Bloody Sunday on 12:46 - Jan 30 with 1650 views | westisbest | Blair gave an amnesty to 300 IRA members including killers. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. What would be the point in prosecuting 70 / 80 year old ex servicemen now. | | | |

And it is disgusting that people like you voted in a psychopath to lead the country into an illegal war, which killed hundreds of thousands of men, women and children. [Post edited 30 Jan 2022 13:47]

They did act in a professional manner. These were elite British infantry soldiers. You shoot at them and they will respond in the way they are trained too. [Post edited 30 Jan 2022 14:02]

Bloody Sunday on 15:16 - Jan 30 with 1517 views | magicdaps10 | It's a crazy one. It seems the British army have come out of all the troubles in Ireland 100 time worse than the IRA. There is still a lot of resentment and hate towards the British in quarters of Ireland still. My wife hails from Donegal, been over there more than most as you could imagine, even got married there......can tell you this, they won't let go of the past and no way will they admit that their own had as much to blame for went on. All in the name of religion, really!? | |

A backward mentality with some over there. The British don’t hate the Germans because of the world wars do they. It’s time for those with that backward mentality to grow up. | |

Bloody Sunday on 15:44 - Jan 30 with 1485 views | Kilkennyjack | Watch this. This was murder. Nothing justifies it. 8 of the 14 were under 20 years of age. The uk government never recognised the Troubles as a war, so the police should have investigated these murders at the time. Justice had to be done, you cant cover up such actions. | |

Who would have thought that starving one million people to death, and starving another one million people so that they fled the country would have caused any animosity at all …. To say nothing of the executions of the leaders of 1916. | |

The Irish sentiment towards the English was formed a lot further back thanthe1940's or even 1922 (when the IRA formed) and back even further than the potato famine. it stretches all the way back to the 16th Century, to Elisabeth I and Robert Devereux, to Lord Deputy Mountjoy, Oliver Cromwell and slavery. The behaviour of the English overlords in Ireland has left a deeply ingrained hate. | |

Correct Jim. British crown forces should never have been put in that position. It should have been policed. | |

I don't condone what happened but there is certainly a bigger picture than what we know. As for the ages, there were most certainly teenagers being allowed to run a muck so I am not surprised that so many young lost their lives needlessly. I don't condone any of it but mentalities have to change as shown by some of the posts on here. The army and those who controlled things need to be accounted for AS do those IRA members who were willing to go to the levels they did and allowed young kids to join their fight of terrorism. All I am saying is, it was a 2 way street and minds have to realise this or the hatred just continues all these years later. | |

The Germans targeted men, women and children with their carpet bombing of British cities in WW2, but now less than 80 years later, both sets of populations do not hate each other. They must put something in the water in Southern Ireland | |

They were not highly trained soldiers that was the point . They had no training at all in anti terrorism or even policing protests marches. They were sent there to try and stop tye Protestant and Catholic communities butchering each other. The result was a terrible tradegy. By far the largest group killed in the troubles were , civilians, then the army/police the smallest group killed were the terrorist. 3500 dead 47,600 injured. | |
