There is a new addition to the rapidly growing canon of books about ecstasy, one that is rather better written than many of the short stories in the recent anthology Disco Biscuits and rather grimmer than Irvine Welsh's latest. So This Is Ecstasy? comes from the (ghosted) pen of Bernard O'Mahoney, last seen "on the witness stand at the trial of the teenager accused of buying the tablet that killed Leah Betts. Who is going to be an informer on anything - look at the international terrorism connection in the UK now - if it's clear that five years down the line, 10 years down the line, 15 years down the line an inquiry can demand all that information from me and I can't protect him?" Sir Hugh said he could not withhold documents under the inquiries act but he was discussing with lawyers the use of public interest immunity certificates preventing the disclosure of evidence leading to identities being revealed. But the conspiracy was brought to light because police were bugging the offices of a private investigation agency, said Bruce Houlder QC, prosecuting. For Courtney to say that each time he sees his once ' good friend' he will give him a right-hander is unbelievable. Right-handers are often given for a mere insult.

Ferris, whose story was supposedly told this year in movie flop The Wee Man, stood trial in 1992 for the murder of “Fat Boy” Thompson in a case that held Scotland transfixed. TWO of the most important "supergrasses" to give evidence of police corruption were jailed yesterday by a judge who severely criticised supervision in the elite detective unit about which they made allegations. When Thompson's son, Arthur Jnr was shot dead in 1991, after Ferris parted company with the crime boss, he was arrested and charged with murder. He began his crime career in earnest as an armed robber with the notorious Barlanark Team in Glasgow in the 1970s.

He met John Henry when the Newcastle hardman was being transferred from Durham's HMP Frankland to HMP Full Sutton in Yorkshire. It is the principle of all respected villains that 'grasses' should be ostracised from mixing with decent people. They are dangerous and treacherous traitors, and no one is safe from a Judas. With young Arthur banged up in jail Ferris had ideas of his own so he jumped ship, betraying Thompson Senior who had shown him so much respect, and he went on to join forces with Thomas 'The Licensee' McGraw, an aspiring street player and influential drug dealer from the Barlarnark Team. Over time they devised a plan that would ultimately cripple the Thompson empire but not before Ferris himself completed his prison sentence at HMP Shottts for the possession of the shotgun he supplied to PC Mitchell. But would any real villain REALLY go to the extent of putting there name down on the informants register just to access information?
