Thread Name: BS: Bobby Sands hunger strike film
Subject: RE: BS: Bobby Sands hunger strike film
Bobby Sands hunger stike Film "Hunger" - All this prat managed to achieve was possibly "weight watcher or of the year 1985" absolutely nothing else.

Now let's face it exactly what did he starve himself to death for?

United Ireland - Not achieved

A Police Force that was predominantly Catholic or Republican - Not achieved.

A commitment from the Government of the UK that Ireland will be a single united country - Not achieved

Can any of you tell me what this man achieved apart from writing songs with lyrics that were entirely spurious, historically incorrect and intended to inflame a bad situation with the sole intent of making it worse.

Now all that is bad enough but these were the people he was supposed to have been protecting.

Protecting, Jesus "H" come dancing Christ Bobby Sands and his colleqagues killed 3500+ Irishmen, Women and Children and injured and maimed about 30,000 more - For What???

Absolutely Nothing - Hey boys that is what this prat died for absolutely nothing. And that is how history will record his so called sacrifice - It was made for nothing.

Oh Yes "I wish I was back Home In Fuckin' Derry" - Hey all you so called Folkies take a bloody good look at those lyrics - lets hear you give them some sort of credance based on history taking into account that they sing of something that was supposed to have happened in 1803 but was written about in the 1970's - Bobby Sands contribution should have been based upon historical accuracy, particularly as it should have based upon 20 X 20 hindsight - But there again, as with all things Irish - Why let the truth get in the way of a good story.
