People here saying 'what about the IRA' yes some actions what the IRA did was wrong but some of the members that were caught had to serve jail time, got abused in jail and died in jail. The british army are funded by the British tax payers, they are allowed to intern raid toucher and murder people without prosecution. The IRA are branded as terrorist but it's the British army that does a thing like this, and many many more. And at the end of the day if there British army never set foot in Irela
Will we ever hear the end of "bloody sunday"? So it was a shame but a majority of the killings during the troubles were carried out by the IRA. A truth which the repulican movement wants to keep hidden. That's why they want all the attention constantly focused on the wrong-doing of the security forces.
Question did the IRA use rubber bullets ? I think not they killed kids as young as 3 buy leaving bombs in litter bins ok you know bugger all about Ireland now jog on .
@garethella That's a bit mean considering it was a peace march and I admit the ira were very bad but this march had nothing to do with the ira so do you dislike the irish or something?
@garethella Yes there were irish republicans there but it was a peace march and also people taking part in the march were not part of the ira and either way they were unarmed and the unit that fired on them was well known for violence against protesters.
@MrScruffles10 ,i think youll find there was at least 1 IRA person shot (gerard donachy) before all this Paul Challenor was the first soldier to be killed by the Provisional IRA in Derry, when he was shot by a sniper on the Creggan estate. A further six soldiers had been killed in Derry by mid-December 1971. 1,932 rounds were fired at the British Army, who also faced 211 explosions and 180 nail bombs and who fired 364 rounds in return.I have no sympathy whatsoever with the dead rioters, none.
@garethella Fine but what about the people who weren't rioting and killed. Specifically people killed by lenny murphy,ulster loyalists, and the british army.Besides people in the crowd, a large number of them, had peaceful intentions. But if you don't feel sympathy for these people killed at least have some for the irish that were peaceful and killed. But personally I think that neither side was that great.

