Bloody Sunday, 50 years on.

It was a war and like all wars innocent people get killed or an atrocity that British soldiers should be tried for?

Why do we not have these emotional documentaries about say the Warrington bombings or is that not PC enough Just to remind you, the troops were sent in by Harold Wilson to protect innocents from sectarian violence, which was rife at the time, and soon became the targets of the IRA crime sindicate. The victims here were British soldiers murdered by the republican mafia.

You can't have a passive genocide, you cock.
It wasn't 'millions', it was a million. The population wasn't halved, it fell by 20-25%, mostly due to emigration. These facts are bad enough, why embellish them? Certainly there was callousness and criminal stupidity on the British side
Your interpretation also absolves from guilt the rich Irish farmers who exported grain which could have fed the people.

Is Rhodesia/Zimbabwe a good model upon which to base a "united Ireland"
What even defines "a country"?
If it's (just) a piece of land surrounded by (sea) water then mainland Europe, Africa and the Americas have far too many countries and New Zealand & the UK too few.

Millions were starving in Ireland and the British parliament left them to die when they had the responsibility and means to do something about it. It's more passive than actually killing people but just as effective. The population of Ireland was halved and still hasn't recovered. The quote below is from the parliament.uk website in case you think I'm using Irish sources.
Public works projects achieved little, while Sir Charles Trevelyan, who was in charge of the relief effort, limited government aid on the basis of laissez-faire principles and an evangelical belief that “the judgement of God sent the calamity to teach the Irish a lesson”.

Took the english coin because he didn't want to or couldn't earn a crust in the celtic tiger, then wants to spit on the graves of our soldiers.

Also, are you saying that the English only got involved in 1969? I’m pretty sure they had plenty of involvement before that.

By describing the Great Famine as 'genocide' you show your true colours. It was a lot of things, but genocide it wasn't.

I rest my case because your question comes from a position of knowing nothing of 800 years of British colonisation and systematic attempts to destroy our language, culture, religion and people - Google Scottish plantations, Cromwell in Ireland, Catholic Emancipation, the Famine (genocide of millions), partition just for starters and then see if you can figure why you get the blame. Then ask yourself why none of this is ever taught I'm English schools.

Rescind the letters of comfort, then lets talk about it.
Or issue letters of comfort to all the brave british soldiers who served there, including members of my family.

Was the Northern Irish conflict leading to a genocide of another religions presence from the Isles? I’m trying to fathom why we went in let alone still get the blame for it all.
