In 1982, Vincent Browne's Magill mag published a 2 issue expose of WP criminality and infiltration of Irish institutions. This included facts about their terrorism, murder armed robbery, brothel keeping etc. A few short years later Browne was urging Irish people to vote for WP.

Could this apparent about face on his part have been related to plans by the WP to have him murdered in a "boating accident" as revenge for the expose? That's not a rhetorical question btw - I genuinely don't know the answer. In a way it's almost worse if this wasn't the reason.

What got me thinking about this was an article in the Burkean about Browne recently chairing a meeting of yet another new Irish anti-racist group, Le Chéile. He's also played a leading role in the pro-abortion movement for many years. By any standards he is morally bankrupt.
