“…violence as a cheery caper”
Ann Marie Hourihane reviews the Breakout programme. She concludes that:
“But viewers of Breakout were left asking if there is no spectacle the Protestant people of Northern Ireland will not have to endure to make republicans feel better about themselves. Is there no victory dance, be it ever so puerile, that they are not going to be forced to witness? There’s a real danger that the IRA is going to bore the rest of us to death. But even Free Staters know the name of one person murdered by the IRA. Watching Breakout, that name kept on reverberating through the twinkling orgy of machismo: Jean McConville. Jean McConville. Jean McConville.”
Weere the Boers not our cousins ..again?
“It didn’t help that the Boers raided the supply trains of course.”
Yes, lets blame the Boers for it!
“was it a British policy or carried out by Individuals?”-all policies are carried out by individuals!!!!and at nurembourg it was established that those who formulate the policy are as guilty as those that implement it.
Democratic, so you’re not a pacifist?
Just checking
