    And just so I haven't got my wires crossed. The documentary that's on tonight is different from 'The Ballymurphy Precedent' that was/is the cinema?

    Should be compulsory viewing for any * that wants to tell me what I should do on Nov 11th.

    Watch it and it doesn't change your view then fair enough. Watch it and it changes your view slightly but you still think everyone should observe the silence then fair enough. Don't watch it then try to lecture me on Nov 11th then ....jog on.

    It's very hard to make sense of their world after the daughter minds her mummy saying "don't worry, it's the loyalists who'll shoot ye but the army won't."

    Aye Ready, Taig, aim, fire :rip_1:

    After so many thousands of years trying to conquer that tiny island they brought themselves to their knees shooting innocent men, women and children.

    I knew the paras had been brought over from Belfast to 'teech' the Derry catholic youth a lesson and the paras were well aware of this. So as the documentary "Massacre at Ballymurphy" just showed the parras used children, women and priests waving white hankies as live target practice in Ballymurphy, one body being hit 14 times and these murderers were sent to Derry to 'teech' one of their lessons to a Civil Rights March. I've always viewed * Sunday as more to do with parras hatred of us being allowed to develop into a parra fantasy come true through lack of discipline the death toll rising, they lack a lot the paras but I'd be shocked if they lacked discipline, no what that documentary made clear was that the parras were sent to Deny to murder Civil Rights marchers and they carried out those orders with relish

    It's just unbelievably racist and I think quite common as the 'General's account of Kenya stated "we had to cause some unfortunate damage and anger amongst the natives but it was worth it in the long run."

    What kind of mind thinks that it's ok to write about another country as if he owned it?

    Will always remember that line in the only film I've ever seen a standing ovation for in the pictures, In The Name of The Father at Hammersmith Picadilly, everyone stood clapping at the end of the movie because it was like lifting a veil from the eyes placed over us by our self righteous media.

    The line the IRA guy says in the film, "The British have never left a country peacefully, they have been kicked out of every single one."

    It was quite a realisation because I had never thought of it before.

    Only watched so much of it. Had to turn it off. One of the saddest things ive ever watched. Dont mind admitting to having tears of sadness and rage especially the bits about shooting the priest then the mother of 8. A shower of despicable *. Hope the * are burning in * right now.
