Today (19/1/12) Martin Shivers has been convicted of killing two British soldiers in a gun attack on the Massereene army barracks in Northern Ireland (NI) in March 2009. His co-accused Colin Duffy was acquitted of the crime despite his DNA being found on the tip of latex glove found inside the getaway car that was caught on CCTV during the shooting. This is now the fifth time that Mr Duffy has been acquitted of a terrorism related murder and terrorism cases in NI are heard in front of single Judge rather then a Jury so it's pretty obvious the Brits are looking out for him.
The only question is; are they looking out for him because he's their man inside the dissident Republican movement or because they're trying to protect their men inside the dissident Republican movement by sending everyone on a wild goose chase. It's worth noting that Mr Duffy is something beardy weirdy so if you catch him in a certain light he looks a bit like Gerry Adams the Sinn Fein leader and one time Presidential candidate in the Republic of Ireland. If you're still in any doubt how cr*p the current crop of dissident Republicans are well Martin Shivers was convicted because his DNA was found on a match which he'd used in an attempt to set fire to the Vauxhall Cavalier car after the murders but he even managed to f*ck that up.
In other news because I know the neighbours have been worried for the last three days I've been watching the first season of US TV show "Brotherhood" on DVD. I've only got as far as the fourth episode but already I know it's only going to lead to bad things not least because my brother is in Norway from 19/1/12 until 23/1/12 but I've been drinking and I mean it's not like we even get Sunday lunch anymore.
