Thread Name: BS: Death of Richard McIlkenny
Subject: RE: BS: Death of Richard McIlkenny
The death of Richard McIkenny who spent 16 years in various English jails should bring home to the British government that it may be too late to offer an apology to each of the remaining men or do they wait until these victims of British justice pass away like Richard.

In the early 1970s it was a case of ,`any Paddy will do`, the Guilford 4 and the Maguire family were also the victims of this scenario, not only were they wrongly imprisoned but had to stand the vicious treatment meted out by racists members of the Police and the prison wardens.

Despite all of the verdicts being overturned some members of the British establishment still take the lead from that `learned` Judge who advised eveyone "that an apalling vista would arise shoul we set these people free". Evil personified.
