B Specials Wouldn’t Have Been ‘Chased Away!’
I take my headline today from that above The Times report on the shameful scenes in Ulster this week, when ‘police withdrew from a stand-off with republican youths over a bonfire in Belfast.’ https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/psni-chased-away-from-anti-internment-bonfire-jr5x3k5x8
The phrase ‘chased away’ is the very opposite of fake news, for those in command of the Police Service of Northern Ireland personnel…

…in the notorious republican rats-nest called the New Lodge estate, did indeed order their men ( and women, presumably) to depart ‘at speed in a hail of missiles.’
I’m not blaming the individual cops there.
I AM blaming those who ordered them out, instead of telling them to use their guns to clean up the scum attacking them.

A brief look back, to the days when I was hitching around British Ulster as a much younger fellow.
A friendly old farmer stopped and took me through a lovely stretch of Country Antrim. He, like most Ulsterfolk, was more than ready to talk about the ‘Troubles’ and what a mistake it had been to get rid of the Royal Ulster Constabulary’s B Specials.
”They knew where the IRA lived and where they worked, they could get right in there after them. They kept them in check.”
Hence Sinn Fein/IRA hated the B Specials.
And the powers that be, or were, in those days, buckled.
The B Specials were abolished.
.
.
Appeasement merely whets the appetite of evil, and in due course the RUC itself was wound up, on the recommendation of that wet Tory Chris Patton’s ‘report,’ an act of abject cowardice, motivated not so much by anything the RUC was doing, but by the force’s name…
Ulster Top Cop – Lying, or Grovelling to Sinn Fein?
…a name which collaborating curs have continued to seek to erase.
.
.
That ‘Royal’ had to go, and the name ‘Ulster’ with it, along with the Union Flags which proudly flew from each and every RUC police station.

God bless you, Ross.
The B Specials were ‘the rock on which the IRA broke’ when the republicans got up to their shenanigans in times past.
Those are not my words but of a great man much admired by the British people of Ulster.
We could do with the B Specials today.
