"Unladylike? There's a young girl who was shot in the back by the paratroopers...they did not ask her if she was a lady..." Devlin is brilliant!

[@LifeInStone]

My god the attitude of the journalist and his questions say a lot about the arrogance and world view. Incredible

Force of nature. What a woman!

[@Matt-Durham]

She is well known to walk through massive clouds of CS gas unaffected, as well as being shot over 10 times and survive, she was shot 14 times in total, the same amount of people murdered on Bloody Sunday, very strange coincidence. The SAS were meant to be watching her house yet two attackers were able to climb a pole cut the phone lines, then smash the back door down and shoot her and her husband multiple times, then the SAS arrested to the 2 attackers after they walked out of the house.

[@envisagebgt8078]

such a brilliant reply to the arrogant reporter!

[@mathewwalentowicz3081]

To right good on her standing up for herself in an establishment that was completely against her There would be an uproar nowadays if someone accused a woman’s words or actions as “unlady like “ but sexism was thriving back then and giving it to him straight with her answer shows here intelligence and her razor sharp whit I feel proud to be able to say that I’m related to this woman

Funny how they weren't there when the gunmen burst into her house but were there when the gunmen left after shooting her and her husband. But aye, she should've said thanks.

Holy crap. I just saw the Firing Line interview where she handily schooled Buckley and then murdered the arrogant pricks who tried questioning her towards the end. Respect.

Echoes of the Past , Your be Cancelled now for that way of Thinking

[@SymphonyBrahms]

She handed them their butts on a platter. Buckley couldn't faze her. And the disgusting little creep on Buckley's panel who called Irish people barbarians came across as a real racist jerk. Buckley even turned on him because Buckley was of Irish heritage himself.

This young woman had the courage, the composure, the brilliant mind to speak to the ‘Home Secretary and call him out on his lies and the murderous paratroop regiment. And smack his fat lying face when they denied her permission to speak truth to power. God Bless Bernadette!!!’

[@dobbins4323]

God Bless Bernadette! Her composure, quiet, powerful poise and her courage. An inspiration. She wasn’t permitted to speak while,the lying Maulding and his perfidious Tory team pushed that lying ‘Alternate Narrative’ for the next 40 years.
