hungerstrike pt 1/11

A major documentary marking the 25th anniversary of the 1981 hunger strike. The programme uses first hand witness accounts, to tell the dramatic secret history of a battle of wits with ten men's lives on the line and a showdown between the IRA and Margaret Thatcher, in which no side was prepared to give ground.

Shame this is only  RTE propaganda because its a interesting subject that needs to be looked at.

The hunger strike was a really good propaganda coo for the IRA. I think they should all do it.

it got republicans, ira or watever the scum go-by nowhere . the nationalist community are simply brainwashed by the so called leaders of there movement whose support dwindles year by year in the republic of ireland who realise they cannot support or run or want to deal with ulsters problems and what it will bring. right minded ppl should understand it doesnt make sense any idea of a unified ireland.
