Kev:
I think that for some, possibly as with Keith, it doesn't come up. As you say,it IS a subtle effect and one that I find comes out a surprising times. Day to day, it might not be a problem, however, like unconcious racism in the US, it can tip the ballence in one's political thinking, and that is when it becomes a problem.
Well, back to the origional idea of the thread. Which, all this even music creep is not really off the mark, as Tony is planing to have commemorations include music, of course, and knowing Tony, he is interested in the commemorations sparking discussions of why his brother and the others gave their lives... If there are questions about the purpose of the commemorations, I will pass them on to Tony. I know one of the outcomes hoped for, is a permanant memorial to the memory of the ten young men who died on the 81 Hunger Strike.
All the best
