Most, if not all, white working class families in East and South London will have some Irish blood, but few are fully Irish. The Adams of North London are an exception (Islington has long been a settlement for more recent Irish immigrants), but families in the east and south will commonly have one Irish parent or at least an Irish grandparent.
It's true, a lot of the London-based crime firms are in business with the Real IRA. Even the Canning Town families such as the Hunts, who as far as I know are not of Irish descent, frequently did business with some criminal minded cells in the IRA concerning the drug and weapon trade.


They also worked with loyalist organisations, it was just business for them.

People involved in that life in London don't care about the background of those they do business with.

As London is so ethnically diverse the real cockneys all moved out to Essex and Kent...


There was no real Loyalist representation in London. The IRA dominated London as was told in the classic flick 'The Long Good Friday'.

British intelligence simply didn't put Loyalist paramilitaries in the same category as the IRA. They were just considered a bunch of racist skinheads and bums.

This is your typical Loyalist rolleyes

'As a result, while still in his teens, Adair was threatened with knee-capping by the Ulster Defence Association (UDA) after assaulting an old age pensioner but was given the option of joining the UDA's young wing, the Ulster Young Militants, instead.[4] He joined the Ulster Young Militants, and later the UDA – a legal loyalist paramilitary organisation which used the cover name "Ulster Freedom Fighters" (UFF) when it carried out killings'.[4]

That says it all, one of the leading Loyalists recruited after beating up a frail old man. The IRA would never have recruited scum like that.




The IRA recruited worse than that, likes of Liam Adams who raped his own daughter..

There is a large loyalist community in London, there was also LONDON brigades of the UVF and UDA


Also plenty of Orange lodges around London and southern England

Liam Adams was never IRA I tried but you seem to want to continue this vitriol and abuse be me guest. I know people in those orange lodges they are a laughing stock lol

This is them outside Camden Irish Centre, a refuge for the homeless. Pathetic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECMOIwvqhME

Still going on about the hunger strikers the Loyalists couldn't even last one day yet they still crow about Bobby Sands, a 27 year old man who went 66 days without food before dying. That's the difference between Republicans and Loyalists.
