NB: THIS TRANSCRIPT WAS TYPED FROM A TRANSCRIPTION UNIT RECORDING AND NOT COPIED FROM AN ORIGINAL SCRIPT: BECAUSE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF MIS- HEARING AND THE DIFFICULTY, IN SOME CASES OF IDENTIFYING INDIVIDUAL SPEAKERS, THE BBC CANNOT VOUCH FOR ITS ACCURACY. ........................................................................ PANORAMA GANGSTERS AT WAR RECORDED FROM TRANSMISSION: BBC-1 DATE: 22:06:03 ........................................................................ KEVIN MAGEE: This is the story of a gangland feud being fought out on the streets of the United Kingdom today. For the past 9 months we've been following its every move. They're just like the Mafia. They're a bunch of thugs. They're in Armani suits now but they're still a bunch of thugs. Very often in a feud you're going to have winners and losers and losers don’t like being losers, and so they're going to get they're revenge in different ways. They talk about honour among thieves, there isn't that much honour. This is a power play, extremely violent criminal gangs fighting for turf. One winner, one loser. We can say we were Jack gangsters, we're also dealing with murderers here. We're dealing with people who sanctioned murders and who carry out murders. MAGEE: The gangland killings continue and the government appears powerless to stop them. Now the threat of violence is spreading. Gun law in the north of England. A house in a quiet residential area of Bolton is raped by gunfire. The shooting happens in the dead of night. MAN: I was woken up at ten to two in the morning with a rata-tat-tat. We thought it was at the window, somebody knocking at the window. We found out that it was an automatic weapon which had been discharged. Secret Filming MAGEE: Over a period of weeks Panorama has been secretly filming the house that was attacked. These young men were among the targets, fugitives who know their lives are in danger. MAN: You read about stuff like this in the paper, you don’t expect it happening like five yards from your hours, especially when you've got two kids in bed. MAGEE: Within hours of the shooting, the police call an emergency meeting. Bolton councillors are told of the new and dangerous threat in their midst. COUNCILLOR-1: Police refer to the family - and they gave us a fair amount of information - they consistently refer to them as "the family of a known terrorist". COUNCILLOR-2: We do not wish the people of Bolton to be involved in shooting incidents which have originated from quarrels somewhere else. MAGEE: The quarrel, or feud, began several hundred miles away. It's between a group of criminal hard men, gangsters with nicknames to match. Meet 'Hard Bap' extortionist; the 'Egyptian' blackmailer; 'Doris Day' crime boss; 'Grug' attempted murderer and the notorious 'Mad Dog' convicted terrorist. To the world at large, they're organised criminals, prepared to use extreme violence to get their way. But to their supporters they're brigadiers, in charge of an outlawed army called 'They Ulster Defence Association' the UDA. Panorama, 1972 Sergeant Major you take number two patrol tonight. Second Lieutenant you'll take number one. MAGEE: The self-styled army was set up in the 70s to defend protestant communities against the IRA and keep Northern Ireland part of the UK. Before long they were justifying criminality and the killing of hundreds of innocent Catholics in the name of God and Ulster. The Group wasn't banned until 1992. Today, despite the Good Friday Peace Agreement, their killing hasn't stopped. The Loyalist godfathers, as they're increasingly known, are turning their guns on each other. In a bitter internal feud over the spoils of crime, two of the UDA's most violent and feared men go head to head. John Grug Gregg and Johnny Mad Dog Adair. It'll be a fight to the death. NEWS In Euston Street, in the Woodstock Road area a man was shot in the head by a single gunman at around 9 o'clock. He fired a number of shots through the front door. Neighbours say they heard 5 or 6 shots. The murder is being linked to the feud within the UDA. MARK LANGHAMMER Local Councillor, Rathcoole If this was an area of London or Manchester, Newcastle or Glasgow I've absolutely no doubt that there would be a public outcry. I've absolutely no doubt there'd be questions in Parliament. NEWS Over the weekend two bomb incidents took the feud right to the very top of the Loyalist paramilitary organisation Local people claim several car loads of men linked to Johnny Adair attacked two houses and a car. MAGEE: This is Johnny Mad Dog Adair. He operates out of the Shankill area of Belfast, the Loyalist heart of the city and runs his patch with an iron fist. Mad Dog enjoys the limelight. A former glue-sniffer, housebreaker and National Front supporter, he's now a UDA godfather. In Loyalist mythology he's credited with taking the war to the IRA. In fact Adair and his C-Company gang didn't discriminate. Many innocent Catholics were targeted. Det Sgt JOHNSTON BROWN RUC, 1972-2001 C-Company was just like any other company on the Shankill