Subject: RE: BS: The Fighting Irish
By the way Keith, I personally probably saved a good chunk of Ireland's economy back in the late 1980s. I convinced John MacMichael, then supposed commander of the UDA, not to send a two man motor cycle team down to Newgrange to machine gun American tourists on a bus. He had the idea that they'd stop the bus, line them up, machine gun them and paint "See Ireland and Die" on the side of the bus above the bodies. It would destroy the Irish tourist economy. I told him that if he thought he hated the Crown security forces, he'd really love the FBI and CIA if he pissed us off. That would guarantee millions into the PIRA treasury from the USA. He looked at me and said "Well, perhaps right you are then". About 6 weeks later MacMichael was blown to bits delivering a Christmas turkey by the Provos (who had some help from dissadent UDA men). Some however, put it about that it was the CIA. For God and Ulster Keith, For God and Ulster remember that.
