1981 Hunger Strikes

I’ve just spent the last hour on You Tube looking at various hunger strike news footage.

Absolutely fascinating watching it now, hard going as well.

Ridiculouws really, I only looked up some Sean O’Riada to listen to while I was doing the washing up and I end up with this:

Spleh. My avatar is more interesting than any of that.

Hunger strikes are not cool.

Tan cunt

terence mcswiney does it- the ff & fg see it a noble act- bobby sands does it- they see it as suicide

Bobby was a terrorist so no-one gives a fook!

Er, no. And yes some of us do give a fuck.

I beleive some fans of The rangers fc club once eloquently said

Bobby sands is dead… So fuck him! Or something along those lines.

Think Adams used these lads really. Certainly had an impact I would argue as SF saw the power of constitutional nationalism but smearing shit on walls was a bit much imo.

The issue was a bit of a non issue too.

the issue was that people who fought to free the 6 were not criminals - it was a pretty big issue

No

The issue of wearing criminal uniforms was hardly worth dying for imo.

Clown.

The voice of reason has spoken.

Bobby Sands was not part of the terrorist organisation known as the IRA?

Was saying it was untrue that no one gives a fook.

Typical immigrant bar stool stool Republican glorifying these common criminals/terrorists.

What did they all die for anyway? War is long over and the British won.

the hunger strikers died because they refused to be classed as criminals- the fact that all IRA prisoners are now out of jail & in some cases in government suggest that achieved their goal.also the Provisional IRA came about in the late 60’s when nationalists were been burned out of their homes & lived with state inequality- the free state allowed this to happen, the IRA didnt-
