Bernadette and Martina

Indeed, brainwashed idiots who thought the general populace gave a fig about their ideals.
great way to end for sure

i take it you wont be watching then,
so you will never know why or how they developed the political views

then you would be able to knock their opinions from a logical position, instead of pointing and calling names

You have a point there poster, I have to concede that.

When is it on, and maybe I should watch it as you said.

Pity their wasn't a few more people like Devlin in NI in the late 60's and 70's. The people needed her and she stood up to be counted. Great woman.

It has been a rough period for a lot of people. No doubt the usual middle class Fine Gael yahoos will be on soon to talk about terrorists etc. (whilst at the same time applauding uprisings in the middle east).

The fact is that 40 years ago Ireland was a different country. The mindset and the trials of those days simply can't be understood by the likes of Lucinda.

I saw that young McGlinchey is calling for an investigation into his mother's murder years ago in front of him when he was a child. His other brother witnessed his father's killing, and his sister died when she was a year and a half old from menningitis. Frankly, that is more grief than a family, or indeed a person, can bear.

No doubt, some will blame all this on republicans. It wasn't republicans who partitioned the country, denied votes to catholics, batoned civil rights marchers off the streets or discrimininated in terms of jobs or housing.

But...we are at peace now. I am thankful for that, but I am long in the tooth enough to know that it may well kick off again, most likely because of overconfidence on behalf of those who don't understand the issues in the first place.

The IRA weren't fighting for civil rights - for example, they killed Catholic judges who had put Paisley in jail (imagine a black "civil rights" movement in Alabama that killed black judges who had imprisoned KKK leaders).

Yes! Thank you for asking. My fervent hope of reading salacious revelations about Mlle Soubirous and Ms Navratilova was cruelly dashed. What a (lazy) tease of a thread title...
