It will be 10 years to the day on Friday the 19Th and I wish I could say the pain gets easier. Never would Ihave thought that we would still be asking un-answered questions. What exactly have victims to do in order to merit some respect,as it works both ways how come the security forces don’t seem to realise they simply cant lie to people anymore and expect to get away with it. Times undoubtedly are changing and the days of corruption and cover ups are no longer tolerated. I may be optimistic but i feel there will be a lot of arrests this year not only of terrorists and criminals but of corrupt officials who not only covered up murders but in some cases facilitated them.

Politicians will also need to sit up and take notice,I dread to think how many i have spoken to over the years most of which have offered little help and in some cases blatantly done nothing. The old saying is that ” the worst thing for the good to do is to do nothing” that covers the good ,then we have the downright useless and bordering on disgraceful who promised the earth knowing fine well they had no intentions of fulfilling them ,I Would have said honouring but these politicians have no honour. It seems i find myself in a position almost in isolation as I cant get help from unionists because they wont support anyone who speaks out against the police and it has been noticeable the lack of interest from sinn feinever since Hughe  Orde let it slip on the 22/06/09 that a firm with links to republican terrorists is receiving government contracts to work on P.S.N.I. bases. I had a meeting before Christmas with Jim Allister thinking that he would be outraged and that he would address this with vigor, when I arrived at his office he had a journalist and photographer from the Irish News waiting for the story but when I started talking about terrorists and contracts  and stated that not only was it a former republican getting contracts but a loyalist family from Portadown also he seemed to turn off his interest,I am still waiting for a reply!

Basil Mccrea is dealing with this issue at the moment after forgetting to get back to me for nearly a year,and I hope this will be a turning point for Unionist Politicians.

At this moment in time i am awaiting two answers to Freedom Of Information requests, reports from the police Ombudsman on four complaints, a decision from the information commissioner and the upcoming appeal from Revels in April.

Thanks for taking the time to read this stuff and as always stay tuned as I will be putting names ,paramilitary status and believed involvement with these murders and other crimes on site.

Anyone with information ring me on 07787402595. God bless.Paul Mcilwaine.
