The Conservatives in the Government backed these the nutty Paramilitaries.

Only one tiny thing wrong with that - It was a Liberal Government in power from 5 April 1908 – 25th May 1915 and then a Coalition Wartime Government under Asquith's leadership from 25th May 1915 until 5th December 1916. So in the time frame you are attempting to squeeze all this into there were no Conservatives in the Government.
