Jimmy C I do not deny that you had to get yourselves noticed to get the rights that you so obviously deserve.
It's the methods that many Catholics have been persuaded by those wishing to take criminal advantage of the troubles have told them were necessary. I don't agree that all the killing was necessary, as killing is always unjustifiable, and I don't agree that you lacked a large amount of sympathy on mainland Britain.
Why did they never take their campaign of violence and intimidation down south, so that the Irish government might be prevailed upon to intercede on their behalf, they didn't seem to say much to support their fellow Catholics in the north that I heard of, and if they did they didn't say it loud enough.
I'm glad a new step has been made on the path to a united Ireland, and agree that it is long overdue.
As for investing in Manchester it's just as well someone has!
