Politicians’ failure to investigate killings was spineless

After watching the documentary, Collusion, on BBC on Monday night, and after reading Ann Cadwalladar’s book, I am struggling to understand how innocent people could have been murdered with the support of the British establishment. Why was nothing done in the South?

It is such a blow against democracy. If it were not for the doorman, Martin ‘Doco’ Doherty’s intervention, the Widow Scallan’s pub, which was packed with 250 people, would have been blown up in 1974. The silence of politicians of the time was horrifying
