there’s a lot of blood shed on all sides which can be remembered with bitterness and revenge.
I’m old enough to remember the start of the Troubles, back in 68-9, when the IRA’s main campaign was a small bunch of old hands who gathered for drink nights to sing the old songs and remember past times. It was Ian Paisley’s bunch, together with the armed para-military police thugs known as the B Specials (disbanded at the end of 69 by Britian’s then Labour governemnt, too late) who turned violently on unarmed civil rights protestors demanding equal votes and an end to discrimination which led to the rioting, and thence to British army involvement, and thence to a sickening cycle of violence and counter-violence.
It began with B Special armoured cars shooting up flats in Belfast which killed a young kid in his room. IRA-I Ran Away – was the taunt in belfast at that time, apparently, and led to the split which gave birth to the Provos. Internment and sectarian rioting in August 71 gave the Provos their support.
Death has visited every side and none. The British army have been as guilty of death as the para military forces – the uninvestigated Ballymurphy massacre of Aug 1971, Bloody Sunday, the murder of the civil rights lawyer, Pat Finucane are among the more specatcular events.
I could list IRA atrocities, and Protestant atrocies too (the Shankill Butchers spring to mind). I list the above because only IRA violence has been listed by posters.
At Bloody Sunday protests back in 72, one of my friends was beaten to the ground by a squaddie on leave – she was heavily pregnant. The squaddie just didn’t realise – he was genuinely stricken with remorse when he realised what he’d done, but he was so angry that he genuinely saw red.
That anger, along with the removal of the threat of sudden death from a bomb attack anywhere, is why I breathe a long sigh of relief., even now.
A friend of mine once told me how she rushed to the scene of a bomb attack in Belfast back in 72, when it got real bad. The sickening stench of blood, the white faces, the shock, the little laddie calling for his mummy coz he had no legs any more.
I look at McGuinnness and Paisley working together, the Quenn shaking hands with McGuinness, and I think was this what all that suffering was meant to bring about – a nice government job??
But I am also mighty, mighty relieved.
Time to put anger aside and grieve.
A highly emotive post scept, this whole thread is good with some great input from many sides, i don’t really have enough knowledge on the subject to comment any more than you’s all have done already, but just reading has been enlightening. ty

This works for me…………wotshisname, the hypnotist, says, close your eyes, imagine you are in an auditorium and the curtains are closed, the lights go out, and the then the curtains open, concentrate at the first thing that you see – I bet you fall asleep!
