Feel te love,

who exactly pissed in your porridge and why have a go at everybody here as if that does anything to assist in the removal of the British from the north.
A bit of constructive criticism wouldn’t go a miss but you seem content enough not only to slobber all over Davys piece but also condemn everybody here.
Only two good reasons for that sort of reaction either too much whiskey or not enough.

You should note the difference between being a pacifist and being pacified? The intellectual war was won hands down by the British now they are smart they seemed to have little problem convincing the PRM leadership to surrender and follow the victors to parliament. A very long detour on the road to a united Ireland not to be picky but I wouldn’t call anyone smart that followed the leadership (hindsight can be a terrible thing) only to end up more British than before.
That war is over so I don’t see the problem with people here bantering or arguing the toss remembering this or that.

Best a luck

Anthony,
I'm glad you didn't bin Feel te love's post. May have been missed.
Feel te love if I wrote about my experiences growing up in Ardoyne during the worst of the conflict you'd ask.."Frankie, do you really come from Ardoyne?".
Davy, keep posting. I enjoy reading your articles..

Kevin,

a striking cover image. Not sure I would want it if it were my child but the story has got to be told and Liz has always been great when it comes to getting it out there. I so admired her commitment and got to know her quite well.

Davy,

I have the book "They Shoot Children" by Liz Curtis which (I think) has a cover photograph of Carol Ann in her coffin. It is a gruesome and disturbing image and I keep it on a higher bookshelf so my younger child won't be exposed to it. I have shown it to my older child when making efforts to explain some aspects of the nature of conflict and how violence will always claim innocents and innocence.

Great Piece Davy, Nothing worse than kids seeing a dead body in a coffin.

Looking forward to your next piece.

Davy,

good piece. I considered throwing the trash above into the Bates & Wilkes Central bin, giving that it adds nothing to anything and makes no one any the wiser after reading it. But I let it through knowing you would treat it with the contempt most others do.
