It was confirmed yesterday that the Brits had agents involved in the Omagh bombing, and that MI5 sabotaged the cop investigation. The news today of ghoulish cops abusing elderly, vulnerable people, exposes the SF leaders who claimed they’d “put manners” on the PSNI.
Two police officers have been sacked and 74 others disciplined following an investigation by the police ombudsman.
Two officers were involved in sickening treatment of vulnerable people as well as sharing racial, sexist and misogynistic memes.
74 officers were disciplined for accessing body cam footage with no reason to do so.

Ex Chief Superintendent Baxter in evidence to the @OmaghBombingInq now says that he wants to add to previous evidence that he believes an agent who drove the car bomb to Omagh on August 15 1998 was an MI5 and Garda informant.

"There shouldn't have been a Task force Commander there should have been an SIO" - the evidence of retired Chief Superintent Raymond Baxter on the Omagh Bomb Investigation. It was a serious disadvantage he said.
The Task Force Commander was Chief Superintendent Eric Anderson. Anderson was a block between Special Branch intelligence and the investigation according to Baxter. He did not put material into the system.

Some shocking claims being made at the Omagh bomb inquiry, particularly and why the investigation was interrupted by the spooks. “No stone unturned” said Ronnie Flanagan. This murderous cretin should carry out his grim promise.

Flanagan appointed Eric Anderson aka 'Crazy Horse' as 'Task Force Commander' of the Omagh investigation. He, Flanagan, was questioned why he appointed Anderson as TFC [contrary to all established practice]. He agreed it was the first time such a role was created. Flanagan argues it was to relieve the SIO. Interestingly he says it was out of discussions with ACC Raymond White [ on holiday at the time] that Anderson was appointed. Flanagan spoke to the officers who were *supposed* to be in charge to reassure them about Anderson's role. It didn't work.

I wonder if @rodneyedwards has an opinion on this. I hope he would support the @NUJofficial being recognised
The National Union of Journalists says the News Letter's new owner, Iconic Media, is refusing to recognise trade unions. Despite what staff say are intense pressures on them, the NUJ says some Iconic journalists earn less than £100 above the minimum wage.

John Kelly , Chair of the Bloody Sunday Justice Campaign, died peacefully in the early hours after a long illness. He will be remembered with great love and pride in his home town of Derry, throughout Ireland and abroad. Ní bheidh a leithéid arís ann.

🔴⚪ Congratulations to the team, manager and those running the club.
After a tough season they proved their mettle by getting to the final and bringing a trophy home.
What an example captain Michael Duffy is too.
Pure class on the field and always comes across as respectful off it too.
The sort of person you'd want about the club when he retires as an example to new and younger players.

Rest In Peace John
I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Bloody Sunday campaigner John Kelly.
John was a proud Derry man who spent much of his life fighting for truth and justice.
His 17-year-old brother Michael was murdered by the British Army on Bloody Sunday, and for more than five decades John fought for justice, not just for his own family but for all those killed and injured that day.
Despite the continued denial of justice, John never gave up. His courage and determination in taking on the British state in the fight for justice was remarkable.
Through his campaigning and his work at the Museum of Free Derry, John made sure the story of Bloody Sunday was passed on to new generations and that the fight for justice would never be forgotten.
My heartfelt condolences go to John’s children, grandchildren and the wider Kelly family at this very sad time.
Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.
