IRA & THE BRITISH - THE LONG WAR - PETER TAYLOR - THE TROUBLES

VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED.
The Long War tells the story of the IRA and Sinn Fein from their beginnings right up to the Good Friday Agreement in Easter 1998 and beyond. It tracks the IRA's military strategy, their bombing and killing campaign, coupled with massive arms supplies from Libya and the long, torturous, at times secret, journey led by Gerry Adams and Martin McGuinness through two ceasefires to a negotiated compromise.
The Long War contains major source material and details the roles of key peacemakers in Ireland, Britain and America and also of the dissident militarists who intend continuing the war against Britain.

Peter tailer is a remarkable man how he has documented the troubles from basically from the start to the end of the troubles what an achievement he has done he deserves a medal for all his hard work and dedication he has put in to this a life time of dedication on the troubles

[@Maguirearch]

I think "The Start of the Troubles" ( If there ever was a "Start" since Strongbow landed in Ireland over 800 years ago) many attribute to a Gusty Spence Loyalist paramilitary murder in 1966....I think Taylor's forst real involvement has been since Bloody Sunday in 72 when he was reporting there.

[@nocturnal1970]

For many years now the British would secretly love a united Ireland, a major headache gone from their dark colonial past. Sunak recently saying he believes in the union is beyond the joke, he and others want to forget about it. The decision is not his or theirs but to the people here on the Island of Ireland.

[@vaughanaBowtonladupthewhites]

I served in N/I in the early 70s & even then most of my fellow squaddies & I said what the hell are we doing here! This is should be one country not split because some greedy bastards tens of years ago reaped there millions. My last name is Irish And I wish you well & it would today seem to be happening but I would remind you that the dead squaddies I can guarantee also felt as I did.

[@nocturnal1970]

@@Maguirearch This is true but they should be more worried about socialist Sinn Fein getting into power and destroying the economy, they haven't a clue about economics. I can't see the wealthy southerners giving the Celtic tiger up.

Why do the British keep calling it Londonderry When it's just Derry

[@eoincaomhanach1983]

In recognition of the London investors, the 1613 charter stated "that the said city or town of Derry, for ever hereafter be and shall be named and called the city of Londonderry".

[@melissabyrne8749]

[@liverpoolscottish6430]

The French are to be congratulated for their diligent work which culminated in the huge arms seizure. That saved many lives undoubtedly. The American's who casually contributed to the IRA's campaign of murder ought to be ashamed of themselves. I've never encountered an American who actually had any real grasp of the issues and complex nature of Northern Ireland. The Septics didn't much care for terrorism when it came their shores on 9/11...........Peter Taylor must surely be THE finest journalist to have focused on The Troubles.

[@strictlycasual765]

Any programme on the troubles which has Peter Tailor in is a must watch, he's brilliant. I can imagine the inside man that Heggerty died for was Stakeknife himself, Freddy Scappaticci?

The British should not be there in first place they murdered in Ireland for senturys all over the prods where non Irish planted there in Cromwell times and king Henry 8th if they look back British and their overpowering army thousands more troops guns cooters tanks .and IRA only had all in power 1700 men soldiers of freedom. So it took 30 years to stop the war but the British vcould have been beaten if the frogs didn't stop the boat IRA had all they needed.byt one day the British will have to go leave Ireland for good

[@strictlycasual765]

They went over originally to help the Catholics, if basic human rights were sorted out by the government running Belfast /Derry etc were sorted the whole thing might have never happened?

[@eoincaomhanach1983]

The British army were sent originally to stop the murder of Catholics by the Protestand/Loyalist population, showly this changed. Furthermore can you try this collent again, in actual English please?

[@NorthernIrishCitizensAlliance]

There is no objectivity here about Northern Ireland, it was originally called Ulster, existing as an independent country for centuries after Southern Ireland was occupied by the British. The gas-lighting oppression and ethnic cleansing has been relentless ever since. There has always been an independent Northern Ireland or Ulster and at no time in history has Northern Ireland or Ulster been ruled by a sovereign Dublin or Southern Irish Government. Only subjugated by both its neighbours, Dublin and London, after it was conquered, with the British in charge during its occupation. The controversy or troubles has always been entirely around the historically relentless battle between Dublin and London to rule Ulster, jointly executing the Ulster Plantations to ethnically cleanse the Northern Irish population in their own image, continuing to the persent day, resulting in a much polarised country. Though quiet, the Northern Irish still exist, the second largest community with 31%, after the misguided proxy British and the third largest, but by far the loudest, the misguided proxy Irish republican 20%.

[@davemacnicol8404]

[@English.not.British]

At the risk of oversimplyfing what was a very complex, tragic period in our history i can't help but think "if only you knew" when i hear and see "Brits out" comments from the Republican side. What i mean is if we on the mainland had a referendum today on whether we want Northern Ireland to remain part of the UK it would be a near 100% to wanting to get rid and not be our (very expensive) problem any more. The real question is if it really came to it would the Irish Republic really want N.I to be there's?

What has happened to the IRA this situation is worse than fighting the British.Get back to being Irish

[@strictlycasual765]

As a kid in the N E of England I was told growing up to hate the IRA and when I saw bombs going off hurting innocents in England it was easy to go along with even as a Roman Catholic with a naive childs innocent brain as everyone in England will have, but as an adult Celtic loving man if half intelligent brains I can't see anything other than sympathy and a reason why they had to do what they did (hurting innocents is still a wank action though) To the uneducated they were basically farmers with no brains and a bag of bombs but they were very very military savvy and only a foolish government would treat them otherwise I used to go to Celtic games when I was 17 onwards and any time i sat near some Irish talking over a few pre match Guinness they always let me know they hated the English but me and my mates were sound, didn't understand why we supported the bhoys until we said we were Catholics and grew up loving the hoops (still do)
