Mick, back in those days lots of bad things went on.
Why look back?
Those days are gone.
I have to tell you that the British still take no interest in any of your steeples.

Jim, your four days of rioting started before any march.
You can not blame the parades for it.
The rioters were not locals opposed to a march.
They were outside dissidents opposed to the peace process, and the local children they enlisted for cover.

The partition was not created under threat of invasion.
Britain did not want the North then, anymore than now.
The North would not accept Union without a fight.
The British army refused to fight them, and the new state had not the muscle to.
