Frank Portinari supplied weapons to the Ulster Defence Association and Ulster Freedom Fighters at the height of the loyalist gangs' killing campaign in Northern Ireland. But how did a north London lad with seemingly no links to paramilitarism become not only a gunrunner, but the boss of the UDA's Britain base during the deadliest days of The Troubles?

The reformed terrorist, who once hid some of the UDA's weapons in a school, speaks frankly to Patricia Devlin about his past and his hopes for changing attitudes for the future. Interview originally recorded for YouTube. Check out No Edit with Patricia Devlin's channel.
