Female officer removed from nuclear submarine HMS Vigilant after ‘having sex’

Sub-Lieutenant Rebecca Edwards

A female officer has been accused of having sex on a nuclear submarine. Sub-Lieutenant Rebecca Edwards, in her 20s, is alleged to have had an ‘inappropriate relationship’ with a crew member on board the HMS Vigilant when it was stationed in the North Atlantic. 

Commander Stuart Armstrong, 41, who is divorced, was relieved of his duty last month after some of his crew revolted over the alleged incident.

The submarine had been headed to the United States to retrieve new Trident nuclear warheads when the initial reports emerged.

A source told the Sun: ‘An investigation is ongoing but this is not good for either of them.

‘Something seriously wrong happened on HMS Vigilant and we are trying to the the bottom of it.’

The submarine’s second-in-charge, Lt Cdr Michael Seal, is also alleged to have had sexual relations with another unnamed female officer.

All the crew involved have been taken off the submarine while the alleged incidents are being investigated.

There is currently a ban on senior officers having relationships with subordinates and there is also a ‘no touching’ policy on UK submarines. 

Women were only permitted to serve on the vessels in 2011 when a ban was lifted.

A spokesman for MoD said: ‘We can confirm the Royal Navy is undertaking an investigation.

‘While this is ongoing, it would be inappropriate to discuss further.’

Profile of a Hooded Man.

Michael “Mickey” Montgomery R.I.P

Michael Montgomery was 37 when he was arrested on 9 August 1971.

When the Battle of the Bogside erupted in August 1969, Mickey was there in defence of his area.
Mickey was a member of the Civil Rights Movement. Married with five children, he was in bed when troops burst into his bedroom just after 4 am that morning. 
Wearing only his underpants, Mickey was pulled out of his bed, thrown down the stairs by soldiers, he asked for his shirt and trousers but was refused.
He was then taken to Ebrington Barracks. When he asked a Special Branch man he knew why he was being arrested.
Mickey was told it was at the direction of the military. Several hours later, he was transported to Magilligan Camp.  
Here he was questioned by two members of the Special Branch, who asked about his “movements;” Mickey only gave them his name and address despite being told “If you don’t talk, we have ways and means of making you talk.” 
Eventually, Mickey was given an ill-fitting trousers, shoes and a jacket, and was placed in a hut by himself. 
He was joined later by others, including Pat Shivers and Paddy Joe McClean. 
They were brought to a canteen and given tea and beans around 2:00 p.m., then made to wash the floors before returning to their huts. 
While others were taken out periodically and put into helicopters, these men remained behind. They were fed again around 6:00 p.m., before being returned to the hut for the night. 
The lights remained on in the huts, which was surrounded by soldiers, police and Alsatian dogs. 
Around midnight the guards began running their batons along the sides of the hut to keep the men awake. 
A Scottish soldier was heard shouting: “You will get no sleep tonight you bastards.” As daybreak broke, the men were taken to the canteen, where they were given beans, sausage and bread before being hooded, handcuffed and brought to a waiting helicopter which they believed would take them to England. 
Mickey thought he was going to be pushed out mid-flight through the open doors. After landing, he was carried into a room, where he was examined by a doctor. Once the examination was complete, he was given a loose pair of overalls and placed against a wall, spread-eagle. 
No one was allowed to speak, and when Mickey removed his arms from the wall, he was beaten around the head. 
He was kept at the wall for hours. Mickey was eventually brought to another room, where he reported hearing a “terrible high-pitched noise like high pressure steam being released.” 

Again, he was put against the wall, spread-eagled, and left there until he passed out. He was finally removed from the wall and taken to an interrogation room, where his hood was removed and a bright light shined into his eyes. 
He was questioned by four or five men, all with North of Ireland accents, seeking information about weapons and IRA members. 
This routine went on for days, during which Mickey was given no food or drink, and was not permitted to use the toilet. 
He was severely beaten about the head, arms and back, kicked in the testicles, told that he was in the Channel Islands. 
His hood was pulled up and he was made to drink something. This was a cocktail of drugs. Shortly after this, he heard marching bands, and was convinced he could see his wife and children. He tried to maintain his sanity by talking to himself but he couldn‘t, he was aware they had drugged him. 
Before being taken to Crumlin Road prison, Mickey was given the opportunity to wash up, and was helped to shave, after which he was re-hooded and flown back to Belfast, where he and the others tried to get word out to their families that they were still alive.
Once he was moved to Long Kesh, Mickey’s mental state worsened. He couldn’t sleep and other prisoners from Derry could not believe it was the same man they once knew.
 

 

Kevin Hannaway was a close friend of Mickey in the cages and he said they had psychology destroyed Mickey, Kevin is convinced it was due to the drugs they gave him and the physical torture also. 
He was released in 1973, and he stood for election and won his seat and served for 4 years on Derry City Council. 
But he never recovered from being tortured.
Author John Conroy, in his book Unspeakable Acts, Ordinary People, wrote about a conversation he had with Mickey Montgomery’s wife, Doris,
“When Mickey came out of Long Kesh, it was terrible. I couldn’t turn on the Hoover the noise was too much for him. If you were turning a page in the newspaper, it also affected him. Even the sound of electric kettle boiling, opening or closing a door affected him. 
It was small things like if you dropped a spoon on the floor. 
He never slept. He twisted and turned every night, he cried out, screamed many nights. I was scared of him, he was no longer the man I knew who was taken from me in August 1971.” 
On the 1st December 1984, Michael Montgomery, suffered a heart attack, it was fatal. Mickey Montgomery was 49 years of age. 
Rest in Peace

BRITISH ABUSE IRISH CHILDREN 1971 – 2017.