Oh! I see. Then it's ok to shoot civilians for dead british soldiers killed by the IRA? Wait a moment! Didn't we had this already in history? You kill one of our soldiers, we in return kill randomly chosen innocent civilians. Life is so easy when your head is full of bigottery!
From 1 August 1971 to 9 February 1972 in Londonderry 2,656 shots were fired at the security forces, 456 nail and gelignite bombs were thrown and there were 225 explosions, mostly against protestant business premises. In 80 separate incidents in Londonderry 319 shots were fired at the security forces and 84 nail bombs were thrown at them; two men of the security forces were killed and two wounded
Weasel - would you really want to see a return to violence? As I said earlier, if a united Ireland is declared, we on the mainland would not have any involvement, so why would we have to worry? I think it would be those living in Ireland who would have the worry of Loyalist violence and the prospect of everything returning back to pre-peace process state.
@Weasel1282 I think the majority of the mainland British public would not care one bit if a united Ireland was declared. I think the overwhelming feeling would be that you are welcome to Northern Ireland and all the issues associated with it. I personally think that declaring a united Ireland would result in Loyalist paramilitaries resuming their armed campaigns and the area would again descend into violence, but there you go.
@tomd2103 nothing you can say will chane my mind, or the minds of the Irish. and descend into violence? give me a break. as long you guys keep out we will be fine.
@Weasel1282 So you think the loyalists will just lie down and accept the very thing they have vehemently opposed? I genuinely don't think they would and the guns would come back out. As I said, I think most people on the mainland would breath a massive sigh of relief if a united Ireland were ever to be declared, so you wouldn't have to worry about us. As far as I am concerned Northern Ireland is Irish as it is and I don't really feel any shared identity with the people there.
@tomd2103 bring out the guns! we have fought for our freedom before and died for it. its you who would have to worry. idc if they stay just obey our laws or get out
Being British, I am glad that an apology was made for the terrible events that happened on Bloody Sunday. Just reinforces the fact that we are better and above the murdering scum that have never apologised for atrocities in Birmingham, Enniskillen, Omagh etc.
its not meant to bring them back an apology is an apology. anyway its more than the IRA have ever done for the blowing up of innocent civilians. atrocities were commited by both sides but its time to let go and move on.
To all the general point is you should not be looking for apologies
When you have not offered one for Omagh or Warrington or another
Act of brutality or murder particularly , Warrington where a 3 year old lad died at that and a 12 year old boy ..When you say sorry for that then fine, but an apology out context
With the the full picture missing is rich when you have blood on your hands
Your hypocrites the lot of you if you cannot understand that then ... now end of chat
@heighwaysonthewing That comment was not intelligent or based on any evidence . The British army were using plastic bullets in Northern Ireland, these plastic bullets were agreed to be too dangerous for Hong Kong and they were only used in the Nationalist sides. Not the loyalist. These bullets were only meant to be used to bounce from the floor and hit the legs of the target. However, many were found with these bullets in their heads. who are the hypocrites now ? Over 20 children were shot.
if you really wanted to apologise for these killings you take every soldier that patrolled that day and make them face the families of the innocents killed and let them decide their fate
there is no excuse for murder ever and I think you will find about 0.01 % of the UK population has had anything to do with friggin Ireland ,that's the government mate, take your head out of your arse and look again , land grabbing , that's gov again and also Ireland tried to invade Wales (if you know your history ) and failed so your lot have tried it and failed ok now f**k off and go play with a potato
@heighwaysonthewing First of all why are you debating with yourself and secondly yes the IRA were murderers.But have you asked yourself why they murdered?The IRA wouldnt have even come into existence if it wasn't for ye greedy land grabbing cunts trying to colonise half the world for material benifit.Sorry dude but ye created the IRA not us.
I've been fortunate enough to travel extensively & Derry's a town I'll never forget. Touring the Bloody Sunday museum & walking the streets where this great injustice actually took place is enough to bring even the toughest to tears. The apology comes late, but I'm joyful for the families of the victims. They & their lost loved ones deserved this day, no matter how late. 26+6=1.
I'm English but I have to agree that we should get out of Northern Ireland and let the country be one again. To much blood shed. Enough is Enough. The army should be tried for there atrocities.
The only reason why this has been so big is since that it was made by government troops. The IRA has killed thousands of people, most of them civilians.
i can't wait until the day england is told to fuck off by wales, north ireland, scotland, and every other commonwealth they use to make money. that's the only reason they're such a modernized, successful country anyways. Theyre the biggest fucking empire in the modern world yet they call themselves a democracy. the U.S. is no better.
why did they only say sorry now?they should just get out of northern ireland.It makes no difference if they say sorry more than 30 years after the event
bloody sunday was not meant to end up how it did the british army did not do it as milisous act it was done because riotsers got out of hand and also with requards to the savile inquiry this is all speculation the only people that the now the truth of what happend on this day is the solders of one para everybody else is saying by speculation
so now i dont belve that derek willford ignored orders from higher authority he was just doing his job !!!
@MrTigerseye1994 the words of one soldier or who ever it was in the british army said We want some kills
the british terrorists have contiunely did this to the people of ireland, murdering ppl for no reason, here and on the first bloody sunday they fired into a unarmed crowd of innocent ppl, even the ira members here didnt have weapons or any intentions to fight, the british just wanted to see more ppl dead
Wonder how long it's going to take for America to apologise for the Mi Lai Massacre or illegaly invading Iraq......probably never. They don't do bodycounts....or apologies.
Why don't the English just fuck off out of Northern Ireland and allow Ireland to be one place again?
Same again, why don't the Israelies fuck off out of the occupied territories? Or the US fuck off from financially crippelling a major part of the third world?
It would seem that "pride" and "material value" is worth more than human life.
Never ever relinquish your values - those that give their lives for greater causes are more valuable than money or pride will ever be.
Well, a lot of people are making money from the violence in the middle east. America defense spending is at 550 billion dollats a year now, a lot of that is profit for powerful defense contractors and lobbyists that are working hard to keep the cycle of violence going. If the US brings spending under control and stops supporting the apartheid, a lot of people will lose their jobs. They do not care one bit about the value of human life, just the billions they make form taxpayers.
The oppression of Ireland was never as profitable as the violence in the middle east. The British government never spent hundreds of billions on the war there, there was never much of a profit motive. Incidents like this where enough to tip public opinion in Ireland favor. When 14 people are murdered in Gaza, it's an everyday part of a very profitable business.
@mmysama Im very sorry why do you think the british wanted Ireland so much not because of the staging post it was to the new world then eh not because thats where all cross atlantic ships stopped first Europe in its time a lot more profit was stolen from Ireland than the middle east they stole our land our blood our children and our future!
I think it has something to do with the fact that the English language is a language that originated in England. The English language involves punctuation, that is used to separate parts of a statement into separate sentences so that it is easier to communicate. People like you, who don't use any punctuation, are apt to make statements that are completely unintelligible.
@mmysama O.K. Jog along then you petty minded little moron, I'm very sorry, why do you think the British wanted Ireland so much ? not because the of the staging post it was to the New World then eh? Not because it was where all transatlantic ships stopped first in Europe, In its time a lot more profit was stolen from Ireland than than the Middle East, They stole our land, blood, children and our future. That's just for you cos you seem intellectually challenged.
OH! THATS what you where saying! I could'nt tell, honestly.
but yeah, the point I was making is that, the British screwed over ireland as much as they could, but they stopped when it became unprofitable. Now they are apologizing for all the shit they did and are looking for some other developing nation to screw over. Someday, they will be apologizing for the violence they cause in the middle east. Of course, that won't be until the middle east runs out of oil.
@mmysama and the was, WE never accepted partition, a deal was struck behind the Irisg people's back, many many Irish protestants want a single united Ireland, the popular misconceptionthat many adopt is wrong, It's Loyalists that want a seperate state and it just so happens all loyalists have protestant beliefs, at least the Middle East gets paid for its oil, My family were decimated from 1000 members to 35 in the 1600 cos we wouldnt bow to the crown, And we still wont today, No sorry's or money

