Fair play.

I wouldn't be an rsf supporter but I'll be there on the day for this comemoration.
Its heartening to see that the Hunger Strikers are not forgotten - when I see the likes of Bertie Ahern claimimg that we have 'peace on this island' and the likes of that i just want to give him a good shaking to bring him back to reality . His 'peace' is not what Bobby Sands and the rest of the Hunger Strikers fought and died for .
I'll be there on the day with a few friends
fair play to rsf for organising this.

Bertie's 'Ireland' not our one.

Hi Keith !

Thanks for your comment , Keith - much appreciated!

It's the least we can do in memory of those twenty-two men : the commemoration should take ninty minutes at most and is just a small gesture to their bravery and their commitment .
If Bertie and his type get to hear about it , it might just register with them that the situation is not yet, as he claimed , 'solved' . Not that he gives a damn .

Thanks again !

Sharon.
