IF YOU KNOW THEIR HISTORY………

The sweep up at Kilsyth starts, something to hide?

The website of St Patricks Roman Catholic church has been online unmolested for years……

http://www.saintpatrickskilsyth.org.uk/index.html

until now that is.

Any mention of Jimmy Saviles involvement with said church and Fr Denis O’Connell, the fountain in the courtyard built in memory of the ‘charity work’ he did has now been whitewashed from the site.

Also, any mention of Father Tom Mullen -the man accused by two men who are from two different areas of Great Britain, different generations, who don’t know each other, of sexual abuse (see story below)- has vanished too.

Luckily  I had screen grabbed said web pages in case of such an event.

The next website I expect to get this history revision is the Scottish Catholic Observer

Were Cardinal Keith O’Brien, Britain’s most senior Catholic clergyman, spoke of his friendship with Jimmy Savile from his time as an assistant priest in St Patrick’s Parish, Kilsyth, along with the parish priest, the then Fr Denis O’Connell.

Cardinal Keith O’Brien, Britain’s most senior Catholic clergyman, spoke of his friendship with the entertainer while Tom Allen, financial trustee of Across, the charity that takes seriously ill or disabled pilgrims to Lourdes by Jumbulance, said he had been a patron of the charity and was a great loss.

“My friendship with Jimmy Savile developed over many years since I was assistant priest in St Patrick’s Parish, Kilsyth, along with the parish priest, the then Fr Denis O’Connell,” Cardinal O’Brien said. ” We were always trying to fundraise, not only for the parish, but for a variety of local and national charities and Father Denis had got to know Jimmy quite simply because of Jimmy’s mother, ‘The Duchess.’  It was Jimmy’s fond mother who attributed the healing of Jimmy when an infant to her prayers to the Venerable Margaret Sinclair, a young Scottish nun.”

The cardinal also spoke of the entertainer’s work with Across.

Mr Allen from the charity said: “We were saddened to hear of the death of Jimmy Savile who had a long connection with the Across Trust and Across. Jimmy launched the first Jumbulance to the press in June 1973. At the launch he introduced the Across Trust to the Green Shield Trading Stamp Company that donated 60p to charities for every complete book of stamps. Many thousands of pounds were to be raised for the trust in this way.”

Mr Allen said Mr Savile had been delighted to become a patron of the charity and contributed to its success greatly.

“He provided his image on promotional posters and his voice in films and videos, until his retirement at the 25th London Jumboball in 1998,” he said. “Throughout that time, he allowed the trust to use his name and his influence to obtain the support of the media, the public, and through his long-running show Jim’ll Fix It, the schools and schoolchildren. In 1981 he featured an Alligator Jumbulance on the show.”

In 2001, when the Across Trust ceased to operate, Across Scotland used its status as a separate Scottish charity to launch an appeal for funds to enable the Jumbulance service to be continued to which Mr Savile was a generous donor. In a few months the appeal raised enough to buy two of the Across Trust Jumbulances and the pilgrimages to Lourdes were able to continue. The first went out at Easter 2002.

Across Scotland changed its name to Across in 2007 and Mr Allen recalled that Mr Savile was very much part of the relaunch.

“We took delivery of a new Jumbulance,” he recalled. “Jimmy was prominent at its launch in April 2007 when it was dedicated to the memory of the late Pope John Paul II by Cardinal Keith O’Brien at St Mary’s Cathedral in Edinburgh. He joined the ceremony in his own inimitable way, making a speech at the cathedral Mass, extolling the work of Across.”

I will wonder if it will remain.

SOMETHING TO HIDE?

Celtics Corporate Social Charter Being Open to All

“As a Club open to all since its formation in 1888, Celtic at all times aims to promote inclusion, diversity and opportunity for all.” Peter Lawwell

This Blog Post will be the first of many on this subject.

Above is a Picture of Eire Nua republican flute band posing outside of Celtic Park.

It is not the 1st time Celtic park has been host to bands that take pride in the glorification of Sectarian Racist terrorism.

The Wolfe Tones were invited into Celtic Park to film a music video which promoted such terrorism in the 1980’s at the height of the PIRA bombing campaign of mainland Great Britain.

But there is something  even more sinister and worrying about Eire Nua republican flute band polluting my country of Scotland with their Terrorist promoting filth that alarms me.

The band hail from PIRA sectarian heartland of west Belfast and take their name from Éire Nua, or “New Ireland”, was a political strategy of the Provisional IRA and Sinn Fein during the 1970s and early 1980s. It was particularly associated with the Dublin-based leadership group centred around Ruairí Ó Brádaigh and Dáithí Ó Conaill, who were the authors of the policy.

Ruairí Ó Brádaigh  father, Matt Brady, was an IRA Volunteer and was severely wounded  in 1919. His mother, May Caffrey, was a  Cumann na mBan an Irish women’s paramilitary organisation volunteer.

He joined the IRA. In September 1951 becoming a Training Officer for the IRA. In 1954, appointed to the Military Council of the IRA, a subcommittee set up in 1950 to plan a military campaign against RUC barracks.

On 13 August 1955, Ó Brádaigh led a ten-member IRA group in an arms raid on Hazebrouck Barracks. It was the biggest IRA arms raid in Britain.

The IRA Border Campaign, commenced on 12 December 1956. As an IRA General Headquarters Staff  officer, Ó Brádaigh was responsible for training the Teeling Column in the West of Ireland. During the Campaign, he served as second in command of the Teeling Column. On 30 December 1956, he partook in the Teeling Column attack on RUC barracks in Derrylin, County Fermanagh. RUC Constable John Scally was killed in the attack. Scally was the first fatality of the new IRA campaign.

Ó Brádaigh became the IRA Chief of Staff, a position he held until May 1959.

Ó Brádaigh was President of Republican Sinn Féin from 1987–2009.

Republican Sinn Féin’s relationship with the Continuity IRA is similar to the relationship between Sinn Féin and the Provisional IRA when Ó Brádaigh was Sinn Féin’s President.

The other founder of Eire Nua was Dáithí Ó Conaill  a member of the IRA Army Council, vice-president of Sinn Féin and Republican Sinn Féin. He was also the first chief of staff of the Continuity IRA.

he was second-in-command of the Pearse Column which carried out the raid on Brookeborough (RUC) Barracks in County Fermanagh, in which facist anti semite Seán South was killed.

Here is Dáithí Ó Conail next to Martin McGuinness on 13 June 1972, he appeared at an IRA press conference in Derry.

At the 1986 Sinn Féin Ard Fheis, he opposed the decision to drop abstentionism to Leinster House. He joined in the walk out led by Ó Brádaigh and was chairman of Republican Sinn Féin from 1986 to 1987 and subsequently a vice-president of the party.

If that isnt food for thought for you and you don’t believe me that you should be alarmed and conscious about this band using football as a conduit to promote their hate then dont take my word look at how they alarm the Police authorities.

This picture was taken as the bands bus was being stopped and searched under the firearms act of 1968.

Why are the Police authorities so on their guard with this band?

wouldn’t be anything to do with this picture?

Or the bands heavy involvement in an event In Memory of terrorist Pearse Jordan, Belfast Brigade P.I.R.A

Or this recent Eire Nua republican flute band march

One thing is for sure if one thing rivals this bands blood lust for the sectarian killing of innocent men, woman and children it is Celtic Football Club PLC as proven here with the 2nd prize in the raffle.

More post to come on Celtic Football Club PLC an inclusive organisation open to all.
