The Ballymurphy Massacre

Anyone on here watched this?

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

There were 600 paras went in at one point.

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!

horsebox wrote: 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.

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! Mike Jackson who'd Id expect has immunity.

just finished watching it. general sir michael jackson my hole. what a prick!

Lads cop on.

Link doesn't work.

O'Doherty is cut from the same cloth as RDE, not as severe though.
