Ken Livingstone (pictured) escaped a two assassination attempts by Ulster Loyalists it has emerged. He was a target because of his alleged Republican sympathies

Ulster Freedom Fighters (UFF) allegedly hired a hitman to shoot Mr Livingston at a Bloody Sunday protest in London in January 1993.

Gangs of loyalists and far-right activists, including neo-Nazis, had reportedly planned to attack the demo as it left Hyde Park.

The hitman was going to shoot the former GLC boss and then planned to escape in the crowd.

Loyalist Michael Stone admitted he planned to shoot Mr Livingstone and carry surveillance on the former London mayor 

The plan emerged in former London Ulster Defence Association commander Frank Portinari's  new autobiography, Left-Right-Loyalist.

He wrote: 'Livingstone's provocative support for Irish republican terrorists and their apologists made him public enemy number one. 

'A UFF unit decided to assassinate Livingstone on the day of the march.

'A volunteer on a motorbike would be parked nearby to transport the gunman to a safe house.' 

Luckily Troops Out protesters refused to leave the park and continue marching until the counter demonstrators were dispersed.

This saved Mr Livingstone's life. 

Portinari added: 'Our people were stopped, searched and served with a notice to disperse or expect to be arrested.'

Some 400 people were arrested at the march causing the hitman to abandoned the plan and return to Northern Ireland.

NWN: Any truth in this ? We remember the arrests in London at the time and seem to recall a few getting some compensation for arrests. 

We know nothing about Portinari except the name and possible links to the BNP in the very early 1990's or late 1980's. About 400 nationalists where arrested then and later released without charge.

The Police broke the law here, let's be frank about this.

They should have allowed our counter demonstrations against the IRA in our capital city. But they, the Police, were having none of that !

This is part of the long game of breaking up the UK. Northern Ireland/Ulster has the extra problem of the 'government' supporting the IRA . Covertly in the past, but openly nowadays and in recent times, with their allowing Sinn Fein/IRA to get to where they are at the moment. 

The major problems still occuring over in NI at the moment, are being played down by the controlled media. The  'troubles' have not ceased. 

"They have not gone away you know " .

The Army Bomb disposal have had an emergency call out at least once a day in the last 12 months at least.

Army 'top brass' said they should receive the NI GSM medal for their dangerous work, but the 'government' won't allow it !  

Traitors....
