Yeah this for a start,"You could have pointed out that the strike was opposed by PIRA outside prison. They feared either a loss of credibility if it was not carried on to the bitter end, or massive losses if it was." Further more. I voted for Sinn Fein, does that make me something other than "an ordinary decent Nationalist", and if so, what exactly because I've always thought of myself as one. "I expect he wanted to remain alive and wanted the same for his loved ones." Speculation and damaging speculation at that, or is that what you were going for Keith? Why don't you read 10 men dead by David Beresford if you really do have an objective interest in this period of Irish history and then rejoin this debate.