@tomview1 i take it you are amThe irisherican ? Why dont you lot just fuck off out of america and let the native americans have it back .. The Protestants have been there for 400 years they have the right to determine what they want to be ,. The irish accepted partition in 1917 they have a free ireland too.
@gregclark13 The English annexed Ireland 400 years ago - the protestants still celebrate their inequity with the orange march. I am a white Australian, I am also an accepted member of an aboriginal tribe.
I would be most greatful if the white anglo saxon protestants would fuck off from this country where I am most welcome.
Unfortunately Australia is a culture and a country it aint gonna happen, but if the orange skirted protestant facist cunts would leave N. Ireland peace would be for real.
@tomview1 Just becuase you lived there first doenst give you anymore rights over it than someone who lived there for several generations. Its an idiotic arguement. Neither own it and neither has the right to expel foriegners ..Or if you presumably you believe wihites have the right to kick out asian who move to their country. Who is the facist now..you ..
@gregclark13 WE never accepted partition a deal was struck behind the governments back and forced upon Irish people's many many Irish protestants want a single united Ireland the popular misconception you have adopted is wrong its loyalists that want a seperate state it just so happens that most loyalists are also protestant my family were decimated from 1000 members to 35 because they wouldnt accept English rule when they first started oppressing us
@TheRecusant1 it is amyth to think people in south are desperate for a united ireland , the majorty leadership and people are very happy with the split and recognise the 400 year right of the norther to self determination. Whether you like it or not it is culturally different to the south . There are 1.5million protestants that would fight to the last man over that. I live in belfast my father is catholic so cast your stereotype asides.
@gregclark13 Cast you prejudice aside my friend as you may well know many protestant's would like to see a unified Ireland, and if it came it to a fight which noone wants many southern catholic emigree's would return to outnumber your million and a half, and be assured as their fight's around the world increase the british Govt will eventually abandon you Northern Ireland is no longer the great source of Income it once was from The New World of America TTFN!!
@TheRecusant1 oh i thought they did that in 1921 and what with the hordes of irish that fought for the north and iras surrender in the good friday agreement in the full knowledge 1. the the north would cecede to the south . 2 The british would not bow to the gun. 3. The south would never fight over the north.
@gregclark13 are you still making daft comments, Look pal your a twat, so are most of your asshole Orange daisychain assfucking pals, celebrating battle's fought 400 yrs ago that without help from other country's you would've lost severly! Bunch of hatemongering bigoted dickheads Britain is a nation of efette asshole's asyou appear too demonstrate so well Jog on ya daft little twat ya da's at home waiting to bugger ya!

