More republican propoganda

remember i am not anti-catholic/republican, i understand they have differant political views, however i have also my own political views and would wish the same courtesy payed to me, but that is so often not the case, and this is not being helped by programs like these.

it seems to me alot of people see it as being wrong that i want to remain a british citizen and that my home remain that also.

YOU SHOULD TAKE THE HARDLINE STANCE LIKE GILL!!!!!!!

lol, aye best not get on the wrong side of her

Luvs old MAD DOG!

'c' company didn't get exiled out of northern ireland, there now at uni with their true leader in the toon

On yer fucking bike mate

The IRA are hardly portrayed in a positive light, the republicans have suffered years of oppression, years of bad publicity and its onyl in very recent years that the scales are starting to balance and they're being seeing as an EQUAL party.

You can give me a hundred stories and I could throw a hundred back... but I ca't be arsed to go in circles.

This program shows a bunch of thugs as a bunch of animals... How can you ahve a problem with this, its as stupid as a republican complaining about the bad publicity omagh created.

I can respect your political views and I do respect your political views - but I honestly don't see the problem with this program - those concerned should be publically shamed,

Oh come off it, do you honestly think we learn from our mistakes? America stillactively supports countries where there are genocide issues... As for Joe public, Joe public is too easily manipulated to really learn anything.

Just look @ the Iraq situation.

Little drama's like this show don't educate anyone or anything... We learn at young age right from wrong - what could this program possibly teach adults? (not our future genrations - future generations haven't yet been born so wont watch this show )

my problem is that why make a drama out of it?, and don't say so people know about what happened, that is what the news coverage is for, and 99% of people know about what happened at holy cross, the bbc are cashing in to provide prime time entertainment to people sitting in the comfort of their own homes, out of peoples daily suffering and misery. And from this you will get people thinking they are experts on northern irish affairs and beginning to judge me, as a protestant, as if i was one of the ones throwing insults and rocks!


Katie no offence but your opinions back this up.

i can also be sure that after the program is broadcast there will be more civil unrest in belfast.....................if a program has the ability to be this inflamatory, i don't see the need for it at all.

I dont care about people who want to kill Brits or English.

So what your saying is the british public shouldn't be shown the true picture as they can't be trusted with this information?

Thats a comment I'd make u arrogant fuck

Your starting to sound like some right wing extremist who believes in censorship... Using your same arguement we shouldn't watch documentaries and drama's about Hitler as the news covered it back in the 40's.

Protestants thugs/housewives/kids/whatever took part in this act, they should be prepared to take responsibilties for their actions... Yes it tars all protestants with the same brush - but so did the PLO, IRA, etc. in years gone.

You ahven't a leg to stand on mate

erm most republicans are brits

That being the problem

what about all the war coverage, the anti-islam coverage, etc. surely most asian communties would use the same arguements.

However we the british public ahve the right to be informed of this information. Society must be trusted with this information - if u took away the trust society wouldn't survive - just look at any oppressive regime... they eventually topple.

do u have a problem with say brits killing muslims, "republicans", americans, afghans?

I think theres a time and place for everything

I would love us to nail Mugabe!!!!

Muslims = About 0.000000000001 yes
Republicans = Certain elements yes
Americans = NO
Afghans = A few

i'm not advocating the abbolishment of news, but drama's derived from it, these are influenced by the descresion of the producers, news broadcasts on the whole are impartial.

idea's and steriotypes can be placed in peoples heads through these drama's. look at 'braveheart' and 'the patriot', factual inacuracy's portrayed as drama and fact

surprised mel gibson ain't in this tonight, he loves having a go at brits.

It's the in thing.

hang on it hasnt even been on yet!

why are you knocking something you havent even seen? is this because you are going into watching this programme (sp) with a set mentality that it is not going to portray the situation correctly and as you see it and that therefore the programme is wrong and shouldnt be shown? is this not a narrow minded approach? (and im not saying you are narrow minded)

sound familiar?

lets just watch it first, then judge.

And the news isn't any less biased?

Take the journalists on the frontline of iraq being shown what th US wanted them to see... that was innacurate yet you ahve no objection to the news.

Whereever the media is concerned you will find bias however as british citizens and human beings we have a right to this information its not upto one person to make the moral decission for everyone - you happen to think the british public can't be trusted with this program i do.

I don't think this will detsroy the peace process - it may disjoint a few noses but thats it.
