Poor people, just heartbreaking. It must have been horrendous for the indigenous Irish people in those times and throughout the troubles, under siege constantly. Awful times, I'm just glad we have peace there now.

Our nearest and dears neighbor England/Britain/ UK repeatedly invaded and attacked in the most brutal and savage manner. For over 800 years, they stole the people's land, food stocks and they drove the people out of their homes on to the roadsides, they caused starvation and a famine to happen, the invaders built the finest mansions and called them their homes. They blamed all their murdering crimes on the people of Ireland. They also complained about the Irish fighting back. My next door neighbour who is a very large landowner and also a lord and some years ago when we were talking, he explained his great grandfather's mansion in Wexford was burnt to the ground and the family had to return back to live in England, some peole become immune to the great wrongs they inflicted on others and they appear to suffer no guilt or shame

I am not passing on any blame to any of the many millions of innocent British, UK English people and soldiers I am only fully the people in power who gave instruction, help and advice to their willing gangster soldiers and hitmen who willingly did wrong. In other words, I fully blame the guilt and no one else. This comes from an x x soldier

I take you point, but the Irish have had a way of mistreating each other as bad or even worse than the British did.

My Mum had an old suitcase full of old postcards and letters she kept under her bed. The soldiers tore the corners off the postcards because the stamps may have been worth something they were that old. Idiots didn't realise the postcards were worth more intact.

@Heretic84 well, when poppy wreaths are laid each year at Lenny Murphys and other unionist paramilitary graves then yes, it has to do with the troubles!

Why blame the poppy? Seriously men fought and died. It's it's 56 yrs now since the troubles stooped. We have moved on. I don't like looking back. Both sides had it bad.

@josephcurley8226 why bring this up. Most ppl don't lay wreaths on that monsters grave. There a decent ppl. Stop being biased. Both sides got it bad. Innocent ppl . We are British. My great great grandfather who was a Catholic died at the somme along with 1000s and the poppy is for that reason. They fought for us . So don't disrespect the POPPY. Love the way these ppl blame the Shankill . Nothing to do with the Shankill. It was the IRA .

So heartbreaking to see the pain these people were being put through, fear and anger escalating because of the violent reprisals taken out on innocent people just trying to live their lives by the British army. If only wiser heads had prevailed in the politics of the time. Tears me up inside because I am British of irish descent. Protestant and Catholic on both sides of my Irish relatives. And this was just the beginning of the long and awful period where hatred and injustice took sway. If it can make me feel this bad to watch this I can only imagine how it must have been to live there.

I am just so glad those Dark Days are over and the all the people of Northern Ireland can look forward to a bright future. I have spent a lot of time over the years in Belfast, I am British, of Irish descent and I can honestly say that everyone I have ever met from The North, Regardless of their Church have always been warm and friendly, some of the nicest people you could ever wish to meet. It was truly awful the way those folk were treated by The British, it makes me ashamed when I think of it.

Near the end, Jim Sullivan. It's true that he was organising "Citizen's Defence". But he was also the second in command of the Official IRA in Belfast. He was a committed marxist and did his best to damp down sectarianism

I think, in that segment, I heard that the troops were "Scottish". What fool would deploy Scots troops who represented, in essence, the Protestants (Scots) of the very community that had politically and economically suppressed Catholics in Northern Ireland for decade after decade ? Not one single Scottish Regiment should have ever been deployed in Northern Ireland. By the way, I am English and Catholic - for both reasons my blood boils when I see the blue & white of the Saltire cross, it is utterly foreign to me as is the injustice to ordinary Catholics that it represents. NB: In all the years of 'The Troubles' (understatement) I never met a single fellow Englishman who had any attachment to the term 'The Union' when it was brandished around by one community in Northern Ireland. To the contrary, most English people couldn't understand why English troops were dying to defend Scottish Protestant primacy in the northern part of Ireland. A total waste of young English blood.

How's it lies? Hundreds of people with destroyed homes destroyed their own homes or what? Robbed themselves? Who killed the 5 civilians? It wasn't the people on camera anyway. Thousands also went to the Republic as refugees in the early 70s, no wonder why.