Road. It wasn't… no need to have any distinction, and he'd change it from a beer-swilling, boogie-trotting, ?? guard, to a proactive murder machine. MAGEE: Historically hit men in C-Company didn't always work alone. Helping to oil their murder machine were elements of the British state itself. It's now clear that officers within Police Special Branch and the Army were colluding with Loyalist killers, passing on intelligence about suspected Republicans. As C-Company's killings mounted, Adair rose through the ranks. BROWN: They boasted openly about what they were doing, but worse, you know.. he would say: "I'll decide what's on the 6 o'clock news. I'll decide who lives and dies." So yes, he was potentially a very, very dangerous individual. MAGEE: Evidence collected by Johnson Brown finally helped send Adair to prison for directing terrorism. In jail his status grew, seen here leading a prison riot, even from behind bars Adair assumes control. Like hundreds of other paramilitary prisoners, he was released as part of the Good Friday Agreement. It didn't take him long to return to his old ways. It's hard to imagine scenes of such lawlessness like this one last year anywhere else in the UK. Here is Adair as he likes to be seen, armed and dangerous, waving his pistol on the Shankill Road. CHRIS McGIMPSEY Local Councillor, Shankill He took over control of the estate almost absolutely. They had absolute control of the illegal cigarettes, they had absolute control of the drugs, they were looking to try and get a drinking club, they were getting protection off the businesses and they were getting to the stage where they were advising people who could live where. If you wanted to have a party you had to go to C-Company to say could get permission. MAGEE: Johnny Adair's main rival boasts an equally fearsome reputation. His territory on the northern outskirts of Belfast includes the largely Protestant Rathcoole Estate. John Greg, known to his friends as 'Grug' has two passions: Glasgow Rangers Football Club and his Loyalist flute band. MARK LANGHAMMER Local Councillor, Rathcoole If you talk to John Gregg supporters he would have been quite ?? and he would have been considered something of a hero within that constituency, and he would not be like it there in the sense that he wouldn't have the same flamboyance, and he wouldn't live that sort of lifestyle. His lifestyle would be quite austere. 14th March 1984 MAGEE: Grug Gregg achieved legendary status within the UDA when, in the early 80s, he tried to assassinate the Sinn Fein President Gerry Adams. While inside the Maze Prison he was interviewed by the BBC about the Adams attack. INSIDE THE MAZE BBC 1, 1990 Do you have any regrets about what you did? GREGG: Only that I didn't succeed. MAGEE: During his 9 years in gaol, Gregg had plenty of time to work on his hard man image. But his sectarian bigotry and belief in violence survived intact. GREGG: Everybody was against us. The British government, the Irish government, America, everybody was against it. Ordinary people know that violence wins now. MAGEE: In Rathcoole Gregg rules his fiefdom through terror. Few dare oppose him. One who does is Councillor Mark Langhammer. He's had a bomb put under his car for speaking out in support of the police. LANGHAMMER: The grip of paramilitarism is utterly through fear, people can't really challenge it because the consequences are that you get your window put through, you get kneecapped, you get shot. The community shuts its windows, shuts its curtains and watches the TV. It can't do anything else. MAGEE: And when Grug Gregg and Mad Dog Adair - the two main players in the bloody drama – fall out, there can only be one outcome. Police were back at the murder scene this afternoon to take statements. NEWS CLIPS Politicians say growing fear and concern is stalking the Loyalist community. There has been an attempt to murder a prominent Loyalist. Loyalists are once again at each other's throats and each side is again blaming the other. MAGEE: Prison is almost like a second home to Mad dog Adair. Here he's on his latest release a year ago. Among the welcoming party are the other brigadiers, but their show of solidarity for Adair would be short- lived as he tries to take over the leadership of the organisation. Soon Grug Gregg and the other UDA godfathers will want Mad Dog dead. JIM McDOWELL Sunday World The whole thing erupted over Adair coming out of gaol and Adair thought he was going to become the supreme commander of the Ulster Defence Association, and he was running a big racketeering drugs empire, and he wanted to take the whole thing over. MAGEE: In the turf war that erupts, one of the Godfathers, Jim 'Doris Day' Grey, the East Belfast UDA Brigadier is shot in the face. News Report, 18th September 2002 Jim Gray is a senior figure in the terror group's structure. That's why the attempt on his life has sent shock waves through the organisation. MAGEE: Gray survives and points the finger of suspicion at Adair. The other brigadiers close ranks against him. To them, an attack on one godfather is