London - (Cold War Ass Mess): UK anti-terror cops are having another brilliant week following the resignation of a former top Provisional IRA slapper who has masquaraded as a Tory councillor and Croydon Council's education chief for the last six years.
Maria McGuire Gatland, 69, was said to be astonished at being outed as a former terrorist by a Save our Schools campaigner at a council public meeting this week.
She has claimed that she officially quit terrorism after a spate of Belfast bombings in the 1970s.
Her memoir 'To Fake Arms: My Year with the Provos' branded the Provisional IRA as a flag of convenience which merely fronted the explosive activities of Russian, Cuban and Italian disorganised crime cartels.
Tory London Mayor Boris Johnson is totally gobsmacked.
