Fermanagh Bhoy. A little bit of politics, a little bit of Celtic, and the occasional outburst. #Think32 #TimeForUnity
Springhill Inquest Findings: None of the victims posed a threat. All were aimed shots. All represented unreasonable force by the British Army. Father Noel Fitzpatrick and father of 6 Patrick Butler were killed by the same bullet. All killings were violations of British Army's own Yellow Card rules. John Dougal (16yrs): shot by Soldier A while running away and trying to find cover, he may have been armed but Coroner declared that irrelevant. Father Noel Fitzpatrick: was shot by Soldier A while trying to minister to injured/dead/dying. The British soldier would have seen that he was unarmed. Patrick Butler: was shot and killed by Soldier A while he was assisting Father Fitzpatrick. The British soldier would have seen he was unarmed. David McCafferty (14yrs): was killed by Soldier A while trying to retrieve Father Fitzpatrick's body. The British soldier would have seen he was unarmed. Margaret Gargan (13yrs): was unarmed and posed no threat when killed by Solider E. Our sincere thoughts and gratitude are with these extraordinary families this evening. They have borne unmerciful hardship and trauma. Their courage in the face of the British state's impunity has been truly inspiring.
It’s been more than a week since Sean Egan, a manager at Morrisons in Aldridge, announced that he’d been sacked just for doing his job – for stopping a thief nicking booze – and national outrage over the whole affair is still running high. Sean is on morning TV as I write, donations to pay for his appeal rising steadily. In part, the fuss is a measure of sympathy. Sean worked at Morrisons for 29 years and was liked by the people of Aldridge. He was sacked, the supermarket says, because it has a ‘deter, don’t detain’ policy – though what it thinks could possibly have deterred this thief, given his long list of previous convictions, is anyone’s guess. ✍️ Mary Wakefield Article | spectator.com/article/shamel…
