The last weeks in the life of IRA hunger striker Bobby Sands are to be made into
a film.

It will be the first feature for Turner Prize-winning artist Steve McQueen, who
will co-write and direct the film.

He said the production - called Hunger - would have "international contemporary
resonance". It is due to be broadcast on Channel 4 next year.

Sands, 27, died in Northern Ireland's Maze Prison in May 1981, shortly after
being elected an MP.

Political protest

McQueen said the phenomenon of the people using their bodies in political
warfare was becoming more familiar.

"It is the final act of desperation, your own body is your last resource for
protest. One uses what one has, rightly or wrongly," he explained.

"What I want to convey is something you can't find in books or archive, the
ordinariness and extraordinariness of life in this prison.

"Yet also the film is an abstraction in a certain way, a meditation on what it
is like to die for a cause."

The film will be shot in Northern Ireland.

Bobby Sands refused food for 66 days in a protest over political status for
republican prisoners in the Maze prison. He was the first of 10 men to die.

This is good news!!!  If the movie remains true the story that is!  And that
remains to be seen when the film comes out!


Sadly...  I knew about this story 5 days ago... and it was on the BBC site for 3
days and not one single "Republican" on SCI bothered to post it...   No...  One
was too busy posting pictures of him and Gerry and attacking me...  The other...
<sigh>  Why bother...   Am I the only Republican that has real roots in the past
in Ireland damn well remembers these things?  

I remember just about 5 years or so ago...  The Republicans then on here were a
damn more organized and co-operated with each other...  We has Loyalism on the
run and we exposed their racist and sectarian hatred for the whole world to
see... and how they hated us for it!!!  But we did what was right! 

I have to say...  I'm becoming very disillusioned with the current "crop" or
"republicans" and "nationalists" on SCI this last year or so......  They do not
seem to want to co-ordinate posts or work behind the scenes to form a
strategy...   They, it seems to me, are more interested in ego gratification
then working for the actual interests of Irish people trapped in the 6 occupied
counties of Ireland....

Sadly!  and I say again...  Sadly! 

Apart from a couple of other posters...  The Nationalist/Republican "side" has
become fragmented and have become posters who's whole reason for posting is
little more then personal agendas...    Perhaps it's a game to you?   Not to me,
Friend!  Not to me!!  Nor should it be to you!!

Why did I use the announcement of the movie of the great Irish Republican Hero!
Bobby Sands to launch this critical post? 

Because it's the only way I hope to wake up the Republicans!  And Nationalists!
To remind them of the seriousness of the situation in the six counties and to
remind them of a time that us Republicans and Nationalists used to co-operate
and work together on SCI to counter Brit Apologists and to expose Unionist
racism and terrorism...  Tear off their mask as it were!

So one final appeal!  

Lads... FFS!!! let us hang together or we'll hang separately...   I know it's an
old quote, but it's a true one...  Where is the... oh never mind... If you don't
get it by now...  You simply never will!

Ray
(Irish and Republican and true - how about you)

Your no true Republican, that IS for sure. As for Bobby Sands, he was a 
murderous wee shite totally corrupted by Republican propaganda and 
brainwashed into committing suicide for an out of date ethos, as were his 
compatriots. The RC church did it's best to stop his idiotic actions and 
failed to do so due to the Republican Movement putting undue pressure on a 
very sick man.
The ONLY racism and terror practised to real effect was by the IRA and the 
Republican Movement.

They/we don't measure up to *your* definition of republican/nationalist - in 
Raybo land where Raybo is always right, that means everybody else is out of 
step except you.

Your no true Republican, that IS for sure. As for Bobby Sands, he was a 
murderous wee shite totally corrupted by Republican propaganda and 
brainwashed into committing suicide for an out of date ethos, as were his 
compatriots. The RC church did it's best to stop his idiotic actions and 
failed to do so due to the Republican Movement putting undue pressure on a 
very sick man.
The ONLY racism and terror practised to real effect was by the IRA and the 
Republican Movement.

They/we don't measure up to *your* definition of republican/nationalist - in 
Raybo land where Raybo is always right, that means everybody else is out of 
step except you.

