Good news. Now if only someone would tell the PSNI to take on the UDA and UVF mafias.
@Seán Óg: yeah all 2500 members!
@Seán Óg: the UDA/UFF have close links with the PSNI and always had a change of name didn’t change anything
@frank_1916: Where’s your proof of that, and the PSNI are a vastly superior Police Service to the old RUC. You’re never bloody happy, and you’d still be giving out even if the Gardai were the Police Service up North.
@Aaron Jones: 12500
