Daniel Bradley makes an important, and an eminently well-informed, point.
But his conclusion, that MI5 and MI6 create paramilitary organisations in Northern Ireland in order to use them to teach their own officers how to deal with such things, is probably an overcomplication where the Provisional IRA is concerned.
Like their predecessors and the Muslim Brotherhood, or like the Gulf monarchs and Daesh, they created something in order to counteract something else, but it took on a life of its own and, in the Provos' case, eventually defeated them.
I do not believe for one second the saloon bar claim that it was riddled with British agents until the moment that the British surrendered. What, surrendered to their own agents?

"Has the Prime Minister ever read Frankenstein?", asked George Galloway, who for all his faults is sorely missed in the present Parliament, during the 2013 debate on Syria. "Did he read it to the end?"
If Galloway can be elected to Parliament six times to date and maybe more to come, you must be able to manage it once. You are both sorely missed in the present Parliament, you should both be there, you should have been there since 2005, this should be your third term.