Your no true Republican, that IS for sure. As for Bobby Sands, he was a 
murderous wee shite totally corrupted by Republican propaganda and 
brainwashed into committing suicide for an out of date ethos, as were his 
compatriots. The RC church did it's best to stop his idiotic actions and 
failed to do so due to the Republican Movement putting undue pressure on a 
very sick man.
The ONLY racism and terror practised to real effect was by the IRA and the 
Republican Movement.

They/we don't measure up to *your* definition of republican/nationalist - in 
Raybo land where Raybo is always right, that means everybody else is out of 
step except you.

I'd expect the film to begin with a montage of all the things that led to
the hunger strikers being imprisoned, and continue with the killings that
the IRA carried out while the strikes were going on. Do you think that will
happen, or will it be a Ghandi style peaceful struggle for basic civil
rights?

Your no true Republican, that IS for sure. As for Bobby Sands, he was a 
murderous wee shite totally corrupted by Republican propaganda and 
brainwashed into committing suicide for an out of date ethos, as were his 
compatriots. The RC church did it's best to stop his idiotic actions and 
failed to do so due to the Republican Movement putting undue pressure on a 
very sick man.
The ONLY racism and terror practised to real effect was by the IRA and the 
Republican Movement.

They/we don't measure up to *your* definition of republican/nationalist - in 
Raybo land where Raybo is always right, that means everybody else is out of

Well.. that should be exciting.. why the last few weeks..?
Why not some of his hetoic deeds before going to prison..?

I'd expect the film to begin with a montage of all the things that led to
the hunger strikers being imprisoned, and continue with the killings that
the IRA carried out while the strikes were going on. Do you think that will
happen, or will it be a Ghandi style peaceful struggle for basic civil
rights?

Hee! Hee! Such a silly question! LOL!

Of  "course" it will be the "Ghandi style peaceful struggle for basic civil 
rights" option! Also, a "lets blame it all on Maggie Thatcher" option. 
Completely ignoring the fact that as the British Prime Minister, she could 
never allow herself to give in to blackmail.

As I said before, Sands was a Republican, and therefore a complete wanker.

Well HELLO Hal, I am between Republican and Nationalist, although if you're
asking if I'm from the republic of Ireland then, yes, yes I am.

However on the other hand if you're asking if I'm a republican in political
terms, I prefer to just see myself as an Irishman.

Hope I've cleared this up for you.

Nothing can possibly clear up anything for our friend Harry Merrick,
I'm afraid. He's made his mind up and nothing is going to shift
it...he's even prepared to contradict himself in order to, he thinks,
support his Unionist view.

There are a few irrational posters in this newsgroup but, imho, Mr
Merrick is the most blatantly so, in this newsgroup anyway.

Your no true Republican, that IS for sure. As for Bobby Sands, he was a 
murderous wee shite totally corrupted by Republican propaganda and 
brainwashed into committing suicide for an out of date ethos, as were his 
compatriots. The RC church did it's best to stop his idiotic actions and 
failed to do so due to the Republican Movement putting undue pressure on a 
very sick man.
The ONLY racism and terror practised to real effect was by the IRA and the 
Republican Movement.

They/we don't measure up to *your* definition of republican/nationalist - in 
Raybo land where Raybo is always right, that means everybody else is out of 
step except you.

I'd expect the film to begin with a montage of all the things that led to
the hunger strikers being imprisoned, and continue with the killings that
the IRA carried out while the strikes were going on. Do you think that will
happen, or will it be a Ghandi style peaceful struggle for basic civil
rights?

Hee! Hee! Such a silly question! LOL!

Of  "course" it will be the "Ghandi style peaceful struggle for basic civil 
rights" option! Also, a "lets blame it all on Maggie Thatcher" option. 
Completely ignoring the fact that as the British Prime Minister, she could 
never allow herself to give in to blackmail.

As I said before, Sands was a Republican, and therefore a complete wanker.

Well HELLO Hal, I am between Republican and Nationalist, although if you're
asking if I'm from the republic of Ireland then, yes, yes I am.

However on the other hand if you're asking if I'm a republican in political
terms, I prefer to just see myself as an Irishman.

Hope I've cleared this up for you.

Nothing can possibly clear up anything for our friend Harry Merrick,
I'm afraid. He's made his mind up and nothing is going to shift
it...he's even prepared to contradict himself in order to, he thinks,
support his Unionist view.

