lol i love how the narraor says the catholics rebeled against a protestant state that neglected them. SUrely they ment to say a British state that deliberately neglected them. I am sure that all the leaders of NI upto this point were all English, they all sounded English when I hear them speak.
Between 1921 and 1968, Westminster systematically avoided getting involved in the way in which Protestant Councillors and MPs governed the province. It was governed as a colony, interms of Housing, education and employment. It was also policed as a colony.
the irish government and garda used to collude with the IRA. what's the difference??
the only way there'll ever be a united Ireland is if people vote for it DEMOCRATICALLY. BULLYING AND BOMBING people to your point of view hasn't worked as Adams & Co found out after 3000+ needless deaths.
(please copy and paste this onto every IRA, RIRA, CIRA, INLA page on youtube. Educate the world.)
The British Army should have stayed on the streets for 12 months maximum then pulled out and a UN Force placed there instead. Unfortunately, they stayed too long and gradually sided with the protestants. It could all have been handled so differently...
@RepublicOf32 Thanks mate. My Dad was over there in the RAF on National Service from 1955-57 before the years of the Troubles. He was appalled about how the situation deteriorated years later. Long live the peace process.
guess their trying to make up for 50 years of propaganda and lies which, unfortunately, even the irish-australians, irish-americans and irish-canadians (each of which receive their news of events transpiring in the UK and Ireland from the BBC wire) were forced to believe. At least the Irish had RTE.
I personally have a good deal of respect for the BBC. Although they are funded by the UK government the pursue an indepentant editorial line (ableit with a liberal/leftist bias). Unlike the majority of national news providers they are generally impartial. They are just one of the reasons that prove we live in a democracy. I would hate to see the news service provided in the communist/marxist heaven proposed by comrades Adams & M'ginnis.

That is possibly the best statement I've heard towards a peaceful resolution to the conflict.

RTE were more bias towards British opinion than the fuckin BBC where they after all enforced a gagging order on Sinn Fein long before the BBC did

RTE did not decide to gag Sinn Fein, the Irish Government did. RTE had no choice or say in the matter.
