35 years later another outcome is officially desired for contemporary reasons and sure enough an official steps forward with the required story. They told Widgery what he wanted to hear before and now they tell the people what Blair wants to hear now, for contemporary political reasons (for the purposes of détente). We should be oh so grateful that a british enquiry drops a few crumbs to us 35 years later about having blown a load of people away. And no doubt there will be many Irish who will receive this gratefully and who will involve themselves in this game with hushed mutterings of thanks.

Why do we care about a british tribunal into british killings set-up for patently political reasons at the present time just as Widgery was set-up in its time for its reasons? They can keep their platitudes and blow it out their hole. Let them piss off back to Britain, then maybe we'll have an interest in hearing their cynically strategic 'mea culpas', if they're prepared to give them when no further strategy is required.

The VERY VERY sad bit is that a massive number of Irish people will only accept the innocence of the victims when it has a stamp of approval from THEIR British masters, much in the same way that they swallowed the story of "Gunbattles" in William and Rosville Streets.

Jackson is retired and was only expressing an opinion, and he didn’t say how many of the rioters were innocent.

Rubbish - people who throw rocks and bottles at people are not innocent.
