"It doesn't matter *WHAT* I think" 💀

Which is exactly what spawned punk

Many wise words spoken. I'd love to know where they all are now.

0:24 yup. 2:16 - he's still about with the same hair! 2:03 - this is the thing - all that crap was going on fuelled by hatred from both sides, but peoples lives still went on - as if in tandem, with a sense of normality despite the abnormal 'Troubles'. I know a lot of people here in their 50s/60s that never saw or heard anything troubles-related other than road blocks and security checkpoints. I wonder did the BBC and ITV wait to film over here until it was raining to reinforce the feeling of the bleak?! lol the sun did come out!

[@bpfromowc]

It’s known (locally) as the Turf Lodge Shuffle.

Used to call it the pogo in Sydney, this looks like a pogo mosh, different names by different cities

Sectarianism, was a British construct , exported to Ireland in the form of the Reivers plantation in 1607.

3:28 Rusty Egan?

[@OlafProt]

lmao no.

[@Redcap-productions]

Brilliant.

2:52 - is that Dylan Moran?

[@brianboru7684]

No, he was about seven years of age then, and lived hundred miles down the road.

[@danyoutube7491]

@@brianboru7684 But it WAS the same road? Perhaps he looked older than his years, and had gone for a walk to this end of the road.

[@brianboru7684]

@@danyoutube7491 I guess walking from Navan to Belfast aged him ten years.

Does look like him though

Sad this is 40 years ago and all these smart young guys are all now 60 year olds living in a place that in some ways still can't move on.

[@chrisbrockgeezer5511]

There's still a few Belfast Punks in circulation from back then ... they're not all trapped in the city ... I know a few over in London and more made it out to the countryside. The saddest thing is funerals, there's one less friendly face every time 😥

[@OlafProt]

Belfast is unrecognisable from this film. Thankfully.