@tomview1 The english are part of britain so they can't f off out of it. Only the british can. The British don't withdraw fom ni because the people of ireland as a whole have voted for them to stay until a majority in NI want independence. Then they will leave. There's your answer.
@lolatmyaccounts I don't - as I have stated - I would rather see England relinquish it's forced occupation and allow Ireland to be a whole, independent country. Do you not understand my dislike of the word Unity as used in "United Kingdom". United by force is not unity.
@tomview1 the funny thing is the Northern Irish DONT WANT TO BE PART OF IRELAND. thats the whole point. why should the Irish take someones land that just because your on the some island? it would be exaclty the same if the English invaded Wales or Scotland. if you had an actual vote the Northern Irish would say they are British, not Irish. leave Northern Ireland alone and maybe the English wouldnt have to be there protecting fellow British people. i agree with everything else you said.
@commensence1 That's the most articulate and intelligent response I've ever seen on Youtube. Thank you for enlightening me to what I didn't know. Generalising and superlatives will never allow us to see clearly, there will be those that oppose British occupation of N.Ireland and wish Ireland to be whole again and there will be those that see N.I. as a part of the United Kingdom. I see now the value of greater understanding and not taking sides.

Firstly, I hate tea, I like Coffee. Secondly what the British government did was wrong, although peaceful intentions couldn't be maintained, the military itself is doing it's job, don't blame them. The Irish would be far worse, I have Irish roots and am proud of them, however you stubborn assholes think murdering hundreds of our people is acceptable? I hope you realise you're all terrorists.
So i could say that "your people" as you put it, are terrorists who just so happen to get payed for what they do.
Im not saying any act of killing innocent people is justifiable or should have happened. But have a think before you express your opinion so you might think broader than "us" and "them". That attitude didnt get anybody anywhere.
So the IRA refuse to apologise for the hundreds of British citizens being blown to pieces by car bombs? The IRA isn't even a military, it is just a shambles, a total and utter failure.
@55DJL and what about the thousands of irish raped killed beaten thrown in prison wrongfullly. they where living their lives quietly untill the british came. who are they to say that someone that has done nothing wrong has to live by their rules. the irish where taken andvantage of. and if this happend to you wouldn't you want revenge? the british didn't belong there. and your comment doesn't belong on this video tea sucker.
why was the IRA formly the IRB formed? to fight against the british coming into ireland and abusing their power as a great political and military force in the world. if america walked into say canada and acted like the english did (which they obviously wouldnt, its just an example) the bristish would go ape shit. i suggest all you english twats read Martin McGartland's autobiography, educate your stupid selves. Now that man was a true irish hero in my opinion. RIP to all those who died on B.Sun
The Brits and IRA BOTH killed innocents.... you can change a polatition... but you can't change the system.... Fuck the Brit Gov and fuck the IRA... attack polatitions.. and maybe soldiers stationed in Ireland??..... but not civi targets in the UK or Germany you fucking scumbags!
They did attack soldiers stationed in ireland, and they never targetted civilians in either britain or Germany. Yes the IRA did kill innocent people but almost never on purpose, the only time they did kill innocent people was in retaliation to loyalist massacres of civilians, and they abandoned even that policy soon after it was put into practice. But they never targetted Civilians in britain or germany, never.
Who did? Who planted bombs in busy streets? Are you talking about the 14 unarmed people who were assassinated by the Parachute Regiment or are you referring to others? Please, do elaborate. The British Government has admitted that the Derry Massacre was a complete and utter unprovoked operation in murder. Members of the Crown Services have also corroborated this and still you can't accept this? Still you refuse to say "fuck it, I was wrong. They were murdered"? Still?
BRITTAIN WE AS VICTIMS OF YOUR MURDERS WANT NO PART OF YOU I FOR ONE AM A REPUBLICAN AND WHAT YOU DO DOES NOT CHANGE MY BELIEFS BUT ENCOURAGE THEM,SIN FEIN ALL THE WAY,TIOCFAIDH AR LA
Why the fuck shouldnt they be prosoctued???? They MURDERED 14 INNOCENT civilians!!! They refused to get out of OUR country and turned a peaceful civil rights march into MASS MURDER. Cop on man, own up to the faults of your empire.
@MrTigerseye1994 The british army blocked the route of the march! The majority of the marchers took the detour and returned to the bog side. A small minority, mostly children and teenagers threw stones at the british army! The british army fired the first shot! There was no control over these monsters! They done the same in the ballymurphy massacre Where along with many civilians they murdered a catholic priest! The saville report shows that the ira had no intentions of interuptin the march
@MrTigerseye1994 Are you going to reply to seanymo you cunt? Im just about fucked off with seeing and hearing British people shower their military with praises. They shoot civilians steady in afghanistan and the SAS carry out politcal assasinations in Iraq still to this day. I know four men all unarmed and only one an ira member who have been killed by British soliders in Derry there have been hundreds more in the past few couple of decades and thousands over the years smarten up
@mylittlescruff I agree that the troops should get out of your country although I believe that if your country had instant and total control it would be a mess however, you need and deserve identity. Passion and loyalty always brings out words such as murder, innocent, peaceful. Did the Paras really murder the innocent and peaceful? I do not have the answers however, I look at this in an entirely neutral manner..nobody should have been shot that day but what was the level of provocation?
