Anyone on here watched this?
Horrendous but not surprising.

Yep. Time for an inquiry, but can't see the British Government having one |

Great show. Tough watch though. Mad to think they did the exact same thing on Bloody Sunday just a few months later. Inquests are being carried out soon so hopefully this might add a bit of pressure, although I am sure the British Government propped up by DUP will do everything in the power to resist an inquiry. The Ballymurphy Precedent is also out in the cinema at the moment detailing the cover up afterwards and the families search for justice, when those murdered were all painted as IRA gunmen. Going to see it tomorrow |

I was listening to the son of one of the victims on a documentary, he was saying he only found out his dad had been killed when a group of British soldier's drove by in a jeep chanting "where's your daddy gone?" before one soldier stood down and shouted "your daddy's dead, I killed your daddy." Something along those lines, wild altogether

Its essential viewing Eye opening, heartbreaking and unbelievable The response to this programme on social media has been very positive Hundreds of English openly admitting they had never even heard of the atrocity A lot saying they now completely understand why McClean doesn't wear his poppy - which is OK I suppose but them seeing/reading about bloody Sunday wasn't enough !!

A lot of English people don't really understand Bloody Sunday either, especially the type of lads who hate McClean. This is why the annual poppy fascism is so important to cut out, it is used as an opportunity to launder history while saying the money goes to kids injured in the British Government's care and employment. It is f**king mental! ------------- Greed has won, big finance has won. Whatever small role elite clubs still play in the local communities from which they grew is dwarfed now by their position as global brands. |

Nothing more than a witch hunt according to the British Army. Here's the thing, this is a classic case of Unionists telling us that SF are looking to re-write history. This massacre has nothing to do with SF, and is bring driven by the families of the victims. The more you deep dive into a lot of these killings, the more state collusion you find. ------------- It was far across the sea, When the devil got a hold of me, He wouldn't set me free, So he kept me soul for ransom. na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na.

The British Army are portrayed as heros in the UK. So in theory they should weed these people out, throw them under the bus, and call them a bad uns who acted alone. Unfortunately, the person with the most blood on his hands is the former chief of staff!

Good discussion from the Nolan show about the program. http://https://audioboom.com/posts/7003215-massacre-at-ballymurphy-malodoherty-says-documentary-doesn-t-tell-the-whole-story-of-what-happened-in-west-belfast-in-1971" rel="nofollow - http://https://audioboom.com/posts/7003215-massacre-at-ballymurphy-malodoherty-says-documentary-doesn-t-tell-the-whole-story-of-what-happened-in-west-belfast-in-1971

Link doesn't work.
