Belfast 400: People, Place and History (Sean Connolly, editor)
Tweet Ten days ago I finished reading Belfast 400: People, Place and History, a book published to mark the four hundredth anniversary of the city’s charter. In the light of last week’s reawakened community tensions and violence, it is interesting to look back at the roots of the city and its journey into the twenty [...] read our review »

Review: To Kill a Mockingbird
Tweet Somehow I escaped reading this essential school text, with its story of racism in 1930s American South. Living in Northern Ireland, I draw parallels with sectarianism, with its similar bigotry and prejudice. To Kill a Mockingbird was part of a Unite Against Hate campaign event at Parliament Buildings in Northern Ireland, which I’ve [...] read our review »

Rusty clearly states-
” and the British,unaware he had died,were in discussions untill 5:30am,and did not hear of his death immediatelly;it was a number of hours before they knew “-
So we are now being told that the prison governer-the prison guards-the doctors and NIO who were in the H-Block hospital wing that morning that Volunteer Joe McDonnell died never told london that another of the Hunger-Strikers had died for a number of hours-you could not make this up-well Rusty tried-but failed to-

on 14 May 2013 at 1:45 am
The evening of 5th July 1981 is the momment when a offer was supposed to have been made by the brits-but the ICJP Commisoners who were in the H-Block wing that evening were not told of a offer themselves and they were talking with the brits the most-there is no proof in these claims-yet there is proof that the ICJP were never told of an offer by the brits on that date-the truth always wins-
In part two of this four parter Rusty claims that Sinn Fein were the SS- more wit in a brit-

on 12 March 2013 at 10:28 am
So there are 3 dissidents among the 100 per cent United Kingdom islanders-the talking behind backs and the finger pointing behind curtains will already have started-the near all vote will not be good enough for some-expect trouble in the bars over this-