@mylittlescruff Same old story. They make a big hoo ha of an " investigation" and all that claptrap. In reality it's a whitewash and an insult to the victims' families. Do you know how to get away with murder? Join the police or the armed forces.
its truly shocking the level of knowledge people can display when talking about...something they know nothing about :) as for Bloody Sunday, a taxi driver in the Lake District killed more innocents in one hour than the paras ever did in NI. Still, if you fight with pigs like the Republicans you get covered in mud.
@thosewerehappydays yes it is truely shocking that you know so little. What on earth have the Cumbria shootings got to do with Bloody Sunday you total utter and complete buffoon?
now apologies for the genocide of millions of other innocent coloured people in africa, india, australia and north america OW and lets not forget the creation of israel which killed 500 thousand palestinains
@themightyjoseph shut the fuck up, Britain had a powerful empire, of course people are going to get killed, your people would do they same if they could, but they cant so...
@jaysonbarton The British just came into a PEACEFUL march and killed 13 INNOCENT people just because a man (michael collins) brought britain to its knees
@JHolmes231 oh fuck off nothing was peaceful in n.i at that time and u can protest against British occupation but whats the point, if we werent going to leave when you blow up our pubs, kill our soldiers and kill each other we certainly arent gunna leave if you "protest" i dont aggree that people had to die i just dont think the soldiers shut be prosecuted
FUNNY, BECAUSE ALL OF THOSE THINGS STARTED TO HAPPEN WHEN YOO KILLED 14 INNOCENTS ON BLOODY SUNDAY, THEN LEFT 10 BRAVE MEN TO DIE ON HUNGERSTRIKE DIDNT GIVE A SHIT
YOU R FUCKING SICK, THE BRITISH BROUGHT THE WAR WITH THE IRA ON THEMSELVES AFTER THE THINGS THEY DONE
WHAT WID YOO HAV DONE IF SOMEONE YOO LOVED/KNEW WAS SHOT DOWN FOR NO REASON?
Japanese kidnapped 200,000 Asians women & girls as young as 10-year-olds & Caucasian women in Indonesia & gang raped them up to 50 times a day & to save bullets, they buried women alive.
They still deny it.
In 2007, a bunch of Japease organizations bought 1 pg of Wall Street Journal & filled it w/ lies: the victims were PROSTITUTES & they volunteered to serve Japanese soldiers & military paid them monthly salary higher than that of Japanese generals.
@KimInLosAngeles The difference is that the government used civilians as pawns and were quite happy to let us get bombed ,Bloody Sunday made the ira what it was and the denial kept people getting blown up for 30 years .
NO SURRENDER TO THE IRA THATCHER USED TO SAY
I SAY THANKS VERY MUCH FOR PUTTING OUR LIVES IN UNNECESSARY DANGER.THE TREACHEROUS BITCH
@london2resistance Give it a rest we both know the English Raped and Murdered more Irish women than anyone they had invaded in history, dont you think its better to leave it in the past? You know damn well the IRA are far from child predators, your just vexed because they are an undefeated Army of Culchies and Farmers. and that stings a bit. duddenit !!!
It's good to hear what we already knew - too bad it only took 38 years and the true tragedy is that is happened at all. I just hope it brings some sort of comfort/closure to the family of the victims and Ireland in general.
For the record, I am an American and am of Irish descent, both Catholic and Protestant. For any Americans who have commented here about matters not pertaining to this tragedy from 1972, shame on you. Have some respect and find another outlet for you nonsensical chatter.
about fuckin time so how about prosecuting those cowards who murderded innocent people in the own country if that isnt terrorism then what the fuck is
Here is a good idea to prosecute for the Iraq and they are as follows. Tony Blair, Jack Straw, and the entire Tony Blair Cabinent for dragging America and the British into the Iraq due to its fake intelligence that lead to deaths of so many soldiers of both nations and some other nations. America was fooled but Britain knew what they were doing since British interest control America. So leave Israel alone and stop blaming Israel for the deaths of all sides in the Iraq War.
@v19d Dont blame your nation or your elected officials for this war. assuming you are from Ireland or the Uk. Islam has had this coming for 5 decades, Terrorism is nothing new to either of our countries. some is caused for the right reasons and some for the wrong reasons, Islam has never been a victim, islam doesnt know what oppression is, They have been the aggressors for thousands of years, they have only been a pain in our butts for the last 50 years. Islam is death to all it touches !!!
@777archangeI777 I'm an American the issue of Ireland has always been my desire. I was referring to the faulty British intelligence that they sold to the USA that led to the Iraq War. Instead of the world blaming Bush blame Blair, Jack Straw, and every other person in the no intelligence British government. Yes the British has for thousands of years invaded worldwide.
Why is there no apology for the horrendous Gulf oil mess that BP is responsible for? Said British company is killing BILLIONS of sentient beings as a result of gross incompetence!
@guyNbluejeans It is not a British Company, it is a multinational company with 30% of its Shareholders living in the United States. The British government owes no apology to the people of the Gulf Coast.
@LairdKincavle According to Wick and everyone in the media, it's a British company. The CEO, Tony Hayward, a Brit, is the man that gets the blame. BILLIONS of animals are dying and have died on account of him for allowing a shabby oil rig to operate in the Gulf. There's no excuse for his incompetence; it was all about saving some money by not having the safety equipment installed and/or maintained. He should do the honorable thing and end his life for the horror he's caused!
@guyNbluejeans there are as many american employees and shareholders in BP as there are british. the rig was american, and so was the valve that broke. so shut the fuck up or fix it yourself.

