The Royal Ulster Constabulary and Collusion: Impromptu Episode: Intelligence Streams 29:40

9d ago29:40

29:40

This is an interim, or rather impromptu, episode of sorts. In it I consider my working relationship with an Intelligence Cell within the British Army during the very early years of my career, and how it became affected following the brutal murder of Loughlin Maginn in 1989. As such I hope to complete a more comprehensive and concluding episode look…

Blue Lights and Love Squads 26:27

1M ago26:27

26:27

Another unplanned episode, but one generated from a number of questions I've received from listeners asking if I'd planned to discuss Blue Lights Season 2 in much the same way as I did for Season 1. Also, the anecdotes about illicit love trysts in the PSNI was of great interest (which also featured as part of the Blue Lights episodes). To be honest…

The Royal Ulster Constabulary and Collusion. Part I: Personal Observations 52:35

1M ago52:35

52:35

Given the contentious nature of the subject topic discussed in this episode I've added some caveats which I've outlined at the beginning. I'd just have to reiterate that the episode just reflects my own personal observations plus awareness of incidents, and remain my own interpretations of such. Having said that, I feel this subject will inevitably…

Armagh GAA Bags All-Ireland Win As PSNI On Hot Coals Overs Flags 32:42

2M ago32:42

32:42

Another 'impromptu' episode! This time I'll be (hurriedly, sorry time waits ... ) discussing the political rants following Armagh GAA winning the All-Ireland title on Sunday 28th July 2024. Moreso, because a PSNI Community Policing Officer joined in with his community celebrating in Camlough (I used to just be flown over it and dropped off nearby f…

Our Troubled Past: The Glory and the Grief 54:56

2M ago54:56

54:56

In this episode I attempt to conclude my thoughts on the aspects of Forgiveness and Recrimination in Northern Ireland's post-Troubles' society. In saying that, I'll add the caveat that I'll most likely be revisiting nuances of such topics threaded through future episodes. For the time being I'm looking at how we memorialise the past in terms of 'is…

Squaring The Circle 50:12

3M ago50:12

50:12

Will there be a time when we, in Northern Ireland, see our seemingly parallel divergent histories cross? Our opposing narratives blend with commonality. As a society still raw from sectarian and political conflict many are trying to step away from hate, but there are still those who fear any admission of culpability will render them vulnerable. In …

10:34

I want to draw your attention to the mother of all worst-case scenarios—a climate risk that nobody is discussing. The global hydrological cycle is speeding up, and precipitation is becoming extreme. China is the country most vulnerable to flooding as global temperatures rise. Can aging dams maintain historical levels of flood protection in the face…

Rattlebag: An Interlude 37:51

3M ago37:51

37:51

This episode is, in itself, an interlude before I continue my theme of reconciliation and recrimination. I just needed a breather of sorts and to realign my thoughts, which had been threatening to scatter. Just some (brief) ruminations herein on a few innocuous memories from my time in both the Royal Ulster Constabulary and PSNI. Many thanks to tho…

In this episode I'll be continuing to look at the aspect of Forgiveness and Recrimination which I began in the episode, 'I Bear No Grudge'. Given the amount of material I've gathered to date, I sense that the topic will continue on for several more episodes. In this episode I employ two poems by John Hewitt: 'The Iron Circle' and 'The Bloody Brae' …

An Unintended Interlude 46:36

I'd just recorded Part II of my consideration of Forgiveness and Recrimination in a post-conflict Northern Ireland when my SSD gave up the ghost. On retrospect it may have been a blessing in disguise as I wasn't completely happy with the experimental format of the episode, besides I'd only noticed several dropouts in the recording just as I was com…

What drives their appetite for continuing violence? Is there much difference between dis…
