• TOP GUN

  STEVIE 'TOP GUN ' MCKEAG
  
  Every year during the last decade of the Troubles the Ulster Defence Association - Northern Ireland's largest Protestant paramilitary group - held their own ghoulish version of the Oscars.
  
  And the star turn at every annual ceremony for the assassins of the UDA in the 1990s for the 'best' assassin of the year was a 30-year-old loyalist from Belfast's Shankill Road nicknamed 'Top Gun'.
  
  Stephen McKeag almost always received the trophy for being the 'top operator' among the UDA's assassination squads in the Greater Belfast. The 30-year-old UDA man according to RUC officers killed at least 12 people, most of them ordinary Catholics, during a 10-year campaign that terrorised the nationalist community in the city.
  
  STEVIE McKeag, like others from 'C' company, graduated from the street violence of the skinhead cult to the junior UDA, the Ulster Young Militants. They came into their own at the end of 1989 when a major investigation into collusion between loyalist paramilitaries and the security forces led by the Metropolitan police commissioner Sir John Stevens led to several arrests of key UDA figures.
  
  A number of those charged with terrorist offences such as Tommy 'Tucker' Lyttle were regarded by younger loyalists as soft touches who had allowed the UDA's armed campaign to be wound down. Lyttle, it later emerged, was an informer for the RUC Special Branch.
  
  With the old guard in the UDA out of the way, the younger, more militant members seized control of the organisation's ruling body, the Inner Council.
  
  Once in power, these young, visceral sectarians embarked on a murder campaign directed at times against republican activists but more often simply against ordinary members of the nationalist community. By 1991 and 1992 loyalists, principally the UDA, were outkilling the IRA for the first time.
  
  STEVIE McKeag became one of the UDA's most important assassins in the period between 1990 and the loyalist ceasefire four years later. Of the dozen or so Catholics he murdered, the RUC can pinpoint two specific incidents. In 1993 the UDA shot dead a young shop assistant in a chemist on the Springfield Road in West Belfast. Their intended target had been the sister of a prominent Sinn Fein official .
  
  Eyewitnesses who saw the murder gang drive off towards Lanark Way, a main arterial route linking Catholic and Protestant west Belfast, reported that the killers shouted inexplicably: 'Follow the yellow brick road.' One of the gunmen was Stephen McKeag.
  A year later UDA gunmen entered a hairdresser's shop on the Donegall Road, just off the Falls, and shot dead Sean Hughes. The RUC believe the gunman was McKeag even though the case against him collapsed in court due to the judge's doubts over witness identification.
  
  Yet even after the UDA along with the UVF called their ceasefire on October 1994 - just three months after the IRA's historic cessation - McKeag continued to kill. The green light to reactivate the UDA killer gangs came about following the murder of Billy 'King Rat' Wright inside the Maze prison two days after Christmas 1997.
  
  Wright had been expelled from the UVF the previous year and formed the anti-ceasefire Loyalist Volunteer Force. His plan had been to build a new alliance with those UDA battalions such as 'C' company on the Shankill which were sceptical about the ceasefire and the peace process. Wright won the admiration and trust of a number of young loyalists including McKeag.
  
  By this time McKeag was now the 'commanding officer' of 'C' company because Johnny Adair was in prison, facing 15 years for directing acts of terrorism. Just over a week after the Irish National Liberation Army shot Wright dead in the Maze, McKeag and his colleagues decided to break the ceasefire. They attacked a number of Catholic pubs including the Clifton Tavern in north Belfast, nicknamed fatally by local nationalists as 'the suicide inn'. During that attack in January 1998 McKeag shot dead Ed

• lest we forget

  
  
  
  Silence is not Green, White and Golden
  
  In December 1915, when I was seventeen and a half, I ran away from home to join the 4th Battalion East Surreys. I was under age so I had to lie to the recruitment sergeant. I said I was eighteen years old and my name was Sydney Harrison. I told the truth later though, because if I’d been killed as Harrison, nobody would ever have known what happened to me.
  
