Yes, it is scandalous that MI5, of which I have never seen the point, tried to get the UVF to assassinate Charles Haughey. But it is telling that they went and told him. Cut up the Irish any way you like, but they have an affinity with each other that the rest of us will never begin to understand.
The present British Government is sustained in office by a party with the closest possible ties to at least one Loyalist paramilitary organisation that has never disbanded or disarmed in any way. One of that party's MPs comes from a prominent Loyalist paramilitary family and was elected, for a somewhat improbable seat, thanks to the co-ordinated efforts of those organisations.
