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?

Re: Bloody Sunday, 50 years on.

There was a great programme on Radio 4 a couple of weeks ago that interviewed people on all sides (The RM, protesters and IRA) and all were of one voice that it was a tragic mistake. The command of the RM operation was terrible with the foot soldiers being giving incorrect information by their officers and terrible communications.
The two conclusions drawn by all involved were that all the shots were fired by the Marines and that it was the single best recruiting sergeant for the then, nascent, Provisional IRA.

What a great song. It really encapsulates the frustration of a Sunday, doesn't it? You wake up in the morning, you've got to read all the Sunday papers, the kids are running round, you've got to mow the lawn, wash the car, and you think "Sunday, bloody Sunday!".

zeb, are you sure it was the Royal Marines, I think it was the Paras?

Re: Bloody Sunday, 50 years on.

Yep, I was wrong. It was the paras

The interview with the RSM on the day was very emotional - he obviously regretted what happened deeply for all sort of reasons. The big mistake was their CO informing the unit that shots had been fired at the troops when it was a unit in another street firing warning shots over the protesters.

Re: Bloody Sunday, 50 years on.

Corbyn came out yesterday and said British soldiers should be prosecuted, no mention of IRA terrorists being prosecuted for the things they did.

I shudder to think what would have happened if he had got into power, I mean Johnson is a shit show but he has never been a terrorist sympathiser.

Re: Bloody Sunday, 50 years on.

How does an Irishman living in Ireland defending his country against an invading force get classified as a terrorist?

Any attacks by the IRA on non state targets in Britain can be considered fairly as criminal acts, but anyone defending their own country from an occupying army are simply doing their God giving duty for their their kith and kin and homeland.

If Corbyn was legitimate opposition to the status quo and won, being a true dyed in the wool communist then there wouldn't have been much play along with the corporate Industrial Medical Complex takeover using the excuse of a cold that we've seen and we'd have properly left the EU if Jezza had anything to do with it.

Then again the communist YKWs made sure he wouldn't win, so we got globalist commie tyranny wearing a Blue hat instead.

If that doesn't make an authentic conservative shudder, then just wait what commie green agenda the neo-liberal Tories will be enforcing over the coming years.

I apologise.

I didnt realise kidnapping and murdering innocent mothers and burying their bodies in bogs was a legitimate tactic.

Silly me.

Re: Bloody Sunday, 50 years on.

If I invaded my neighbours violently with force and they caught me and tied me up and gave out their own justice, I'd be in no position to complain.

I have zero affection for the IRA, but there comes a point where you have to say, if the occupying invading forces weren't there, there'd be no reason for a single Irishman to take up arms against their hostile invaders.

A widowed mother of 10 children.

A 55 year old father of 5.

Fair game according to you.

Re: Bloody Sunday, 50 years on.

I don't do emotional blackmail.

I've not offered a single opinion on these people, only you have, I was talking about natives defending their homeland from occupying invaders.

The invaders are always the bad guys, no matter what it says on state broadcast television.

What Boris has done to a large proportion of the British public is tantamount to treason . He's got a way with more than Corbyn would off ever done. Yet you still support him.
Pathetic

Re: Bloody Sunday, 50 years on.

One of the very early false flag operations.

The IRA opened fire on British troops. They returned fire at the IRA. The IRA then fired on the crowd, using British Army calibre weapons, to discredit the British Army.
