One thing i know from these times is that so many wrong doings were committed or allowed to be committed, one thing a lot of people dont pick up on is the peace deal between the two groups inside the jail, if those people, people who would kill each other on the outside, can call some form of truce, its proof that they arent that far apart, proof they can co exist, proof that in times of need they can call on each other as they did inside, i know alot of stuff went on that wasnt peaceful but society itself is the same way. Its high time everyone moved on a tried to build a better society for our children, what is all this for if our children cant grow old and lead happy free lives.

I served two tours in NI in mid 80,s on the border mainly checkpoints. Most of the people were ok with you except the hard line republicans who we knew anyway. I was a protestant by birth but not religious in any way. I could never understand how they could kill their own countrymen in cold blood just because of different religious and political beliefs. 30 years down the line things have calmed down a lot but youll still get sectarian beatings etc. You have to respect them for their beliefs but not in the way they carried them out.
@DAZN Europe the politics didn,t come into it nor the religion . We were told in NI training about all that but at the end of the day as soldiers just wanted to come home in one piece. As a soldier you follow orders regardless but try to be impartial. It just so happens that the main protagonists were republicans in the areas I served in. Now looking back 30 years later I do have a certain respect for some of them who were fighting for a just cause as they saw it for their countrymen. Peace has been restored after the good Friday agreement so that's a good thing and if it was up to me I would allow a vote in NI for a united Ireland. The problem there is the loyalists would take up arms if the vote went the other way. Its a catch 22.

@@rossdocherty3266 yes it was a horrible place to live in I imagine . From a soldiers point of view it was just a posting that carried risks. Thankfully we didn't lose any men in 2 tours . The divisions in that country are deep rooted going back to the battle of the Boyne and king Billy. I hate all religions and can never understand how people kill each other over it.
I can’t help to feel that they were helped to escape. Note prison staff waterworth say the chisels supplies by prison office. Same story when McWilliams was able to shoot dead billy Wright inside the maze prison.
Its a bloody shame. Both sides accept Christ as their Savior. Went to Belfast for EOD training in 1993 with the British Army. They were twits, who as usual thought they were so culturally superior to us Americans, thought and treated the Irish Catholics like total shite; but treated the Prot-Irish almost as equals, though they were all from the same place. It changed my thoughts about British and how devious they could be. I witnessed terrible beatings of "suspects". This is why its against the law to use Military Troops as Police in the USA.
Nobody can say anything , is that it? That's right, A proud soldier, that wouldn't never turn a rifle on a unarmed child. A soldier or Cop that puts a mask on to murder kids are lower than the low. Murdering the people next door. I have no problem if the other guy has a gun, but that's not who was targeted, right mate? No need for a fair fight when you can shoot a pensioner having a pint. Never mind if you kill your own in the process. I had EOD training in Belfast in 1993 with the British Army and saw with my own eyes that if the Unionists didn't have the backing of the cops and soldiers you'd be screwed. I laugh now that for all the bullshit, the Provos will get what they want. England leaving the EU. The North wants to stay with the EU along with the Republic. Good luck with that. The counties aren't worth keeping anymore. From Boston am Proud to have supported the IRA. Still Do. They are always welcomed here, and I'm not even Irish. Better get an Irish passport.
Unionist vermin that worship a German whore Queen "Saxe Coburg Gotha" and praise their Dutch hero "King William of Orange" that slaughtered Scots folk.. oh how very British... fuckin scumbags the lot....
I can comment on what I observed myself. I condemn the IRA for bombings and for turning to Libya for assistance, but they turned to anybody that would help them. The Crown should have never used the military to police civilians. As a Catholic, I felt the hate that some of the soldiers had for me; and I served with some of the very same men in Iraq only two years before. The British Army treated the Iraqi children better than the Irish-Catholic kids.
Rick Raven Rumney, you have the cheek to talk about British soldiers in Northern Ireland shooting people, what about U.S troops Mai Lai village in March 1968 shooting dead 300 innocent Vietnamese civilians and you support the IRA. Do you support the Boston bombers or Osama Bin Laden.

