What a wonderful day for those famlies and what a wonderful day for Derry. A long time coming - but what did it tell us that we didn't already know?

We know. However now the British public know and the wider world know.

Great news today and I'm delighted.

In his report Lord Saville said: "What happened on Bloody Sunday strengthened the Provisional IRA, increased nationalist resentment and hostility towards the Army and exacerbated the violent conflict of the years that followed.

That is the man to send to Israel, not Trimble.

We should still send Trimble somewhere though, Siberia perhaps.

To paraphrase, he said it wasn't the soldiers' fault.  I kid you not.   I'm still fcukin livid.  Typical English condescending, imperical, patronising shite.  w**kers like him have to realise that the days of Britannia sailing the seven seas to teach the world a lesson are long, fcukin over.

Nice to see a few Palestinian flags in the Guildhall and on lapels today.

Saw that myself Aerlik - yer man had some neck on him... very annoying listening to that shite

It was a great PR Exercise by the brits nothing more and nothing less. The prime minister of the time, Edward Heath should be saying sorry for this, but this won't happen as he is rotting in hell

That Jackson character seems to have been shown in a bad light from these findings.

I notice there was no mention of the CPS getting involved following these findings.

The findings have only just been made public, surely that process would require sometime either way.

I saw a banner on the bottom of the BBC screen at one stage saying the CPS had made a statement to the effect that the decision on prosecutions was for the CPS to make. Seemed a bit confusing and maybe the caption-jockey got it wrong and it was someone else saying the decision was down to the CPS. In any case, it seems prosecutions are not ruled out.

Step up Mr. Mansell and assume the mantle of Bertie. Don't upset the apple tart though.

Not the CPS, but at the PPS's discretion I believe (Public Prosecution Service).

It's been a long, long time coming, but at least it has arrived.

I thought "apocryphal" meant of dubious fact or evidence as in "That's an apocryphal story" meaning probably not true??

I'd guess he meant epochal.

I hope he didn't mean apocalyptic.