There are a few irrational posters in this newsgroup but, imho, Mr
Merrick is the most blatantly so, in this newsgroup anyway.

No not at all jimmy, sands was a convicted criminal who decided the best way 
out was to top himself,
ie suicide....the cowards way out and if I am led to believe a really 
naughty thing to do if you are a catholic.

Sands was the one that was pathetic.

ROTFL!! I am nothing if not consistant in fact. As for contradicting myself, 
Oh Really? - I don't think so!  I cannot be responsible for your bad 
understanding of the Queen's English, and sadly, I cannot speak Maori!

Oh, and yet again, I am NOT a Unionist. I am a Democrat and a Capitalist. 
Note the capitals!

HMM! Irrational eh? I don't believe so. You are, supposedly and claimed as 
such by yourself, a highly qualified person and very logical. Both, in my 
experience, completly incorrect. And "I" never tell lies either! You are 
indulging in ad hominem. TUT! TUT!

Far be it for me to gloat! BUT In the Irish election it seems Sinn Fein so 
far tonight have only got TWO seats! They are forecast to only end up with 
five seats! So much for progress, so much for over confidence. As I said in 
another post, the Irish people have far too much common sense to put in Sinn 
Fein even by mistake!

ROTFLMAO!!

If done quickly...maybe...one could hardly sensibly suggest that this
was the case with Bobby Sands.

> and if I am led to believe a really naughty thing to do if you are a catholic.

Bobby Sands was Irish before he was Catholic...this is an important
point that you need to grasp. Sadly, I am not confident that you will
manage this feat due to your demonstrably low intellect.

Have a nice day

Au contraire. 

In actuality, and after considerable empirical investigation by a
panel of sociological and psychological consultants at the behest of
the United Nations Usenet Moderation committee, the counterfactual has
been established. With the further finding that not only is Harry
Merrick the most mindlessly irrational and prejudiced person in
soc.culture.irish but that David Jones is likewise the penultimate.

Have a nice day

Your no true Republican, that IS for sure. As for Bobby Sands, he was a 
murderous wee shite totally corrupted by Republican propaganda and 
brainwashed into committing suicide for an out of date ethos, as were his 
compatriots. The RC church did it's best to stop his idiotic actions and 
failed to do so due to the Republican Movement putting undue pressure on a 
very sick man.
The ONLY racism and terror practised to real effect was by the IRA and the 
Republican Movement.

They/we don't measure up to *your* definition of republican/nationalist - in 
Raybo land where Raybo is always right, that means everybody else is out of 
step except you.

I'd expect the film to begin with a montage of all the things that led to
the hunger strikers being imprisoned, and continue with the killings that
the IRA carried out while the strikes were going on. Do you think that will
happen, or will it be a Ghandi style peaceful struggle for basic civil
rights?

Hee! Hee! Such a silly question! LOL!

Of  "course" it will be the "Ghandi style peaceful struggle for basic civil 
rights" option! Also, a "lets blame it all on Maggie Thatcher" option. 
Completely ignoring the fact that as the British Prime Minister, she could 
never allow herself to give in to blackmail.

As I said before, Sands was a Republican, and therefore a complete wanker.

Well HELLO Hal, I am between Republican and Nationalist, although if you're
asking if I'm from the republic of Ireland then, yes, yes I am.

However on the other hand if you're asking if I'm a republican in political
terms, I prefer to just see myself as an Irishman.

Hope I've cleared this up for you.

Nothing can possibly clear up anything for our friend Harry Merrick,
I'm afraid. He's made his mind up and nothing is going to shift
it...he's even prepared to contradict himself in order to, he thinks,
support his Unionist view.

There are a few irrational posters in this newsgroup but, imho, Mr
Merrick is the most blatantly so, in this newsgroup anyway.

No not at all jimmy, sands was a convicted criminal who decided the best way 
out was to top himself,
ie suicide....the cowards way out and if I am led to believe a really 
naughty thing to do if you are a catholic.

Sands was the one that was pathetic.

ROTFL!! I am nothing if not consistant in fact. As for contradicting myself, 
Oh Really? - I don't think so!  I cannot be responsible for your bad 
understanding of the Queen's English, and sadly, I cannot speak Maori!

