Ultimate Farce

They were out on a plain clothes murder mission and got plugged by their own side (who say there was never a shoot to kill policy)

As for when Ive ever been abroad my views have actually gone down quite well, most countries absolutely despising the Brits.

I shudder to think what impression you make abroad. Most countries actually get quite upset when another one invades them and murders its citizens.

Yes Barry and Andy, that would be totally hilarious wouldn't it. Someone getting murdered in a phone box. What's your problem? You're a complete embarassment to yourself with sad views like that and I shudder to think the impression you make on other nations when you travel abroad

They should make an episode about the time the RUC mistook an SAS unit for the provos in the 70s. The final one they riddled after a huge case was in a phonebox trying to ring the barracks and call them off. That would be truly priceless, and quite amusing too.

I think you are all being unfair to the media and those gallant boys in Hereford. These tv series are hysterical, does anyone remember BRAVO 2 ZERO, where those brave boys successfully got lost and then shot by the stupid Iraqis, priceless.

think bodie and doyle running about in their under pants, then think grant mitchell running about in his underpants posing with big guns, helicopters and explosions. Updated 'who dares wins/who bores wins'

militant anarcho heads?
has anyone noticed how the "enemies of civilisation" are getting poorer?
I mean back when I was a wee buachail
the enemies were poor working class folk of the north and everywhere else but the big one was
SOVIET UNION SUPERPOWER.
then somewhere about 1995 when I got my beloved Irish passport with the name the anagram, some Jordanian secret service types started passing papers speculating that a certain Sheik Yussof Haj Bin Laden of Yemen with only $300,000,000 personal wealth was going to be "enemy of civilsation" now they make TV about anarchoheads being the enemy?
silly isn´t it?
and yeh I´m a spam head.
and mabe even a "gouger" but there you go.
TV is toxic.
and cars are too.
RECLAIM THE STREETS!

under your feet.

I can't wait. I'm waiting for the seies staring Billy brag as a karate expert marxist fighter who must fight his way past the evil CWI, SWP USFI workers power fighters to create the true revolutionary party. Maybe a love interest with Venessa Redgrave and Gerry Healy as the side kick

It's just crap TV Justin. Do you have nothing better to girn about. ITV have Ross Kemp on a 'golden handcuffs' deal worth oodles of cash, so they've got to do something with an 'actor' who can only manage 'pissed off' or 'tough-guy' expressions and can't handle any phrase longer than 'Let's do it'.
Of course, a series about our favourite paramilitaries in the North (TM) would be much better, wouldn't it? The boys could be portrayed in the bosom of loving families, sitting up all night tending their sick dogs, reciting Thomas Davis, and writing poetry, before ridding our oppressed state of some hapless builder or something who was so ideologically mistaken as to earn a living fixing the drains in an army base. After a few years of this, they could retire to run our schools, maybe.
Hey ITV - where's the cash?

Yes, apparently the way they covered up the death figures is by naming the regiment the soldier was previously in, implying that this was the one he was in when he was stiffed by the thick bog-trotting paddies. But no-one joins the SAS direct, they apply from their previous regiment.
This cover-up method is handy, as is the old 'car crash in Cyprus' ploy.

When will we ever read the truth about the sas involvement in the north?

Officially only a handful of sas assassins died in the north. but it has now been revealed that 30 sas men killed in Ireland have been buried in their Regimental cemetery in Sterling Lines, Hereford (8 died from self inflicted wounds). This does not include those given family burials elsewhere. Two including the celebrated Captain Robert Nairac have never been found. (Anyone who ate pork products sourced in north Louth in late 1977 should be feeling queasy at this stage.)

All this came to light when the sas were applying for planning permission for a new cemetery to be located at Credenhill, outside Hereford town. The old cemetery is now full. Hopefully the new one will soon be bursting at the seams!
