I grew up in the east end of Glasgow in the 1970s with Irish maternal grandparents, one Catholic (South) and one (Protestant) from the North. My grandfather a Protestant from Co Tyrone, loathed Mr Paisley for the damage and the hate filled words he spouted, and who called himself a man of God and his (political gain) hostility towards sections of people in Northern Ireland, under the guise of being a unionist. It is such people who contributed to those troubling times and to the loss and damage of all the people of those times.

Yes. Yes Paisley was/is an arrogant prat. Unfortunately the UK government made things worse too even without collusion. But there certainly was collusion e.g. with the Loughinisland incident. All of the lives lost, all of the structural damage, everything - such a waste. Why did it have to happen? Well that's humans for you.

Paisley reminds of certain german political speakers during the 1930's.

Some of the best footage I have seen of the Troubles. Pity about part 8.

Thanks for uploading this, it's fascinating! Is there part 8 of 8 anywhere? I can't find it...

Matt Easterbrook Great, wasn't it. Still can't find this final episode. Must have been made in the 70s this? Interesting to see the narrative from 1920s up to the recent period.

Would love to know if you've found it online since? I think it's this TV Series from 1981, produced by 'Thames TV': www.imdb.com/title/tt0939494/

So, it was the Irish who referred to the conflict as 'The Troubles'. Well, according to 2:37 to 2:45 .