Oh, and yet again, I am NOT a Unionist. I am a Democrat and a Capitalist. 
Note the capitals!

HMM! Irrational eh? I don't believe so. You are, supposedly and claimed as 
such by yourself, a highly qualified person and very logical. Both, in my 
experience, completly incorrect. And "I" never tell lies either! You are 
indulging in ad hominem. TUT! TUT!

Far be it for me to gloat! BUT In the Irish election it seems Sinn Fein so 
far tonight have only got TWO seats! They are forecast to only end up with 
five seats! So much for progress, so much for over confidence. As I said in 
another post, the Irish people have far too much common sense to put in Sinn 
Fein even by mistake!

ROTFLMAO!!

If done quickly...maybe...one could hardly sensibly suggest that this
was the case with Bobby Sands.

Bobby Sands was Irish before he was Catholic...this is an important
point that you need to grasp. Sadly, I am not confident that you will
manage this feat due to your demonstrably low intellect.

Have a nice day

Au contraire. 

In actuality, and after considerable empirical investigation by a
panel of sociological and psychological consultants at the behest of
the United Nations Usenet Moderation committee, the counterfactual has
been established. With the further finding that not only is Harry
Merrick the most mindlessly irrational and prejudiced person in
soc.culture.irish but that David Jones is likewise the penultimate.

Have a nice day

Your no true Republican, that IS for sure. As for Bobby Sands, he was a 
murderous wee shite totally corrupted by Republican propaganda and 
brainwashed into committing suicide for an out of date ethos, as were his 
compatriots. The RC church did it's best to stop his idiotic actions and 
failed to do so due to the Republican Movement putting undue pressure on a 
very sick man.
The ONLY racism and terror practised to real effect was by the IRA and the 
Republican Movement.

They/we don't measure up to *your* definition of republican/nationalist - in 
Raybo land where Raybo is always right, that means everybody else is out of 
step except you.

I'd expect the film to begin with a montage of all the things that led to
the hunger strikers being imprisoned, and continue with the killings that
the IRA carried out while the strikes were going on. Do you think that will
happen, or will it be a Ghandi style peaceful struggle for basic civil
rights?

Hee! Hee! Such a silly question! LOL!

Of  "course" it will be the "Ghandi style peaceful struggle for basic civil 
rights" option! Also, a "lets blame it all on Maggie Thatcher" option. 
Completely ignoring the fact that as the British Prime Minister, she could 
never allow herself to give in to blackmail.

As I said before, Sands was a Republican, and therefore a complete wanker.

Well HELLO Hal, I am between Republican and Nationalist, although if you're
asking if I'm from the republic of Ireland then, yes, yes I am.

However on the other hand if you're asking if I'm a republican in political
terms, I prefer to just see myself as an Irishman.

Hope I've cleared this up for you.

Nothing can possibly clear up anything for our friend Harry Merrick,
I'm afraid. He's made his mind up and nothing is going to shift
it...he's even prepared to contradict himself in order to, he thinks,
support his Unionist view.

There are a few irrational posters in this newsgroup but, imho, Mr
Merrick is the most blatantly so, in this newsgroup anyway.

No not at all jimmy, sands was a convicted criminal who decided the best way 
out was to top himself,
ie suicide....the cowards way out and if I am led to believe a really 
naughty thing to do if you are a catholic.

Sands was the one that was pathetic.

ROTFL!! I am nothing if not consistant in fact. As for contradicting myself, 
Oh Really? - I don't think so!  I cannot be responsible for your bad 
understanding of the Queen's English, and sadly, I cannot speak Maori!

Oh, and yet again, I am NOT a Unionist. I am a Democrat and a Capitalist. 
Note the capitals!

HMM! Irrational eh? I don't believe so. You are, supposedly and claimed as 
such by yourself, a highly qualified person and very logical. Both, in my 
experience, completly incorrect. And "I" never tell lies either! You are 
indulging in ad hominem. TUT! TUT!

Far be it for me to gloat! BUT In the Irish election it seems Sinn Fein so 
far tonight have only got TWO seats! They are forecast to only end up with 
five seats! So much for progress, so much for over confidence. As I said in 
another post, the Irish people have far too much common sense to put in Sinn 
Fein even by mistake!
