as afaras i can see there has never been any forensic evidence of any one , ira or not firing at the paras. no bullets that are not military issues nothing.

the evidence seems to be the testimony of the paras who perjured themselves before the wiggery commission.

i remember seeing interviews on a documentary a few years ago with the paras who refused to perjurre themselves before the wiggery commission and were thus ship out to hing king(or some such place far asway) and they--three of them said there were no shots from anyone but paras.

unless i read otherwise i find it hard to believe the saville report it anything but a partial white wash to replace the total stich up. but at least there is finally admission of wrong doing.

as too racist remarks on mudcat i won't spend the time going to thread after thread. but there was a discussion of the boy scouts and a couple of anglos accused those who saw the boy scouts as part of imperialist propaganda of being pira. then on a bloddy sunday discussion the same occured. (i'm just repeating recent stuff)

on a canadian political discussion a guy called me a slur for useing a gaelic word as my name tag.

on another list a guy gratutiuosly attacked acadiens(they are mostly breton and accepted as celt at the world celt conferences).we adadiens were ethniclly cleansed by the british. remember evangeline--its based on a true story. they rounded up about half of us with no notice and no possetions and split families and shipped us the the far corners of the world(lousianna to st malo france). the guy slured that we were abusing the idians so deserved it . hello we got along with the natives. they recall us as the friends who didn't want all the land, traded european and agricultural goods they didn't have and freely intermarried.

there are a few others.

but the big two to me are the ignorance of le grand derangement(as we call it)

and the repeated assumption that because one opposses the violence and injustice of the british empire past and present you must be a terrorists.

well i've got new for you, we victums of imperial violence and injustice have a very different opinion of who were terrorists.

and yes the british army on bloody sunday came to kill because they also saw no difference between peacrefull position to injustice and terrorists, and thats; racism, hard and cold as it comes
