L’ulteriore ritardo nella presentazione della British Saville Report, l’inchiesta sulle attività omicide dell’esercito britannico a Derry durante la Bloody Sunday non è una sorpresa, ha spiegato una nota del Republican Sinn Féin.
“Nel corso degli anni gli inglesi sono sempre stati riluttanti ad ammettere la perniciosità del loro ruolo in Irlanda. Mentre il cancro del governo britannico continua, con l’aiuto e la complicità dei Provisionals, altri massacri di cittadini irlandesi restano possibili. E ‘ anche sorprendente sentire il Provisional Martin McGuinness aderire solo formalmente alla richiesta di verità espressa dalle famiglie delle vittime, visto che ha affermato che “una semplice manifestazione di scuse sarebbe stata sufficiente”. Ma i veri repubblicani chiedono un ritiro completo e definitivo britannici dall’Irlanda. Solo questo può aiutare a metterci alle spalle tragedie come la Bloody Sunday”.
A further delay in the release of the British Saville Report into the murderous activities of the British army in Derry City on Bloody Sunday comes as no surprise, a spokesman for Republican Sinn Féin has said.
“Throughout the years the Brits have always been reluctant to admit that their role in Ireland was malignant. Whilst the cancer of British rule continues, aided and abetted by the Provisionals, further massacres of Irish citizens remain possible. It is also unsurprising to hear that the Provos’ Martin McGuinness paid only lip-service to the families’ quest for the truth, stating that a simple apology would have been sufficient. True Republicans demand a full and final British withdrawal from Ireland. Only this can help to put tragedies such as Bloody Sunday behind us”.
Perhaps as most likely Martin McGuinness was there at the time directing IRA gunmen to “engineer” a massacre of innocents – a very real terrorist tactic throughout the world and learned from other international organisations. Any real in depth investigation would show the IRA up for what they are… callous murderers. But alas, the Irish (my ancestors as well) would create a myth of martyrdom….. I think the bigotry in NI is largely Scots/Irish rather than the one of English/Irish – Still many thousands of Irish live in Britain though… and what’s more… they don’t have to…they just like it here.

Hi mister tonanti216,
Welcome on my modest blog. History says that the IRA was born to defende irish people by loyalist militias and (english) police (and history says militias and RUC was colluded in “massacre of innocents” – according to your words… or an irish kid isn’t innocent?). First bombs were “loyalist bomb”: Dublin and Monaghan.
Following the IRA military strategy has evolved as a guerrilla. Guerrilla war, like war, unfortunately causes innocent victims.
I’m convinced that any life is a sacred life. But I am convinced too that the Emerald Isle is a unit geographically and should be a unit politically. So, I sympathize (politically) with those who want this unity.
And this doesn’t mean being anti-Scottish people or anti-English people. I really think the best solution is a nine-county Ulster parliament within a federation of the four provinces of a Ireland in which all sections and shades of opinion will be represented in proportion to their numbers.
Greetings, mister tonanti216, and sorry for my english: I’m able to translate, but I’m less able to write in your language.

I think your English is fine…. I just don’t agree with your assertion that the Irish without guilt of blame for the Terrorist war in Ireland. It is pointless to dwell on events that affected both English and Irish people under the heel of Oliver Cromwell and in a modern 20th Century world the IRA’s so called “armed struggle” was a crime. The British Army only ever went to Ireland in 1969 as a result of the rioting and they went to defend Catholics only to find that the IRA in true Marxist fashion turned the people against the defenders and then engineered it that the army would be attacking the very people they went to defend. If we, the English and the Irish are such enemies why are we so “inter-bred” and so many Irish part of our British/English society here in England. Think about it , look forward, move forward… Not back to King Billy!

Hi mister tonanti216,
glad to read you again.
I agree with you: look forward. But I think the colonialism isn’t belong to this century: there aren’t reasons for to carry on a brit rule in Ireland.
Greetings!!
PS: equation IRA=marxism is wrong. Official IRA and INLA are Marxist movement, Provos and Contos aren’t marxist.

Ah but the IRA are NOT Catholic… they follow Marxist principles and are NOT “blessed” by the Catholic Church. They are murderers no more, no less …. as are the Loyalist Gangs too. And it is NOT an Irish – English thing. The Northern Irish Protestants are Scottish by decent.. you do really need to understand the culture and history of the British Isles. There was NEVER any justification for an armed war against the authority if NI and the British people. NEVER NEVER NEVER.

…against the british people, I agree with you. And I agree: it isn’t a thing “Irish vs British”.
…against the UK autorithy in NI, voilà the reasons: H-Blocks, racist laws, RUC, Bloody Sunday II, collusions “RUC and loyalist militias”, hunger strikers, Carol Ann Kelly, John Brady…
“The Northern Irish Protestants are Scottish by decent”: ok, but if immigration changes the state borders, then today (or tomorrow) London should be a Pakistan or Morocco province, according this reasoning…
