- On 14 March 1991, ITN's cameras captured the release of the Birmingham Six, the group of Irishmen wrongfully arrested and convicted for the Birmingham pub bombings of November 1974. Patrick Joseph Hill, Richard McIlkenny, Hugh Callaghan, John Walker, Gerard Hunter and William Power were sentenced to life imprisonment in 1975, and spent 16 years behind bars before their convitions were overturned. Their release came nearly two years after the release of the Guildford Four, who were imprisoned under similar circumstances following the Guildford pub bomings of October 1974. Paul Hill, one of the Guildford Four, campaigned for the Six's release, and features prominently in ITN's footage of the day.
Awareness of the plight of the Birmingham Six was raised by The Pogues' famous song Streets of Sorrow/Birmingham Six, written by band members Shane MacGowan and Terry Woods. The song was banned from being played on the radio by the UK's Independent Broadcasting Authority, in line with a directive from the Home Office that forbade the broadcast of any statements deemed sympathetic to the IRA. The ban on the song was not lifted until after the release of the Birmingham Six.

Thursday 14th March 1991
А есть хроника Ливерпуля 1983-87 годов?
Not exactly what your looking for, but if your referring to the Militant government of Liverpool in the 80s, there is this really good documentary about the period in the 90s after Militant were kicked from the Labour party. Its in english though, I don't know if you can get Russian subtitles for it. (то же самое снова на русском языке с помощью гугл-переводчика) Это не совсем то, что вы ищете, но если вы имеете в виду правительство Militant в Ливерпуле в 80-х годах, есть этот действительно хороший документальный фильм о периоде в 90-х годах после того, как Militant были изгнаны из Лейбористской партии. Правда, он на английском, я не знаю, можно ли получить для него русские субтитры. ua-cam.com/video/zFwwFsq6siU/v-deo.html
The British government has never been straight always as bent as the cops are Shane on the people for allowing them to continue
I blame the BBC.
I'm not a fan of Trump, however he did shine a light on fake news.
So I personally don't blame the people it's the sh!te they listen to every night on TV.
And every British copper who fitted these innocent men up got away with it.
Rule Brittania.
This explains the Israeli support
Ireland support Palestine.
Not the cvnt's you care to mention.🤣🤣🤣🤣
That's bollocks..
