Thread Name: BS: Bobby Sands hunger strike film
Subject: RE: BS: Bobby Sands hunger strike film
Hold on Keith where did I specifically challenge that the hunger strike was not supported by IRA leadership outside?

I merely asked for your sources. Any other reading into my request is your interpretation.

I'd stay clear of the speculation Keith, the damage you wished to inflict has somewhat backfired on you.

I'm still waiting to hear about the MRF, any takers.

As I said somewhere up there I would like it if the film focussed on the events that shaped the life of Bobby Sands. Life doesn't happen in a vacumn. I don't think that anyone wakes up in the morning and decides to suddenly take up a path that they know could eventually lead to their untimely death. What made Sands do the things he did? What shaped his beliefs? I think that Bobby Sands and a number of other young men got tired of the oppression and decided to do something about it. There are only so many times you can kick a dog before the dog bites back.
