what a horribly grim, depressing ending. 40 years on, Belfast, while still concealing many of the same problems beneath the surface, is an exciting and vibrant city.

This is badly edited (many parts have been removed) it was transmitted in January 1981 on I.T.V. Some things to reflect on now compared to then in 1981 ... 1, the british troops have gone 2, equal rights are now in place 3, power sharing (stalled at this moment) is in place 4, we now have an all Ireland executive 5, the 26 county free state (You can only have a Repuplic in 32 county's) is not run by the catholic church-abortion permitted-gay rights ... Things were getting better and then the stupid English and Welsh voted to leave The European Union ... that was a Shamfull Mistake! As a Liverpool Englishman, I know you are on the road to re-union and reconciliation ... I think it will take another 20 years or so.
