationalists of any hue or origin. The final stand of hardline Loyalism?
