In the book, he describes how his mother came to visit him in prison, and asked him about a Catholic man who had been killed by the Ulster Defence Association (UDA).

I grew up in a society were it was always somebody else's fault with nobody taking responsibility for their own actions.

As he explains in the introduction: “I want to take responsibility for my actions, actions I took because of the circumstances I and other young men found ourselves in during the violent early 1970s in Northern Ireland.

After violent clashes between members of both groups on the Shankill Road the UVF shot and killed two men close to the UDA's West Belfast leadership, Jackie Coulter and Bobby Mahood. John Gregg, Brigadier of the UDA South East Antrim Brigade and, like Wright, a man with close links to far right groups in England, was also a strong critic of Hutchinson and accused him of thinking "like a republican". After his release in 1990, he was involved with Gusty Spence and others, in the peace process which led to the announcement, in October 1994, by the Combined Loyalist Military Command (CLMC) , of a ceasefire. With a rich experience spanning over 12 years since his accreditation in 2011, Billy has skilfully officiated over 1000 Humanist Weddings, Funerals, and Baby Naming ceremonies, earning him a stellar reputation throughout the country.With hindsight, he would realise that similar emotions, not least the palpable sense of fear, was also being felt in Catholic communities. If I go out to my car and it isn’t working, I take it to the mechanic to get him to analyse it and then he puts his computer on it and he works it out. I have read multiple detailed papers, articles and public contributions by those who say the deal cannot possibly achieve what it will purport to have achieved, but- as yet- I see nothing which commits any opposing view to writing, and opens it to scrutiny. The roots of Hutchinson's involvement lay three years earlier in the immediate aftermath of the killing of Loyalist Volunteer Force (LVF) leader Billy Wright by the Irish National Liberation Army (INLA). Billy is renowned in the ceremony industry for his proficiency, delivering ceremonies with a unique blend of solemnity and warmth, making each event memorable and heartfelt.

The political system seems to be failing at the minute and my view is that the political system is the most important thing we have. In 1974, at the age of just 19, he was sentenced to life in prison, and it was in the cages of Long Kesh that he first came under the influence of loyalist icon Gusty Spence. He left school at fifteen with no qualifications and was imprisoned in Long Kesh (the Compounds at Maze and Long Kesh Prison) between 1974-1990. He played an important part, while in prison in the 1980’s and later on, in encouraging the Loyalist paramilitaries towards political accommodation, instead of violence.To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. When you go to the Assembly you don’t make decisions as an MLA, what you do is scrutinise, and what do you change? He was elected to the Northern Ireland Legislative Assembly as MLA for North Belfast in 1998 where he served until 2003.
