Thread Name: The Story of Drumcree
Subject: RE: The Story of Drumcree
History, Wolfgang, as you may well know, is largely the realm of the victor, and the difference between A story, and The story can depend on which tabloid newspaper you care to read.

You will notice that I quoted from British Government ministers, members of the Orange Order, Magistrates of the British Crown, recognised authorities such as Freeman's Journal, etc.

What or whom would you have me quote?

I mentioned Billy Wright (King Rat) only in the context that he was the original 'Johnny Adair' and had met David Trimble, who then conveyed a death threat to the Secretary of State; and I correctly stated that he was dead.

Look, I'm bushed after all the goings on, and the collecting of my thoughts for all of the above.

I'll get back into this when I'm in better form.
