Welcome: A brief note about using the archive and search features and comment screening

21st-May-2018 11:21 pm

**Note for Dreamwidth site: This is an import from the journal at LJ. Please feel free to read and comment.

For several years on my journals devoted to Bobby, I marked the anniversaries of all the hunger strikers as well as significant events. I would like now to refer people to the archive to look at the daily titles from the last year of active posting, for example, in order to refresh their memory of the history of that time. For archived events in the political situation, please refer to SAOIRSE32. I do monitor comments made here, so please feel free to post them.

Regretfully, I have had to introduce comment screening on this journal.

You may also read this journal at BOBBY SANDS on Lj.

The site search is currently located at the Lj site.

Thank you,

I'm glad you are reading about Bobby. One of the nice things about a free society is that you are allowed to read what you wish, good and bad. Intelligent people are not swayed by unsupported or prejudiced opinions but can make up their own minds about what to accept and to believe. Without knowing the titles you are speaking about, I couldn't tell you what I think, but it's good you are reading. Thanks for your comment. :)

The Books are 'One Day In My Life'and 'Nothing But An Unfinished Song'My Fathers Family over in Belfast did and some still live on the estate where 'Bobby Sands'lived.Even my young children when over in Belfast and we go done the falls Road know who he is.You see I had all my childhood holidays in Belfast until 1969 when the troubles started then I only went back once in the seventies but over the past 3 years I've been back many times.I love the place everyone so warm and freindly and I see it as My Family Heritage.

Ahh, well thank you for your comments. I think it is Bobby's own family who took some exception to the second book.