an attack on them all. But remarkably the feud is fought on two fronts. On the streets and in the propaganda war through the media. THE SPIN DOCTORS MAGEE: The eyes of a double killer – meet John White, Adair's spin-doctor. He's served 14 years for one of the most gruesome murders of the troubles. White is a man of wealth and property, the result he claims of wisely investing the proceeds of handicrafts he made while in gaol. He's always denied profiteering from crime. He used to keep horses and raise potbellied pigs. Now John White is the mouthpiece for Mad Dog Adair, and he never misses a chance to rubbish the rival godfathers. JOHN WHITE They'll sit back, armchair generals, they'll send the wee lad's out. As soon as the wee lads end up in prison they'll be forgot about. He'll be forgot about, and that's the message I want to send to rank and file. Don’t listen to these people. The war's over. Go home to your families. Enjoy your lives. [Applause] MAGEE: Behind the spin of White, Johnny Adair is never far away. In the rival camp, John Grug Gregg and the other UDA godfathers also have their own spin-doctor. Meet Sammy Duddy and his Chihuahua 'Pepsi'. A former UDA Brigadier 'Duddy' was brought out of retirement to run the propaganda campaign against Mad Dog. He never misses a chance to humiliate Adair, or to promote his rivals, like Brigadier André Sucre. SAM DUDDY Johnny was the hero, the god if you like among the ladies, and when André Sucre came on the scene… Johnny was just Mr Average. I think André dressed in the best of taste and, it might sound odd me saying this, a very fine, handsome looking man for a young man. And Adair didn't like that one bit. André dressed in the best of clothes and Johnny tried to model himself on that, but he was fighting a losing battle because he was taking all these drugs, and his body's swollen out here. He reminds me of Marlon Brando, you know.. past it. MAGEE: Duddy is qualified to talk about style and fashion. In the past he entertained British soldiers on tour. He had his own stage persona – meet Samantha. But back in his day job, a spin doctor to Adair's rivals, Duddy was putting himself in the firing line. And it wasn't long before Adair's C-Company came looking for him. DUDDY: Two gunmen appeared from nowhere and fired two rounds through the door and killed one of my dogs. The other, this Pepsi one received 7 stitches, she was hit in the side. The other wee dog died within an hour. My wife got up and shouted out the window at them. MAGEE: What did you shout at them? MRS DUDDY: I shouted at them: "You've killed my Chihuahua you B's. MAGEE: Both sides in the feud between Adair and Greg are upping the anti. The key players themselves are singled out for attack. NEWS In Rathcoole a bomb was discovered under the car of the support UDA Brigadier John Gregg. Earlier, news emerged that a fire bomb had been found at the home of John White. WHITE: They put bounties on our heads from 20,000 up to 40,000 now up to a million, they're offering bounties, you know.. the gangsters do, to kill John White and John Adair. MAGEE: While we're filming with White he is paid a visit by the police. They're passing on intelligence of another death threat. This is recorded delivery Shankill Road style. [Postman delivers letter to White] MAGEE: What's happened here? WHITE: Well this is another warning from the police that Loyalist paramilitaries intend carrying out an attack on myself, you know.. and this about the 9th I've got and over the same number of weeks. MAGEE: It's Christmas on the Lower Shankill and we've been following the feud for three months. Adair's C-Company has its own Christmas tree but goodwill is in short supply. There's an unwelcome gift on its way to Grug Gregg, another pipe bomb. It was never meant to be like this. When the Good Friday Agreement was signed the government was faced with a dilemma. How to keep former paramilitaries within the peace process, and at the same time crack down on their criminal activity. MARK LANGHAMMER Local Councillor, Rathcoole Since the Agreement every Secretary of State from Mowlam and Mandelson through to Reid and I and Murphy have taken, as given, the need to keep on side the UDA in particular. They have treated the UDA as if it were a political enemy when patently it isn't. Yet all the while the UDA is still intent on murder, on intimidation and running its areas on drugs, on gangsterism, and it's patently the case that the UDA is pissing up the Secretary of State's leg. MAGEE: Today the current Secretary of State John Reid agreed to meet a delegation, including some of the top UDA godfathers in a continuing attempt to persuade them to reject violence. 