Getting back to the thread. The VAST majority of Brits strongly opposed any apologies to the IRA or their supporters. There is absolutely no comparision between local history and that of Ireland. The troops were fired on during a demonstration by the IRA and some inexperienced Para's panicked and fired among the crowd.The IRA took the chance of firing at the troops behind civillians backs.The families of these troops supported them
Moral of the story to this day is still 'Dont stuff around with the spearhead Battalions'
Perhaps Israel will apologise some day for attacking peace ships ? lol