Not sure why people see him as a hero. He didn't starve himself for a free Ireland. He misbehaved badly in prison, and was punished for that. He started starving himself to get his creature comforts back. Maggie was smarter than he was as she outlasted him and all the fools behind him staging their their own slow suicides for publicity.
Bonnie Akridge Anyone using hunger strike does so as a last resort. If those men had been British you would be calling them brave hero's. In the end They got all their demands! So who won?? The republican POWs. Also received a De facto Amnesty. As for Mr Dessie Watermouth he was one of the brutal guards so much so that his own loyalist community tried to kill him. He went beyond the meaning of a guard.

You really are a hateful individual with no hope or benefit to society, god forbid any of your family have to starve themselves to death, i shall be there to point out the publicity stunt it is.
UVF and UDA killers of innocent Catholics. Even Peter Taylor, the top commentator of Northern Ireland conflict, stated the loyalists went after innocent civilians unlike the IRA, which didn't deliberately kill innocent people

The British Army treated the Iraqi children better than the Irish-Catholic kids.
Rick Raven Rumney, you have the cheek to talk about British soldiers in Northern Ireland shooting people, what about U.S troops Mai Lai village in March 1968 shooting dead 300 innocent Vietnamese civilians and you support the IRA. Do you support the Boston bombers or Osama Bin Laden.
R. I. P 🇮🇪 to all young soldiers.

Even animals don't play with their own excrement. But these 'so-called men' did. Disgusting.
Dogs and many other animals eat and play with shit, so you're wrong
Yet the “loyalists” still fear the 10 Brave Men 🇮🇪
Up most respect for these martyrs
ONE LOVE ONE IRELAND X Tiocfaidh ar la x miss u da x Monaghan x Mel x up the ra x R.i.p to those hero's x Erin go Bragh x x
The british went to germany in 1945 , and took the germans tactics back with them. And then they have the gawl go celebrate defeating Germany every year when all they done was take over from them. They are doing the same in the middle east today. Ive seen this screw in this in a few videos , and he still to this day seems to love what he done , that takes a very special sadistic type of human , and im afraid thats a microcosim of loyalism
Bobby Sands is dying hahahaaaaa
What the fuck is wrong with you?
liam neeson?
One united Ireland again please
The South couldn't afford to win the Eurovision Song Contest let alone take on Northern Ireland.
To be honest the Erie government have no interest in taking back the north , weather we like it or not it just one big headache for them no to mention a bottomless money Pitt
Liam neesen
32 TAL
Not sure why people see him as a hero. He didn't starve himself for a free Ireland. He misbehaved badly in prison, and was punished for that. He started starving himself to get his creature comforts back. Maggie was smarter than he was as she outlasted him and all the fools behind him staging their their own slow suicides for publicity.
Bonnie Akridge, Fuck off you.
Bonnie Akridge Anyone using hunger strike does so as a last resort. If those men had been British you would be calling them brave hero's. In the end They got all their demands! So who won?? The republican POWs. Also received a De facto Amnesty. As for Mr Dessie Watermouth he was one of the brutal guards so much so that his own loyalist community tried to kill him. He went beyond the meaning of a guard.
Bonnie Akridge a man cant be a terroist in his own country he's a Freedom Fighter a patriot !
The Brits and Loyalists are the real terrrorists. FTQ!
Said by a clueless cow sitting in the comfort of her home, shall we place you in the same conditions and see what "publicity stunts" you pull. You really are a hateful individual with no hope or benefit to society, god forbid any of your family have to starve themselves to death, i shall be there to point out the publicity stunt it is.
Would you like a chicken supper bobby sands
Ajay Anderson sad boy
I always have a wee gaire to meself when I think about Jamie 'Biriyani' Bryson's hunger strike.
Would you get a brain
fuck you ajay Anderson you uneducated sectarian rat...the republican movement were light years ahead of loyalists.
I think he'd want some Taiwanese ranch style jumbo fish burgers

UVF and UDA killers of innocent Catholics. Even Peter Taylor, the top commentator of Northern Ireland conflict, stated the loyalists went after innocent civilians unlike the IRA, which didn't deliberately kill innocent people
so a bomb in a high street wasnt aimed at innocent people?
dear Brits...why are you even in Ireland in the first place? My Irish cousins don't want you there. Go back home and get beheaded by your local Imam.
surname blow is as english as can be.... learn your heritage dam fool
