Unionist Voice has compiled a short list of legal professionals murdered by the IRA. None of these victims have ever had a public inquiry. Judge William Staunton- shot dead as he dropped his daughters off to St Dominic’s in 1972. He lay in a coma and died in 1973. Judge Rory Conaghan- shot dead in […]
By Jamie Bryson @JamieBrysonCPNI This weekend marks 30 years since the killing of republican solicitor Pat Finucane by the Ulster Freedom Fighters (UFF) in Belfast, who said in a statement at the time that they had not killed Pat Finucane the solicitor but “Pat Finucane, the IRA officer”.

This morning’s BBC Nolan Show, via an investigation by David Thompson, once again provided a glimpse into the increasingly erratic and legally questionable behaviour of the Northern Ireland Public Services Ombudsman, who also doubles up as the Local Government Commissioner for Standards, Marie Anderson. In her latest escapade it was revealed that she had threatened […]

By Jamie Bryson @JamieBrysonCPNI The pro-EU political establishment are launching an insurgency against the democratic will of the British people.

Cliftonville player Ryan Catney took to a pro-dissident republican Facebook page to endorse the murderous actions of the INLA. The page, named ‘South Down Republicans’, posted a ‘tribute’ on 27 December 2018 to the ‘volunteers’ of a so-called INLA ‘active service unit’ who were responsible for the murder of loyalist prisoner Billy Wright in the […]
By Jamie Bryson On Sunday night I quite deliberately tweeted an image of a green, white and orange plastic bag being used by JD Sports. It is not simply colours as part of a wider design- like a Tesco bag- rather it looks identical to an Irish flag with 3 equally divided dominant colours. Making no comment […]
Cliftonville Football Club’s newest signing Joe Gorman was at the centre of a 2014 Police probe after he suggested on social media that members of the Orange Order should be shot.
