Far from reformed

The recent Special Branch buck passing fiasco is proof that the PSNI is far from reformed.

As relatives of those murdered by UVF serial killers under the thumb of Special branch have found out,, Special branch are still in no mood for admitting culpability in murder.

Hugh Orde has said it wouldn't happen on his watch, but under his watch, Johnny Adair's 'C' company were allowed free reign to murder unchallenged.

It is the buisness order of the day, to implement superficial change, or simply change, a companies name when that company goes bankrupt or is involved in dodgy dealings, and that seems to be the case with regard to the PSNI, formely the RUC, and Special branch now MI5.

Far from curtailling the activities of spooks in northern ireland, MI5 have now set up HQ here.

Sinn fein are urging us to support the PSNI, and allow them to sit on policing boards to try and curb the activities of the PSNI. The SDLP are already doing this to no avail, as they are continually vetoed by the majority of unionists, what is the point of sitting on a board, where you can object all you want, but you will always be outnumbered, therefore your opinions count for nothing.

The PSNI have not disarmed, they are still armed even though other paramilitary groups have disarmed.
