The Agreement - 25 years on

[Snapchap]

The sound of a nail being hit squarely on the head:

A home truth that many in the south need to hear on repeat, from a woman who lost a family member on Bloody Sunday.
As a perfect way to demonstrate her point in the clip above, remember that in the 30 year papers, it was revealed that Jack Lynch had been agitating the British Government a year before Bloody Sunday to ban Civil Rights marches, calling them "provocative". The transcript below is from a conversation between Lynch and Prime Minister Heath on the evening of Bloody Sunday:

"Mr Heath: "Well you know it is very difficult to accept a condemnation of Stormont for doing something which you yourself have requested, you have constantly requested. You spoke to me last summer that marches should be banned."
Mr Lynch: "Because I think these marches are provocative."
Mr Heath: "Well then, this was a provocative march today."

F*****g despicable.

DUP and the various loyalist bloggers spitting feathers at CHH for his speech at Queen's today.
Is it finally going to sink in that this bunch of Tories don't give a shite about them

I find it sickening that the likes of pengelly is sitting there. Who voted her in? They're an embarrassment but the whole bloody event loses any shine if they are giving foster a peace award.

Your taking the piss? Seriously?

Fuuny Queen's had a presentation photo of people who contributed positively to the GFA and who's in the photo....but Ian Óg.

Embarrassing by Queen's.

The whole thing is a load of self indulgent bollocks

It must have been an attempt to find balance but in the process you totally undermine yourself.

Arlene walks out of the UUP talks team during the final days of the agreement negotiations and gets a peace award, utter bollox.

Trying to rewrite history they say!

Tbf a lot of the event has been very good by the looks of it - I just find it a bit sickening that there are people who seem to have zero desire for peace sitting there among this audience. Granted you need to try and take people with you etc etc but at no point have this party shown any kind of desire to be taken with anyone and unless they are forced into government they are blatantly not going into it.

Look at the organisation committee behind it with a correlation to the early days of the Casement project would let you know all you need to know about it.

Think Queen's had good intentions with their events but it all seems a bit smug and nauseating at this point. The reality on the ground is they're paying off lowlifes on both sides 25 years after the agreement and haven't addressed the hard issues in that time( Legacy, Education Integration, Loyalist thugs)

That's a bit harsh on the clintons

Who are they?

Typical intellectual nonsense. Reality is the DUP never signed up to the GFA and two of their last three leaders left the UUP because of that parties support for the GFA. Foster did about as much for the peace process as Putin did for peace in Ukraine.

Maybe he's talking about the lad Feeney?

You have attacked a great international event, a wake up call for us all and  more importantly a line in the sand which surely can help inject urgency into those refusing to share power. on the basis of some personal grievance or dislike. Build your own bridge and get over it and read the room when you are at it. Until then I think that your angle  is pathetic...
