I never knew the water plant was hit so the next raid, a fire storm, could burn the city and its people to the ground. Makes it harder to feel sorry when the tables were turned.
A shinning light is gone. A truly humble gentleman who fought to survive. He lived for his wife and 3 children. The world has lost one of life's good people. RIP dear Jonnie. You will never be forgotten. ❤🙏💐
Once one grasps the indignities and violations these people have endured and understand the narrative, the stage set, long ago, it appears that we the british, have a lot to answer for. Couldnt hear Adams speak on television when i was a kid. He was a monster in my opinion. I didnt get it. This is where making ones own inquiries is useful. I wouldn't trust the british media if they had the arch angel gabriel on their shoulder. Iain w glasgow
How 5he fu k does that priest now that did he follow the parade the whole time I bet not just another fucking higot against protestants parading in our own protestant country FACT
If I'm not mistaken, this film was produced by a Republican media advocacy group, and was never intended to be unbiased. That doesn't mean this film is a pack of lies, but it does mean it was intended to represent a particular POV.
@Fionnghalaigh007 There are always exceptional People in all societies, but I still stick to my statement overall. Colonialism was such an Ugly Crime, far worse than any War. They replace you and your whole Culture. The Natives become the Terrorists?? Disgusting and unforgivable behaviour.
No better man and great knowledge of Belfast. Thanks Joe .. Have a few of your Rushlight produced books about old belfast.. In the name of Carsonia etc
Its also funny how this film glosses over the disgusting behaviour and violence that the republicans carried out on a daily basis, including on their own communities....... this is unbelievably biased, hypocritical and to be honest, its an effing joke. They door swings both ways here.....both sides did things that are truly awful to each other.
It makes me laugh that the republicans really expected, and still do expect, the British Government to walk away and give up part of our Country just because they demand it......... it's NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN, Ulster will always be British, end of. I've always had the opinion that, if they want to be a republican and be Irish......... they can always cross the border, it's easy to for them to do......
What a load of hypocritical bollox this is........ it states that "the ira are great and the number of civilians they killed was relatively low." I don't think that 1,000 or so civilians that thev killed would agree with this bullshit narrator........ or the tens of thousands of people who were seriously injured.
The Troubles is British Colonialism on a caucasian society. Colonialism is evil, imperialism is evil and capitalism is evil. The British “upper class” is the birthplace of all as such Britain is the purveyor of much of the evil in the world. I’m sure the propagandist’s and sheeple of Britain will disagree, but they can fk themselves. Ireland, will be free not because of the IRA, but because the greed of Britain will bring about its ruin. That day is very near.
How did interment only happen to one side of the community they were tortured and beaten by a so called army what kind of army is this to treat people SSRUC they occupied six counties was a war fact but Britain can’t say It’s at war in its own colony because of there war crimes 🇮🇪32
The British have a cheek to go on about Putin and Russia war crimes what about the British war crimes they carried out through out Ireland especially the north
Hindsight is 20 20. Civil rights would have definitely put the nationalists in power. As long as there is division the brits stay in power. Brilliant.... You must ask yourself how in the name of God did paisley and Adam's not get assassinated. Hindsight says they both worked for the same side.....
As a Child (Army Brat) of a soldier who did 22 years service & 2 tours of NI 1970 My Brother was born there! We (the civi) part were actively taught to hate the Irish ( Or Boggies) as they were then called! The indoctrination of children to hate what their Parents hate just perpetuates what Rich Pricks want you to think divide & rule, I am now a lot older, I do not hate the Irish/Welsh/Scots & love their contribution to Britain as a whole, But alas I am English, raised in BAOR & must say the British Governent are a vindictive bunch of self entitled "female genitals" Sorry Women, that the whole of the Uk needs to fight back as the Irish did, It is not about religion (plays a part) it is about the poor fighting back, the yanks did it then fuked it up, We need to do better! I'm Sorry My dad Rip was part of this!
By the 80s it was an utter shithole and a death trap to troops going in there. I remember a washing machine being suspended ready to drop on any unsuspecting patrol, it was filled with excrement..!