@MrScruffles10 ,i think youll find there was at least 1 IRA person shot (gerard donachy) before all this Paul Challenor was the first soldier to be killed by the Provisional IRA in Derry, when he was shot by a sniper on the Creggan estate. A further six soldiers had been killed in Derry by mid-December 1971. 1,932 rounds were fired at the British Army, who also faced 211 explosions and 180 nail bombs and who fired 364 rounds in return.I have no sympathy whatsoever with the dead rioters, none.

Weasel - would you really want to see a return to violence? As I said earlier, if a united Ireland is declared, we on the mainland would not have any involvement, so why would we have to worry? I think it would be those living in Ireland who would have the worry of Loyalist violence and the prospect of everything returning back to pre-peace process state.

Weasel1282 8 months ago
@Weasel1282 I think the majority of the mainland British public would not care one bit if a united Ireland was declared. I think the overwhelming feeling would be that you are welcome to Northern Ireland and all the issues associated with it. I personally think that declaring a united Ireland would result in Loyalist paramilitaries resuming their armed campaigns and the area would again descend into violence, but there you go.

@tomd2103 nothing you can say will chane my mind, or the minds of the Irish. and descend into violence? give me a break. as long you guys keep out we will be fine.
Weasel1282 8 months ago
@Weasel1282 So you think the loyalists will just lie down and accept the very thing they have vehemently opposed? I genuinely don't think they would and the guns would come back out. As I said, I think most people on the mainland would breath a massive sigh of relief if a united Ireland were ever to be declared, so you wouldn't have to worry about us. As far as I am concerned Northern Ireland is Irish as it is and I don't really feel any shared identity with the people there.

