“The following year he had successfully identified that the ISU was infiltrated by enemy agents posing as IRA personnel, and voiced his concern to a leadership figure, but was told he was 'paranoid' and ignored” #VincentRobinson #BrendanHughes #IRA #ISU #Stakeknife
“As a result of an IRA leadership investigation in 2003, IRA Volunteer Anthony Braniff was cleared of any suggestion he had been a paid informer or had compromised IRA war material. His good name was finally restored” #AnthonyBraniff #IRA #Stakeknife #Agents

On a day when it's particularly topical, if you want to learn more I can highly recommend this BBC Sounds podcast. Superbly researched and presented in a way that's not biased.

The Operation Kenova report has been released today on #stakeknife. Would really recommend this podcast series if you want to know more about MI5 and Stakeknife and how the families of their victims suffered (first series is great too) www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...
Between that and the fact that every dog on the street knows that #Stakeknife was Freddie Scappaticci then we are in a place that is beyond farce - the 'Neither Confirm Nor Deny' policy has lost its legitimacy and the securocrats are beyond public accountability.
"The top health concerns of terrorists might surprise you"
- the report the UK government and #MI5 are releasing instead of being open 'about other things'

#MI5 tried to cover up truth over ' #Stakeknife ' spy in IRA, report says - BBC News
#BBC interviewed #stakeknife years ago. Interviewer asked him how do you live undercover. #Scappaticci answer was chilling. He explained he wasn't undercover. He was a terrorist who told handler what he did, being an agent wouldn't stop him being a terrorist & doing what he had to do.

I've just finished listening to (sadly) the final episode of @younghorgan.bsky.social @bbcsounds.bsky.social podcast #Cover on #freddyscappaticci #stakeknife You could do worse then to give it a listen but be prepared for some incredible interviews and audio footage www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand...
I’ve been listening to this podcast lately - it’s about #Stakeknife, a British informant in the IRA. It is fascinating, and hard hitting, listening.

Bloody hell #Stakeknife is such an incredible piece of journalism #NorthernIreland #TheDirtyWar www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/serie...
Good podcast notwithstanding Horgan's insistence on pronouncing Kearney as Car-knee despite the Kearney fella pronouncing it in the correct northern fashion throughout.
I'm not petty at all

Listening to the “Stakeknife” podcast on @bbcsounds.bsky.social. It is very well done - dealing with a very difficult and controversial topic.
Ep 2 was a hard listen that brings to the fore the human suffering behind the headlines #Stakeknife
Just started listening to the new BBC Sounds podcast Stakeknife.A gripping deep dive into the shadowy world of undercover agent Freddie Scappaticci within the IRA during The Troubles. Incredible storytelling about a figure shrouded in controversy and secrecy.Highly recommend! #Stakeknife #BBCSounds
Episode 3 #Stakeknife out on BBC Sounds now. Do I have to occasionally pause it and google something/someone mentioned… yes, but my own ignorance of events aside it is genuinely compelling!