2nd July 2002 Dr JOHN REID Northern Ireland Secretary, Jan 2001-Oct 2002 Well I've got a simple message for everybody and that is if they want to build a new Northern Ireland and they want to do that politically and constructively, I will work with people who want to do that. If you're wedded to the old ways and you're stuck to the path of violence, I will oppose you by every means at my disposal. Thanks very much indeed. That's the message I'll give in their today. MAGEE: But only days after the Reid meeting, the Armani suits are back in the wardrobe. The godfather's response, an illegal gathering to honour paramilitaries. Mad Dog Adair himself was called forward to receive a trophy for his services to terrorism. THE ENFORCERS MAGEE: In response to the growing problem of gangsterism the government has turned abroad for inspiration. The man they have enlisted knows a thing or two about godfathers. A decade ago he was a key figure in putting the New York Mafia bosses behind bars. Professor RONALD GOLDSTOCK Government Adviser Northern Ireland Office What occurs in Northern Ireland tends to remind you a little bit of the way the mob was in the United States maybe 30 years ago… 30-40 years ago. The crimes tend to be more predatory. It's a serious problem in particular because Northern Ireland is a relatively small place, everybody knows everybody else within the communities. Problems of extortion and other types of criminality have a serious impact on the economic structure, and so it's something that needs to be dealt with. MAGEE: Northern Ireland's new Police Chief, Hugh Orde, is another outsider but one who knows all about the Loyalist godfathers. Orde worked on the Stevens inquiry looking into collusion between elements of the security forces and Loyalist killers. He's under no illusion about the feud. HUGH ORDE Chief Constable Police Service of Northern Ireland It was a war for territory, it was a war around power, it was a war around drugs. You're talking about an organised criminal gang that's in the business of making money. MAGEE: And outside of that criminality, what do you see as the raison d'être for this organisation? ORDE: Well that’s a very good question, I am not sure they've got one. MAGEE: Back on the streets the godfather’s rationale is clear enough. The feud has to be won. Joining a gathering to admire a display of burning cars Adair and friends are plotting their next move. 21 year old Jonathan Stuart has been overheard badmouthing Adair at an all night party. NEWS The lone hooded gunman forced his way in through the front door. Neighbours say they heard 5 or 6 shots. MAGEE: Stuart is shot in the head by one of Adair’s men and dies instantly. Det Supt ROY SUITTERS Police Services of Northern Ireland It was obviously an execution. A primary motive has to be looked at and that would be the feud. MAGEE: Retaliation is swift. Roy Greene, seen here with Adair, is gunned down on a South Belfast street. But Adair remains the prime target and his own home is attacked with a pipe bomb. He and his family escape unhurt. Two days later with the body count rising we track him down to his stronghold to challenge him about his role in the bloodletting. We arrive at a building known locally as the big brother house. It's supposed to be a community centre but Adair has commandeered it as is headquarters. Here Johnny Adair is among those he counts as his loyal friends. He issues an invitation to the five brigadiers from whom he has been trying to wrestle control. ADAIR: I challenge them five criminals man to man to come and face me and John White and leave the rest of the good rank and file UDA out of this whole situation. These so called leaders... I wouldn’t even call them brigadiers because that is giving them a medal. They are just criminals. They have just ruined a good organisation. MAGEE: Is it finished now, the UDA? ADAIR: Well if them leaders stay in charge it'll be finished in a matter of months to a year. MAGEE: How do you think it will end, the feud? Have we seen an end to the killing? ADAIR: I believe it will only end when these so called UDA criminal leaders stand down and pave the way for new leadership, a new fresh leadership. MAGEE: But when a question is put that Adair doesn’t want to answer the atmosphere becomes altogether more menacing. MAGEE: Well we’ve spoken to your opponents and what they have said is that... and a large element of this feud is that you were trying to muscle in their turf. ADAIR: [shakes head negatively and withdraws] MAGEE: He brings the interview to an abrupt end. For Adair time is running out. Just hours after we met him the authorities swoop. 10th January 2003 NEWS We start with some breaking news, the Loyalist leader Johnny Adair has been arrested. Adair has been at the centre of the recent feud with the UDA. MAGEE: Adair is held in an isolation wing. His own personal safety is guaranteed, but he is still able to direct events from behind bars. John Grug Gregg remains Adair’s number one enemy. The gangsters are still at war. Grug makes the trip over to Glasgow to watch his beloved Rangers play. That evening he gets the ferry back to Belfast with hundreds of other football fans. At the ferry terminal a taxi is waiting to take him home... minutes later it drives into an ambush. In a frenzied hail of gunfire, Gregg is hit by a single bullet to the head. Another member of Gregg’s gang is also killed, his son is injured, Adair’s C-Company has struck at the heart of the enemy camp. CHRIS McGIMPSEY Local Councillor, Shankill You don’t go in and shoot dead a UDA brigadier and then say “Look guys, can we forget about this old feuding, do our line in the sand. You don’t do a line, you have to... after that. That is just too significant an act of war. MARK LANGHAMMER Local Councillor, Rathcoole There was no doubt that everybody felt a sense of shock, everybody felt a sense of “What next?”