In this clip from 1977, Irish political activist Bernadette Devlin talks about standing up to the British and fighting for peace in Northern Ireland. While serving as a MP in the British parliament, Devlin famously slapped Home Secretary Reginald Maudling over his comments about 'Bloody Sunday'. On that day in 1972, 26 civil rights protesters and bystanders were shot by the British Army. For more classic clips, go to www.cbc.ca/arch...

Actually an attempt to do was unsuccessful as you can read on her Wikipedia Page where it says the following "...At the 2008 Cannes Film Festival a biographical film of Devlin was announced,[6] but she stated that "the whole concept is abhorrent to me" and the film was not made...." She was and is just a wonderful person...Long May You Run Bernadette...!!!

Do people "desire" en mass to have enemies just because? No. It was an outcome of the policies dreamt up by the British establishment in wanting to control this region, much of the time by force, most of the time through direct rule! For many years the Irish were simply fighting for limited administrative control over Irish affairs. States can not colonise & slice up nations then absolve themselves from responsibility for the consequences, especially when refusing to break constitutional ties!

It's what many in Ulster have called for for centuries, but particularly since the creation of Northern Ireland. Our politics are defined by that question to this day, so to suggest that the British government & monarchy are somehow irrelevent when looking at what shapes this region is sublime to the ridiculous. They created Northern Ireland, literally, & have fought tooth and nail militarily to hang on to it. To deny this is to be either disingenuous, ignorant or perhaps blinded by patriotism.

Partition then created a population of Irish nationalists left at the behest of a Unionist govt, that in now having something to defend, felt so under seige from nationalist values they wouldn't let a catholic scrub the floor in a government building. Nobody killed over scripture during the troubles. Btw NI today is NOTHING like it was in '77. Also, the provos didn't exist before the Army arrived. If a UN force had of been sent in & reforms put through earlier things could've been much different

Yes he's Irish, and? Are you typing for the sake of it? If I actually have to explain to you that the Republic of Ireland & Northern Ireland are two seperate political & economic entities with different currencies & heads of state I really suggest you do some basic reading around the subject before partaking in discourse about it. I'll state again that Northern Ireland, the place that experienced the modern civil unrest & where we're discussing is the part that HASN'T broken away from Britain!

Er, Higgins isn't my president. I was responding to your comments on the origins of our social problems in NI, where Britain still governs, not the ROI & their economy, so you need not remind me of the year. It's not about apologies, it's about understanding history & how it shaped our society, something your comments showed ignorance about. Clearly though if you see things nationalistically, "us & them", you're not going to have an impartial & objective view on Britain's role.

From the NYT It is ironic that it should have been a patrol of the British Army, which she has so long reviled, that saved her and Mr. McAliskey by rushing them to medical attention; that the hospital in which she is being expertly treated should be called the Royal Victoria; that the wretches who shot her - captured by the same British Army patrol that saved her life -should be tried and surely sentenced to long prison terms under the same laws she so long has labeled harsh and discriminatory. Most of all, it is tragically ironic that the attack on her and her family should so closely resemble the outrages of I.R.A. thugs, for which she has been an energetic apologist.

@Tom Thumb As Devlin has said herself, the Paras did not stop the shooting and certainly didn't rush in. Once the 3rd Battalion Parachute regiment entered the house they waited half an hour without doing anything, McAliskey herself claims that they are waiting for the couple to die. It was only when other British soldiers arrived that she given first aid.

@thomasmcguinness365 2 года назад
@Tom Thumb "Anyone who knew Bernie would have to agree she told on occasions porky pies" oh you were round Bernadette Devlin's for tea were ye? Yous are old family friends are yous? Oh right my mistake. "Bernie herself on Ulster TV thanked the Rece team and the colonel of the Regiment for that intervention and for saving her life." citation and does this not contradict your previous statement about her lying. "If it wasn't for the Brits keeping peace in the North. Wholesale slaughter would have occurred on both sides" just generally I don't know why you brought this up because it has no relevance to what we were discussing but I'll discuss it anyway. "Wholesale slaughter" very possibly could have happened, however it is just as easy to in vision the Troubles going in a very different and far more peaceful way without the Brits given that British soldiers exacerbated tensions with the Falls road Curfew, the Ballymurphy massacre and Bloody Sunday causing hundreds more to join the PIRA and turn away NICRA and peaceful means (1). "By the way, I'm Irish, but I don't hide from the past." where are you from? And I'm happy enough to talk about the Troubles just not in this ridiculous way where "The British army were good actually." (1) Peter Pringle and Philip Jacobson (2000). Those Are Real Bullets, Aren't They?.
