A burning issue for all socialists and republicans

 No informer or police agent should be killed simply because he has given information to police UNLESS he has received money from the police for getting someone killed,no more than any policeman should be killed simply for being on the police force.

....

Similarly,all contact and spoken communication with British soldiers should be avoided unless you are giving evidence in a drunk driving case because,as often as not,they are driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Do not give these people as much as a glance or a wayward nod since it only encourages them to perform acts of wanton depredation and violence.

Why are policemen and undercover detectives the target of such ire and hatred wherever the pigs go?

It is because they have so much power in any environment. They are instantly recognisable anywhere because they are bald and they are bald by reason of having worn a policeman's cap for many years. Often they have been forced to become involved in surveillance and detective work by virtue of their surreptitious activities on the internet or unprofessional conduct. Sometimes they are in the last-chance saloon with their superiors and are facing suspension or being put off the police.

"Noone,Joe, would mix with people as unstable and argumentative as Provos and socialists.

"It is those people in tiny radical groups who you regard as your friends who are publishing you to police and that category of offender includes that DUP woman who you are talking to about me who claims to be from Ballymena but is actually from Lisburn. She has the wit to go a judge about you because I would have her killed if she had you arrested. You're not the type for keeping a secret and I and your other friend who wanted to protect you by sending you for arms training regret doing so.

"I am only a hurler on the ditch these days. You are the one who makes the decisions these days in Belfast and your own bailiwick  but you're going to get something in your legs not your feet if you spill the beans on me and other joyriders like yourself and Mick Mc Manus because,as sure as day and night, you'll spill the beans on all of us and our games to some journalist or bigwig in the police or tell it to someone who is unreliable like that soldier in your family.

"I will give you a clue. You are highly thought of in MI 5. Let that be your starter for ten."