. There was a palpable fear in the community that this wasn’t the last of it, this wasn’t going to end here. MAGEE: And it doesn’t end there. Even before Gregg is buried, revenge is exacted. Hundreds of Gregg’s supporters converge on Adair’s home, Adair’s family and supporters are forced to flee on the overnight ferry to Scotland. By morning, Adair’s stronghold is deserted. It is a humiliating defeat. The following day John Grug Gregg is buried with full UDA military honours dressed in his bandsman’s uniform. This is a public show of unity. The godfathers of the UDA who had lined up with Gregg are among those who take it in turn to carry his coffin. But it is also a public show of defiance. The UDA is an illegal organisation. Membership carries with it a 10 year jail sentence. The community know who the brigadiers are, the police know where they are yet they remain at large. People have been convicted in the past of belonging to a paramilitary organisation why is it so difficult when it comes to the UDA brigadiers? HUGH ORDE Chief Constable Police Service of Northern Ireland It is not difficult... watch this space. We are doing a lot of things. We are targeting a lot of people and we have a lot of ideas about gaining intelligence in interesting ways. MAGEE: What is at issue here is the people are walking around in these organisations, it is a crime to belong to them and they are not being arrested. That’s the bottom line. ORDE: Currently yes, people are not being arrested for that particular offence. MAGEE: With Adair in jail and Gregg dead the UDA attempts to repair its tattered image. It promises an end to violence for 12 months. It calls the plan the John Gregg initiative after its dead hero whose name was synonymous with violence. Its political associates, the Ulster Political Research Group or UPRG will now speak on its behalf. 22nd February 2003 UPRG: It is the intention not to have a public face any more and therefore the entire organisation will become faceless once again. MAGEE: It is a tactic used by mobsters the world over to protect their criminal empires. Professor RONALD GOLDSTOCK Government Adviser Northern Ireland Office Vanity exists and it is probably the worst future that the head of a mob family can have. If you look traditionally at the way they have operated, those who have stayed in the shadows, those who have exercised their power free from the media, from law enforcement, are the ones that have been most successful. THE IMPOSTER MAGEE: But can we take the UPRG and its promise of an end to loyalist violence, at face value. One of the movers behind the organisation is this man. Meet Dennis Cunningham. He represents the UPRG in west Belfast. Publicly, he says, he is a man of peace and wants reconciliation. DENIS CUNNINGHAM Ulster Political Research Group We’re asking to follow the example that West Belfast is setting at the moment and to take their lead from us and to go down a political road... go down a road of dialogue that will build a better future for everyone in Northern Ireland. MAGEE: But who is the masked man speaking on behalf of the UDA’s militant wing last year? MASKED MAN: Tuesday 15th January 2002. The Ulster Freedom Fighters. We give you 14 days to stand down. MAGEE: Could this be the same man, Dennis Cunningham who emerged during the feud as a man of peace? We were tipped off that the masked man is Dennis Cunningham. MASKED MAN: If you fail to comply with this order we will have no option but to take the appropriate action. There will be no more warnings. Tuesday 15th January... MAGEE: We enlisted the help of one of Britain's leading voice experts. After a detailed analysis we got the result. It is highly probable that the voice of the hooded man matches that of Dennis Cunningham. Three times Mr Cunningham cancelled interviews with us so we telephoned him and put the allegation to him. MAGEE: [on telephone] We've been led to believe that in January of last year you read out a statement wearing a balaclava flanked by gunmen. Was that you? CUNNINGHAM: I did? MAGEE: Yes. CUNNINGHAM: No I’m afraid not Kevin, I am afraid not. MAGEE: But we have had a detailed analysis carried out on the voice of the hooded man which suggests that it is you. D.C.: Well I'm surprised even to hear you say that quite honestly. I'm very surprised to hear you say something like that. I just find your allegation to be untrue, totally unfounded and to be honest a bit absurd. I find it quite appalling to be honest with you that you would even come out with that sort of statement Kevin. So I will speak to some time soon, thanks Kevin, bye bye. MAGEE: After his denial Panorama carried