Nope- still can't get through an article without politicking to attack the wrong side. Larry "Mi5" Hughes just can't help himself.

great article - sadly places so much in context and how the British use tried and tested methods in covering up the truth. i haven't got an answer but a British government how can they be trusted anyway given their records to give a fair impartial inquiry? The allied powers that be at war in Iraq - Afghanistan - Libya - do not hold inquiries into the previous rulers of those countries they kill them - summary execution and extra-judicial murder so nobody can bring to light what are still colonial wars for transnational capital.
if it takes it a new generation will continue to campaign to free the truth of ballymurphy but please keep gerry out of it - truth not some warped nostalgic revisionist yarn as he appears to tell it now.

From Michael J Corr:

I totally agree that the people whom are relatives of those killed in the murph will not stop until the truth has been set free in ref to what happened to there loved ones. And in closing I will state that if I don't get the truth my kids will fight for it and so will their kids and so on. Remember the truth costs nothing but losing a loved 1 who was branded at an inquest a 'gunman' costs a lot to families who all know the real truth behind the brutal slaying of their mother, father, brother, sister, aunt, uncle, grandfather or grandmother.

Thank u..

Larry,

a well thought out piece. Thanks for taking the time and effort to put it together. Not only does it allow us to ponder Ballymurphy but it is a great piece in its own right regarding the Batang Kali massacre. Keep writing that type of stuff and it is certain to get a much wider readership. Quality stuff.

'Bring back Gerry to lead his people? God forbid!'

Loved that.

Yeagh I think public massacres are the one thing they have dispensed with here, for now. Maybe if SF become unable to straightjacket and suffocate physical force resstance in the future the Brits will reach for that weapon again. I do wonder also in regards to Adams was he possibly 'directed' south to give the Brits a free run at the Boston College tapes. Stranger things have happened.

Yeah a good post,there is not one of perfidious albion colonies where they have not committed at least one major atrocity.they have been the worlds leading experts in dirty deeds for so long now.if it was not for the advent of instant worldwide communication the death toll of people killed by the "security forces" here would have been far greater.as for justice we we were lucky to get an apology.

Larry.
That's an excellent piece, But sadly I can't see any public inquiry to anything that relates to willful murder in Republican/Nationalists areas by the British . Blood Sunday brought shame on those same forces, also on the British Government itself.
It is for that reason they will not have anymore public inquiries, just to save there own face's. Those of us who remember those days also remember the SAS atrocities, NO PRISONERS TO BE TAKEN was there motto, just riddle them with as many bullets as possible, also those who were unarmed, yet, mowed down in broad daylight, If things keep going the way they are at the moment, something will give, the people will not take anymore of the British forces harassment by the so called PSNI = RUC. It is common knowledge throughout the world the atrocities committed by by British Security forces, even in this modern day and age, Iraq/Afghanistan/Ireland.

Larry,
Fascinating stuff.
Basically the Brits done what they liked on a global scale and got away with it.
The words truth and justice have been diminished to the extent that, when you hear them you think what else is being covered up?
Bring back Gerry to lead his people? God forbid!
