THE British government “is 90 per cent responsible” for the murder of five men shot dead in a Belfast bookies by loyalist gunmen in 1992, a relative of one of those killed said today.
Billy McManus, whose father was killed in the Sean Graham bookmakers massacre, said that he believes that collusion was a major factor in the shootings, which is why the British government wants an amnesty.
“Collusion is 90 per cent of my father’s murder. A British agent and a handler went into the barracks on the Malone Road and took handguns and rifles which went on to be used in several murders,” he told Sunday Lite.
A new group within the NEU is preparing the labour movement for a conversation on Irish unity by arguing that true liberation must be rooted in working-class solidarity and anti-sectarianism, writes ROBERT POOLE
Why not pay a visit to Feile an Phobail, a people’s festival of community arts with roots in the days of internment without trial, and where the spirit of solidarity remains undimmed, says LYNDA WALKER