  Arras was the first time I went over the top. We played football together as we went over. That was the tradition in the East Surreys. I remember the ball dropping at my feet and I passed it to Captain Maxwell. ‘That was a good pass you made young Withers!’ he shouted before he thumped it towards the German lines.
  
  I got wounded at the end of that battle. I was temporarily blinded in one eye but it could have been worse. At the end of the battle, I lay bleeding in a trench. There was blood coming out of my eye, pouring out all over my face. My head looked blown in. They thought I was dead and they were going to bury me. I was in a half-conscious state and I can remember a soldier getting hold of me and saying “Here – this blokes alive!’ That man saved my life, by calling that out. I’d have been buried alive in Arras, if it hadn’t been for him.
  
  Above, the words of Cecil Withers from the book “Last Post – The Final Word From Our First World War Soldiers”. Cecil recounts his time on the Western Front as a teenager fighting for our country.
  
  
  Last weekend 65 senior football matches were played in Great Britain. Prior to kick-off at 64 of them, fans of opposing clubs put aside their rivalries and stood silent in tribute to those brave men and women who gave their lives in service of our country. In the 65th senior game the mould was broken. Celtic Football Club spat in the face of common decency by instead hosting a minute’s applause in recognition of those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
  
  Think about it. Applause. For 20 million lives destroyed.
  
  Those of a Celtic persuasion couldn’t even bring themselves to admit who they were honouring. The Celtic Park Master of Ceremonies told the 55,000 crowd the minute’s applause was to remember “the Celtic players who died in both World Wars”. He further stated that the clapping of hands to show respect for the dead is “the Celtic way”. It most certainly is.
  
  Of course the increasingly incompetent Lex Gold of the SPL must shoulder part of the blame for the shame that this has heaped upon Scottish football. The option of a minute’s applause as an alternative to the traditional silence should never have entered his distorted mind. In the name of decency it simply shouldn’t have been an option. Let’s not mince words here. This option was devised to save Celtic Football Club acute embarrassment.
  
  In decrying Gold, let’s not lose sight of who the real culprits are in this blackest of days for Scottish football. Celtic Football Club. Their directors and Chief Executive could and should have insisted they follow protocol. Their Chairman is a former Secretary for Defence for God’s sake. They could and should have shown they cared and turned their backs on the hate-filled cretins amongst their support who intended disrupting proceedings. They could and should have requested police eject anyone breaking the silence from their stadium or arrest them for breach of the peace. But damage limitation, not decency and decorum, was order of the day and foremost in the minds of John Reid, Peter Lawwell and Co.
  
  “Keep the name of Celtic clean at all costs” the mantra once again. Thus they opted to shame themselves and their football club in the most contemptible way imaginable.
  
  Predictably the Celtic-minded apologists were at their pre and post-match best, deflecting and rewriting as only they can. On Saturday morning the Daily Record told us the minutes applause was introduced in Scotland after Hearts fans disrupted a silence for

• why dont you go home the famine is over

  Dirty Blighters, Why don't they go home.
  
  I often wonder where they would have been
  If we hadn't have taken them in
  Fed them and washed them
  Thousands in Glasgow alone
  From Ireland they came
  Brought us nothing but trouble and shame
  Well the famine is over
  Why don't they go home?
  
  Now Athenry Mike was a thief
  And Large John he was fully briefed
  And that wee traitor from Castlemilk
  Turned his back on his own
  They've all their Papists in Rome
  They have U2 and Bono
  Well the famine is over
  Why don't they go home?
  
  INSTRUMENTAL
  
  Now they raped and fondled their kids
  That's what those perverts from the darkside did
  And they swept it under the carpet
  and Large John he hid
  Their evils seeds have been sown
  Cause they're not of our own
  Well the famine is over
  Why don't you go home?
  
  Now Timmy don't take it from me
  Cause if you know your history
  You've persecuted thousands of people
  In Ireland alone
  You turned on the lights
  Fuelled U boats by night
  That's how you repay us
  It's time to go home.
