Added gusto with Mboto Gorge ; it was like a Formula One pit stop.

The bombing of Serbia during the Kosovo War and the bombing of Germany during WWII, Dresden in particular. Also, the unlawful shooting of IRA combatants in 1988 in Gibralter.

That phrase shows that I give not one f*** that those murderous scum were shot

Indeed, the soldiers had no allegiance with either side, were there to help, but still 700 of them died.......

Mate, do you genuinely believe that? I recommend you look out the Jeremy Paxman narrated "British Empire" that aired on BBC a few years back. The template of how England controlled it's colonies has remained unchanged for centuries. Ireland followed this template to the letter. The continuing flood of information re collusion is making some very unpleasant reading for many on both sides of the Irish Sea.

If there is one thing we can learn from this, and Hillsborough, is how essential it is to have a free press who are unafraid to pursue the real truth no matter what.

Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune.

Thanks for remaining largely civil on such topics so far.

Please keep it up.

The last scene in Black Adder Goes Forth, sums up beautifully the senseless loss of millions of men in the First World.
Soldiers really were nothing but cannon fodder and treated as such. Yet no one was ever held to account for this slaughter.

This for me.

After all the laughter, wit and hints of the British stiff upper lip, the ending of Blackadder was perfectly executed. Amazing how many lives where put at risk and ultimately lost.

Bloody Sunday wasnt a war crime, it was merely self defence.

the murdering of 14 unarmed civilians by the State and the subsequent cover-up all of which was admitted by the government to be wrong was self-defence ?

ok matey
