      English people hate injustice just as much as anyone else, it's the English police, judiciary and politicians who are a fucking disgrace. Not the decent English people.

      Looks my mum irish she grew up in the troubles and the trouble was just hell for everyone it was basically our vietnam. The English came in the help because of the Catholic and protestant problems was getting pit of hand. And it was bad in the beginning but not as bad as what was too come in 1972. After the events of bloody sunday young boys got anger and hatred in there hearts for the English and the ira git hundreds of young boys joining them. Within a year the ira start bombings in England and shooting police and then the guildford bombing happen and people were fuming so the police basically found the first young lads who had recently been to England and made an example out of them. It was hell for everyone no side can really be blamed so much blood and lives lost

      Being Irish in London any time was a fkg disaster. In my parents dsy there were advertisments for house rentals in London which openly said 'No dogs, no Irish'. Such racism, on top of eight centuries of unreleived misery. Nobody does racism like the British.

Its brutal. His fathers life taken by it. The guilt of that alone would have been too much. I wouldnt have made it as far as he did. Id probably have topped myself. Poor man.

      It is worth pointing out one of the Guildford Four, Carole Richardson, was actually English and had zero connection with Ireland other than the fact her boyfriend was Paddy Armstrong.
      In fact eight people were initially charged with the Guildford bombings, including a Northern Irish Protestant. He and the other three who eventually had their charges dropped only escaped the same fate as the Guildford Four because they didn’t sign false confessions.

    I've learnt about this story by watching the extraordinary Jimmy Sheridan movie when was at the big screen if not wrong mid 90s, I recall after having watched that film that I felt so sad about the story and in particular I felt and still feeling emotional about the realtionship between father and son or at least how it has been described and told by Jymmy Sheridan, unfortunately this 'terrible ''mistakes'' are still happening, also in my country as anywhere, not to mention wrong dead penalties.... to be honest nothing can pay you back for the wasted time that you have rot in a jail nothing can pay back for the pain of having seeing your father dying in front of you as an innocent man locked up in 4 walls, there's no money that can relieve that pain. those who have committed this terrible crime will pay because divine justice is the only one that truly reapairs everything, this for those who believe as Giuseppe and as many more

No surprise that British justice was so wrong in this case.
