100,000 at the funeral not 50!

[COMMUNISTGUERRILLA92]

there was 100 thousand at his funeral not 50 thousand

[CARNLOU]

Maggie Thatcher is a fucking bitch... hope she dies sometime soon and I cannot believe the IRA failed to kill her. She is the one reason why the whole world should hate the British... fucking bitch!!!

[marianmichalski]

@CARNLOU so do I

[snecklifter1]

Well, WRT Shitty Sands. Cabinet papers released yesterday show that, the Baroness offered huge concessions to the IRA and Gerry Adams to prevent these 10 men killing themselves and ....the IRA and Gerry Adams refused. They died because of the IRA and Mr Adams!! It was within their power to stop it and they wanted more death, even their own. What sort of filth are they? The hunger strikers were not even told!!!

"if you want me to wear a convict's uniform you're going to have to nail it on my back" -Bobby Sands

[biglad234]

[remedy63]

"They won't break me because the desire for freedom, and the freedom of the Irish people, is in my heart. The day will dawn when all the people of Ireland will have the desire for freedom to show. It is then that we will see the rising of the moon."

"They have nothing in their whole imperial arsenal that can break the spirit of one Irishman who doesn't want to be broken."

"Our revenge will be the laughter of our children."

- Bobby Sands

steve mcqueens black.......hilarous!

[1L0V3C1IT]

This film is a remake of H3....

[remedy63]

no its not like they are both accurate accounts of the same story thats why they are similar. H3 is good to but i liked this better.

[ActivServiceUnit]

""will provoke outrage"" - why?? Cos it shows what a bunch of murdering cunts the British were?? Same old shit from the Brits, fucking scum. Well done Seve McQueen and long live Bobby Sands - greatest ever Irishman

[tamearaisaris]

I don't agree that Bobby Sands was the greatest Irishman ever - I have respect for his coinviction in his beliefs and he was without a doubt to anyone who has read his poetry a gifted and intelligent man - But Ireland has produced many who did more for politics and some of the finest writers in the world (shaw, yeats, joyce, heany to name just a few) - am looking forward to this movie

[Oliver1649]

ActivServiceUnit,

No, I think you made a mistake....

Sands was the thinnest ever Irishman.

Slimming for Ireland?

What a joke.

[Oliver1649]

ActivServiceUnit,

lol....

Steve McQueen is British for goodness sake.

Is he "fucking scum" too?

You're really quite amusing, aren't you?

[lydiarulesha]

what the hell u on about "same old shit from the Brits, fucking scum"? fucking think before u critise anything or anyone or don't say anything at all cos right now u just seem racist

[Scoob505]

I have a lot of respect for Steve McQueen.

[Oliver1649]

If it wasn't for the 2056 people the IRA and INLA murdered during the "Troubles" (108 senior citizens, 61 children), I'd consider this 'film' a comedy.

Still, 10 less convicted terrorists and easy on the prison's catering budget too, not all bad then.

[dadrumddue]

Oliver im cant get a witness from the time of Cromwell as if you new anything you would obviously have known that the people or 'eye witnesses' as you wanted are all dead either trough Cromwell or through death of natural causes!

Simply I cannot get you an eye witness but son the facts are down in black and white you check up in the facts youll see he killed alot more Irish than anyone throughout Irish history! He was a total and uter embarassment to the British! End Off son!

[Oliver1649]

dadrumddue,

An eye witness account my friend, in writing.

Dear oh dear, you're not very sharp, are you?

[headlesscromwell]

@Oliver1649

Poor old Oliver. Face facts. The old proddy dogs are dying in huge numbers. In the period up to 2019 the 'Catholic cultural community' will gain 143,424 new voters, as the children reach 18. The 'Protestant cultural community' will gain 128,651 new voters. But, over the same period of time, if current death rates hold, the 'Catholic cultural community' will lose 63,909 voters through death, while the proddy dogs will lose 110,251.

Net gain of over 60,000 catholics. Im loving it.

[ActivServiceUnit]

die in hell you cunt, T-A-L

[Oliver1649]

ActiveServiceUnit,

I take it you have no facts or points to offer either?

Chuckle.

[timpatjoe]

if it wasnt for the british leaving those nazis in power for so long that is the unionst party or beating and shooting civil rights marchers off the streets sands and his friends would never have been in the i.r.a

[MCDG1]

Throughout the whole clip there was not one mention of the fact that Bobby Sands was an elected member of parliament. Ch4 seemed to have avoided it

[cfcnlr]

cant wait til its out

bobby u r an inspiration not only to irish republicanism but u r an inspiration 2 everyone showing that if really believe in something and believe u can accomplish it then there is nothing that can stop u if you have got the guts

[Irishlass07]

This film should be required veiwing for anyone that was touched by the events of that fateful year of 1981. Never forget.

[ActivServiceUnit]

well said

[Thunderfinger2]

[5timesandcounting]

[NESSMOTHER]

[OglachnahEireann]

One of the greatest heroes in Irish history, "a poet and a soldier who died corageously" cant wait to see it! Last Irishy film that came out of Cannes was "Wind that shakes the Barley" and that was animal! So I seriously cant wait for this!