A Story by a Young Gerard Meehan of his experience going to school….

In 1974, as a 14 year old, on my way to school, I was stopped and checked by the British army, I answered my name which was radioed back to headquarters, code red I heard on the reply, they asked for a pig, it showed, I was made to lie on the floor of the Saracen while five soldiers pinned me with their feet and driven all over the place.  I’m not sure where I ended up, but I was placed in a sandbagged enclosure, in view of two soldiers teaching torture techniques and made to watch Then the interrogation began, it seemed like four days, more likely four hours.  I remained steadfast during this ordeal saying “I don’t know” all along. They then put me in a Land Rover and drove me to the New Lodge, my thoughts were, I’m heading for the Shankill.  My friend Neil McCrory, a month earlier, gave a passing patrol the two fingers and threw a stone at them and a snatch squad got him.  He ended up wrapped in barbed wire and kicked to death.  

My father told me when my mother was murdered; I had to be the man of the house.  I applied that lesson and remained calm so as not to please my captors. Maybe an hour passed after stopping in Silver City, I believe that’s what they called it.  I was transferred to Woodbourne in an unmarked gti by the RUC, who further employed good cop bad cop, draining me mentally, but never my spirit. They would have had to beat me to death and I was mentally prepared to die.  I think they knew this and placed me in a paddy wagon; no bathroom, no water, so tight I couldn’t sit, left there all day and night and released in the morning. 

No charges, no explanation, no words were spoken; only a chosen few I shared my story with. I dodged school for three months after that.

ORANGE BANDS/ORDER HISTORIC LINK TO GLASGOW KLAN OF THE KKK!!!

SO WHAT’S ALL THE FUSS ABOUT WITH THE TUV, DUP AND ORANGE ORDER???

It is believed that this photo was posted on the flute bands Facebook page. It was taken down only to reappear online.

LOYALIST band give prize to very young teenager in KU KLUX KLAN (KKK) uniform. The Lanarkshire Loyalist Flute Band celebrated “Hallowen/Culture party on Saturday – at premises belonging to the local council.

The photograph above from the event shows an unidentified man in white robes and a pointed hood complete with the KKK’s symbol on the chest.

A picture from the Flute Band's Facebook page clearly shows that the photo of the man in the KKK robes (A Master) was taken at the same event.

He is being presented with a plaque from a woman, also unidentified, under the caption’ ” Craigneuk Imperial Ladies Flute Band”, from North Lanarkshire.

A third photo shows the same stage, poppies banner and flag in the background.

Orange bands’ historic link to Glasgow Klan

A HIGH profile Scottish loyalist who took part in Twelfth marches in Belfast in the 1930s, went on to start a branch of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) in Glasgow. Billy Fullerton led a notorious gang, the Brighton Boys, whose signature tune was The Billy Boys an infamous sectarian song which was associated with the

He's a little mixed-up

Orange Order and Rangers Football Club. The song which includes the line: “we’re up to our knees in Fenian blood”, was banned from football grounds by the Scottish government in 2011.

Born in Brighton area of Glasgow, Fullerton formed the Brighton Billy Boys, an anti-Catholic gang from Bridgeton Cross, in 1924. At its height, the gang had 800 members.

Christian Flautists Ouside St. Patrick's.

According to reports, Fullerton led the Brighton Purple and Crown Flute Band which marched during the Twelfth in Belfast in the 1930s.

When the Billy Boys went into decline in the late 1930s, Billy Fullerton joined Oswald Mosley’s British Union of Fascists and went on to start a Glasgow branch of the Ku Klux Klan.

The Orange Order claims it shows members wearing white Ku Klux Klan clothing in a "deliberate demonisation" of its cultural heritage.

“I suppose the Orange Order and the Loyal Order’s with their history going back to 1690 forgot to mention that little bit of history with the KKK”!

‘BIZARRE THAT TARGETS SHOULD RISE PREDICTABLY TO BAIT’

Irish News cartoonist Ian Knox, a long-standing friend of artist Joe McWilliams who died last month, gives his views on the controversy.

Brighton Purple and Crown Flute Band 1930s.

What a shame Joe couldn’t hang around long enough to enjoy the effect his great Christian Flutists had on his chosen target.
I can only look on with envy. It’s bizarre too that the Orange and TUV targets should rise in such a predictably brain-dead manner to the bait. A little checking by those protectors of public space, who love to live in the past (1690), would have shown the Orange marching bands have clearly documented links to the setting up of the first British section of the Ku Kux Klan back in Glasgow in the late 1930s or early 1940s.

A member of the mordern day loyalist UVF showing his true colours - his forefathers would be very proud of him.

The culprit was notorious black shirt strike-breaker and drummer in the Brighton Purple and Crown Orange marching Band. Billy Fullerton. Fullerton, rather than William of Orange, was a frequent Twelfth visitor to Belfast and the “Billy” of the notorious Brighton Boys who terrorised Catholics, Jews, Trade Unionists and any foreign nationals unfortunate to end up in the sectarian cauldron of 1930s Glasgow.

“I honestly don’t see the difference between 1930s Orange Order and that of 2015 they are still bigots who hate a Catholic about the place”
Kevin.
