  • I was six when Bobby Sands and the rest of the volunteers died on hunger strike. I knew, even then, that what was being done to them was wrong. I know all of these brave young men are in heaven, because they've already served their time in hell. My friend Diane named her son Bobby after Bobby Sands. Her son is a beautiful little boy, as I'm sure Bobby himself was. I hope the hunger strikers families know that their sons will never be forgotten. They'll always be loved and remembered. RIP Bobby

  • It is to the eternal shame of Britain & the Thatcher government, That Bobby Sands MP & his comrades were forced to this extreme. In order to acheive the Political Status to which they were entitled. Bobby was a gifted song-writer in his own right with some remarkable insights (Back Home In Derry, Children Of The Dole) I sometimes wonder what he was capable of becoming had he survived. I love this sone by Bik McFarlane. Rest in peace Bobby! TAL. ,,
