Hello lads, ladies, and nonbinary buddies - since we're all talking about the atrocities of the British institution, may I direct your attention to the Miami Showband Massacre. There is a documentary on netflix by the same name that gives more detail, but here's the sparknotes:
During what initially appeared to be a routine traffic stop in Ireland in the seventies (in the middle of the Troubles) MI5, with the backing of the British government, orchestrated the murder of several members of The Miami Showband (an Irish band popular in both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland).
They were attempting to frame the musicians as IRA terrorists, by having fake soldiers plant live bombs in their van during the (not legitimate after all) traffic stop. The bombs were meant to go off well after the traffic stop, killing all the musicians, and it would be reported that the band were arms smugglers who'd been accidentally killed by their own cargo -- but the bombs went off too early, killing two of the men planting them, as well as two of the five band members who were there. A third band member survived the initial blast but was hunted down in the nearby field by the remaining soldiers, who shot him over 20 times. The other two band members survived only because the soldiers assumed that the blast had killed them.
The two surviving band members claimed from the very beginning that there was an English Army Officer present at the traffic stop and that he was the one giving the orders. The investigators said the survivors must have been mistaken, and that there was no reason for a british soldier to be there, and the blame for the whole thing was placed solely at the feet of the local Unionist Paramilitary Group (unionist as in "ireland is and should remain the property of England," not unionist as in workplace unions).
Over forty years of independent research by the survivors and allies later, and various truths have been painstakingly revealed. The police, the military, and the British government were all either complicit in the bombing, or directly involved, and have all been blockading investigations since 1975 in various different ways.
The police knew the identity of one of the leaders of the pro-english paramilitary group, and had evidence that he was present at the bombing. Not only was he not charged, but someone within the police force tipped him off so he had believable excuses to waive away the evidence. The officer who questioned him raised concerns that someone had clearly worded him up, and that therefore there must be a mole within the police force; his complaints vanished into the system and were never followed up. And this was a bloke who is suspected of having murdered between 50 to 250 people (almost all Irish). And the police deliberately and repeatedly let him go free. There are indications he was actually an MI5 agent, and thus protected, but those claims are unverified.
The military knew full well that the musicians reports of a British soldier being present at the bombing were accurate, because they were actively and frequently working with the Unionist paramilitary group, supplying them with weapons and using them as attack dogs against the Provisional IRA (Irish Republican Army). They knew exactly who had been involved, but they blocked any attempts at investigation. Two separate members of their own armed forces stepped forward and started asking questions about the bombing and the mounting evidence that the english were involved. The Armed Forces moved quickly to silence both of them. One was framed for murder and jailed, while the other was illegally interned into a psychiatric hospital in an attempt to discredit anything he had to say. These were their own men that they did this to. They did this to British members of the British Armed Forces. For asking questions, and digging deeper than their superiors liked.
The British government was also fully aware. Maggie Thatcher was presented with a 32 page document of all the compiled evidence pointing very sharply to MI5 involvement, but she claimed that she'd never received the document, and then refused to look at new copies of it and blockaded attempts to look into the matter.
The issue is STILL being blocked by the British government and armed forces. They STILL refuse to look into it, and are still blocking access as best they can. Because the know full well that if their involvement in this is proven, that a whole lot of other events will come into question too.