@heighwaysonthewing That comment was not intelligent or based on any evidence . The British army were using plastic bullets in Northern Ireland, these plastic bullets were agreed to be too dangerous for Hong Kong and they were only used in the Nationalist sides. Not the loyalist. These bullets were only meant to be used to bounce from the floor and hit the legs of the target. However, many were found with these bullets in their heads. who are the hypocrites now ? Over 20 children were shot.

Well, a lot of people are making money from the violence in the middle east. America defense spending is at 550 billion dollats a year now, a lot of that is profit for powerful defense contractors and lobbyists that are working hard to keep the cycle of violence going. If the US brings spending under control and stops supporting the apartheid, a lot of people will lose their jobs. They do not care one bit about the value of human life, just the billions they make form taxpayers.

@mmysama
The oppression of Ireland was never as profitable as the violence in the middle east. The British government never spent hundreds of billions on the war there, there was never much of a profit motive. Incidents like this where enough to tip public opinion in Ireland favor. When 14 people are murdered in Gaza, it's an everyday part of a very profitable business.

I think it has something to do with the fact that the English language is a language that originated in England.

They did attack soldiers stationed in ireland, and they never targetted civilians in either britain or Germany.

But they never targetted Civilians in britain or germany, never.

At least Brits are acknoweldging this.
Japanese kidnapped 200,000 Asians women & girls as young as 10-year-olds & Caucasian women in Indonesia & gang raped them up to 50 times a day & to save bullets, they buried women alive.
They still deny it.
In 2007, a bunch of Japease organizations bought 1 pg of Wall Street Journal & filled it w/ lies: the victims were PROSTITUTES & they volunteered to serve Japanese soldiers & military paid them monthly salary higher than that of Japanese generals.

@KimInLosAngeles The difference is that the government used civilians as pawns and were quite happy to let us get bombed ,Bloody Sunday made the ira what it was and the denial kept people getting blown up for 30 years .

It's good to hear what we already knew - too bad it only took 38 years and the true tragedy is that is happened at all. I just hope it brings some sort of comfort/closure to the family of the victims and Ireland in general.
For the record, I am an American and am of Irish descent, both Catholic and Protestant. For any Americans who have commented here about matters not pertaining to this tragedy from 1972, shame on you. Have some respect and find another outlet for you nonsensical chatter.

Here is a good idea to prosecute for the Iraq and they are as follows. Tony Blair, Jack Straw, and the entire Tony Blair Cabinent for dragging America and the British into the Iraq due to its fake intelligence that lead to deaths of so many soldiers of both nations and some other nations. America was fooled but Britain knew what they were doing since British interest control America. So leave Israel alone and stop blaming Israel for the deaths of all sides in the Iraq War.

@v19d Dont blame your nation or your elected officials for this war. assuming you are from Ireland or the Uk. Islam has had this coming for 5 decades, Terrorism is nothing new to either of our countries. some is caused for the right reasons and some for the wrong reasons, Islam has never been a victim, islam doesnt know what oppression is, They have been the aggressors for thousands of years, they have only been a pain in our butts for the last 50 years. Islam is death to all it touches !!!

@777archangeI777 I'm an American the issue of Ireland has always been my desire. I was referring to the faulty British intelligence that they sold to the USA that led to the Iraq War. Instead of the world blaming Bush blame Blair, Jack Straw, and every other person in the no intelligence British government. Yes the British has for thousands of years invaded worldwide.

Why is there no apology for the horrendous Gulf oil mess that BP is responsible for? Said British company is killing BILLIONS of sentient beings as a result of gross incompetence!
guyNbluejeans 1 year ago
@guyNbluejeans It is not a British Company, it is a multinational company with 30% of its Shareholders living in the United States. The British government owes no apology to the people of the Gulf Coast.

@LairdKincavle According to Wick and everyone in the media, it's a British company. The CEO, Tony Hayward, a Brit, is the man that gets the blame. BILLIONS of animals are dying and have died on account of him for allowing a shabby oil rig to operate in the Gulf. There's no excuse for his incompetence; it was all about saving some money by not having the safety equipment installed and/or maintained. He should do the honorable thing and end his life for the horror he's caused!

@guyNbluejeans there are as many american employees and shareholders in BP as there are british. the rig was american, and so was the valve that broke. so shut the fuck up or fix it yourself.
