Bloody Sunday 53 years on. Still not just history
Its 53 years ago today that British paratroopers fired on a civil rights march in Derry killing 14 and injuring others. The Saville inquiry subsequently found that the shooting was completely unjustified.
There have been small scale memorial events today in Derry and London. The reality is that the relatives of those who were shot dead on that day have still not seen justice done.
Another bit of, recent British history, that those who want all British history to be told would perhaps prefer not to be included in Our Island Story, one suspects.