out another series of checks and we are convinced that the man in the mask is Dennis Cunningham. As Cunningham is a prominent member of the group promising an end to UDA violence is it little wonder it hasn’t delivered? Within weeks of their peace pledge the gangsters resort to intimidation once again. This time their target is the press. They threaten to kill the Belfast Editor of the Sunday World after calling for a boycott of his newspaper. JIM McDOWELL Sunday World I am told by the police who visit my home, visit my office, that you and your family this time, not just you, you and your family are going to be driven out of this country and there is intimidation, widespread intimidation of newsagents, they are told to put up posters in their window, “Don’t buy the Sunday World, it sets up Loyalists for assassination”. If it was the Birmingham Morning Post, if it was the Manchester Evening News, if it was the Glasgow Herald, if it was the London Evening Standard Kevin, there would be uproar in Parliament. MAGEE: So far in the feud there have been numerous attempted murders and dozens of gun and bomb attacks. Five people have been killed yet no one has been charged with murder. ORDE: My officers work bloody hard within the law to solve those crimes. MAGEE: Their officers may be working hard but they are not catching killers. HUGH ORDE Chief Constable Police Service of Northern Ireland Well there are two ways of catching a killer, one is for the specific crime and one is for targeting them for other offences and disrupting their activity through... taking them out for other major crimes. MAGEE: But if you can’t get the evidence the UDA can kill with impunity. ORDE: No they can’t. MAGEE: That's what it's doing. ORDE: Well I would disagree with that. I think that’s a very simplistic... if you've got this sort of idea that the UDA are whizzing around totally out of control... under... totally out of our control, then you're wrong. THE FUGITIVES MAGEE: But the feud is far from over. When Adair’s family and supporters, more than 20 in all, were expelled from Belfast they seek refuge in Scotland before travelling south. Panorama follows them. They move into two houses in Bolton. When furniture arrives it appears the 'Bolton Wonderers' - as they're called - are planning to stay. Among the exiles are members of Mad Dog Adair’s own family. Meet Gina Adair, Johnny calls her the “mad bitch”. Here she is shopping at a local supermarket in Bolton on a rare excursion from the house. Meet her son, wee Johnny Adair, known as 'Daft Dog' seen here busy on his mobile outside the Job Centre in Bolton. Also exiled and on the run in England is this man, 21 year old Allan McCullock. He is military commander of Adair's gang during the feud. But so desperate is McCullock to return home to Belfast that he secretly brokers a deal with the rival brigadiers. It's been suggested that it was he who masterminded the gun attack on the house in Bolton on the other exiles to earn his own passage home. But when he does return to Belfast, McCullock himself is double-crossed. After several weeks he disappears. Another killing. For days police divers searched for his body. Eventually it's uncovered in a shallow grave on the outskirts of Belfast. Despite the assurances, he'd been lured home to be murdered by the UDA. Outrage at McCullock's killing has spilled onto the streets of the Shankill. There is little sign that this feud is over. WOMAN: Well the new management has destroyed this community, not help clean it up, they've destroyed it. We want the old management back, not the new one. MAGEE: Among the protestors is the mother of one of the exiles. WOMAN: Well my son said he wouldn't come back. I'm saying that, he got a death threat last week, and over in England where he is, they said they were coming over to get him, so… and he got a death threat at the other house as well as he's got the death threat here. MAGEE: Two senior UDA men, Mo Courtney and Ahab Shukree were charged last week with the murder of Alan McCullock and with membership of the UDA's militant wing. McCullock's murder sends a clear message to the others in hiding in England – come back at your peril. The Adair fugitives include John White, Adair's spin-doctor, now claiming to have found God. Last known hiding place – Salford. (Wian Dowey?) arrested and later released over the murder of UDA godfather John Gregg, seen here in Bolton. Herby Millar, one of Mad Dog's closest allies, also seen in Bolton. Here he's in a balaclava threatening t shoot people. Adair's son, Daft Dog, on his mobile phone in Bolton. This photograph of him was taken for a UDA calendar. He's the pinup for March this year. And Gina Mad Bitch Adair, no ordinary housewife. This is her with an AK47. Some of Adair's gang are believed to be on the move again. The criminal feud continues on the streets of the UK in 2003. Next week, fiddling the figures. Panorama investigates the impact of government targets on patients in the NHS and reveals the length to which some hospitals are going to give the government good news.
