Subject: RE: BS: Bobby Sands hunger strike film
"Your attempt to whitewash centuries of repression, discrimination, and usurpation of rights and property does not speak well. Debate on the film is fine. But your denial of factual history, and your attempt to mitigate the guilt of the English government is beyond comprehension. "
Sorry Mick.
I missed this bit at the end of your post.
All nations did things in history that would not be acceptable today.
Britain was no worse than others, and better than most.
Your country, Mick, was stealing land from Mexico in much more recent times.
You have to move on Mick, and ask the people of today what they want.
What you must never do today is force things on a people that those people do not want.
