PS. The entire shipment was to TESCO
The "green channel" where the UK is trusted, lasted one day
I will word this carefully cos, well, twitter.
The Ulster Volunteer Force was murdering innocent people long before the Provisional IRA was formed.
The IRA was since disbanded.
The UVF was made illegal but sits at the top table due to the NI "parliament" being unable to enforce law and the UK government unwilling and the PSNI wondering who is the boss and who are eachother.
We see today that paramilitary groups" are a cover.
UVF/UDA/New/real,brandnew IRA with a hefty MI5 involvement got a cop shot.
Who benefits ?
Nigel Farage had his six month visa to usa revoked.
Nigel Farage had his "business visa" to Ireland denied.

"It was a spring morning that they came.
They came with soldiers and a paper that said we must leave our farm.

Far left to far right.
NONE had any interest in what it was about.
Not one !
On the subject of Russia/Ukraine.
I see a great comparison with Britain/Ireland.
Firstly Russia planted people to then use them to clamour to be Russian.
As did/does Britain
When Ireland had a "vote" to be part of the UK, it was restricted to Landowners only.
It was restricted to Anglicans and Catholics who owned land (many of which were English landowners).It was a vote for 16% of the population .
It was a British reaction to the 1798 rebellion.
Ireland was the British Crimea.
As an aside, Britain also came to involve in a Crimean war
