Thread Name: Bloody Sunday - Bloody Disgrace?
Subject: RE: Bloody Sunday - Bloody Disgrace?
Jimmy C, my parents were Irish catholics and staunch believers in a United Ireland. They were active trade union members and believed in the 'rights of man'. I remember the day in question and attended with my parents many marches and mass meetings in England in protest at the slaughter of these poor people. When the British Embassy in Dublin was attacked and burnt out this was seen as enough justice had been served upon the Brits. The real people who matters outcome was that these Civil Right marchers were shot dead by British soldiers on the streets of Derry. Anybody who is bothered about the causes of conflict in N Ireland knows it. It is no use trying to ram this down the throats of the English in England. For everyone of those innocent CR marchers shot dead the English can bring out fifty innocents killed here by the IRA/INLA. This enquiry is doing nothing but opening up wounds that should have been left well alone.

Will there be a film relating to the 11 soldiers blown up at Warren Point?
