Subject: RE: Hungerstrike commemerations...
Remember when you ask that we understand your hummor, that a few of us on Mudcat knew young men who died on hunger strike, and these posts are also read by several people who lost immidiate family on the 1981 hunger strike. There are no situations where humor about the death of a family member is funny. As much as I abhore the memory of Pat Campbell, the organiser and chief goon of the Shankill Butchers, I would not joke about his death. One may wonder at this in light of what I said about the death of Beckworth. That was not joke.
