What we got was British Justice

[pogo]

300 deaths in the longest ever military campaign by the British Army. 57,470 British casualties alone on the first Day of the Battle of the Somme. Over 1,100,00 died on all side in the Somme. Do the comparisons yourself.

I like to compare it with the Warsaw uprising.

Warsaw had a similar population to present day N.I..

Over some 40 days half a million were killed, 1/3 of the population, more every single day than in the entire 30 years of Operation Banner.

German tactics included tying women to the fronts of tanks to act as human shields.

Warsaw was 93% destroyed by the end of the war.

All in all, apart from in the imagination of fantasists, Operation Banner was a pretty insignificant conflict.

"I like to compare it with the Warsaw uprising."

If that's the case, I recommend urgent professional assistance.

If you think the British army only killed 300 people during the Troubles then you're more deluded than RTE and the BBC put together. The British controlled loyalist death squads. The true scale of their murderous activities will never be known, but there's precious little that the UDA and UVF did that wasn't either facilitated or condoned by the British government through its military agents in the North. And that, my friend, is the awful truth that even now some people refuse to acknowledge.

Perhaps they don't acknowledge it because it isn't true.

It isn't true that British agents colluded with loyalist killers. Don't take my word for it, ask that dyed-in-the-wool republican Lord Stevens.[/quote:361x47ja]

Did Lord Stevens state: there's precious little that the UDA and UVF did that wasn't facilitated by the British government?

Perhaps you could find a link for this.

Catch yourself on.
I'll give you plenty of links on people the british have killed if you like, infact i could spend months coming up with lists on line, from all over the globe in every century for the last 600 years, all of which will be either denied by yourself or you will fail to see any wrong doing.
Whats the point?

Why not?

There's plenty on this site, including cerebral st333ve, who like to make Nazi comparisons.

[st333ve]

Who were you comparing the nazi's to?

No doubt you could, but what has this got to do with Operation Banner 1969-2007?

[st333ve]

About as much as your silly world war remarks.

I was making that point that as far as conflicts go, the death toll in Operation Banner was very small indeed.
