Decision upheld not to prosecute soldiers in NI 13:03 - Sep 29 with 6548 viewsonehunglow

Sense at last.

Court of Appeal upholds the decision not to prosecute soldiers for "bloody Sunday".

God only knows how those soldiers have suffered under this cloud for almost 50 years.

A filthy ,dirty war where they were hung out to dry by a succession of British Governments.

That day is of course now folklore in Londonderry and the IRA supporters are of course livid with the decision.

I didn't realise folklore was indeed fact , maybe Robin Hood did exist

"Madoc, also spelled Madog, ab Owain Gwynedd was, according to folklore, a Welsh prince who sailed to America in 1170, over three hundred years before Christopher Columbus's voyage in 1492."

Elizabeth 1st tried to claim America on the back of Prince Madoc being there, daughters of the revolution put a plaque up (Roosevelt and Bush and the girls).

America ,as we know it,was stolen from the native americans so any link with the way they were mullered by all other people's is nothing to be proud about.

An why are we so concerned about events 500 years ago .

The USA, the Welsh discovered that 300 years before Columbas did.


I think you’ll find Jesus Christ discovered it. The Mormons said so.

By “sailed to America” I assume it means his coracle got caught in a rip tide?

He did but that’s exactly what you’d expect him to say.

I saw him speak back in the ‘80s and he was excellent, brilliant even. I didn’t and don’t agree with a lot of what he used to stand for, and that’s putting it mildly, but he had the ability to project like a revivalist preacher.

They really don’t make ‘em like that any more.

I’d have given anything to have listened to Evan Roberts, Perch.

Fyth ni allaf fod yn well;
Dallu di am gwna yn agos,
Fewyllys i yw mynd ymhell
Yn, dy glwyfau, yn dy glwyfau,
Bydda'i'n unig fyth yn iach.

I think many more will after seeing how inept the Westninster lot are


Almost as inept as Drakeford who with his Labour cabal has wasted 20 years of subsidies from Westminster (under the Barnet formula) let alone the regional development funds from the UK's contribution to the EU which the EU returns less it's cut.

Ireland was part of the UK in 1860.


I was talking about the southern states of the USA who wanted independence from the Northern states do keep up.

Not even a slight suggestion that I'm prying but sometimes its best to face the past full on .Worked in the main for me

Actually it was not about Ireland it was about the British government and the decision not to prosecute British soldiers fighting terrorism in a part of the UK.
