I condemn every life lost here, down the years, through the total bankruptcy of all the British governments that have administered here. May I add the same Government also completely ignored, from 1922 until 1969, a totally corrupt Unionist clique to carry on with policies against the minority nationalists.
This same Unionist administration was the envy of the then South African
apartheid government, and you say that had the nationalists set back and let this same parcel of bigots continue, everything by now would have been peaceful and fair.

Yes, I know you are a republican with a small r, and I as a singer make Pavarotti sound like Rod Stewart.
