When the UDA carried out this massacre it was still a legal organisation…the single most egregious example of collusion - the failure to ban the UDA @NIOgov @10DowningStreet @dfatirl

After a long delay the Coroners Inquest into the 1971 killing of Kathleen Thompson will resume again this morning, Feb 15. Kathleen, a mother of six, was shot dead by a British soldier in the Creggan area of Derry. Our thoughts and solidarity are with the extended Thompson family

Fifty long years these families have stood demanding the truth about how their 15 loved-ones were slaughtered at McGurk’s Bar in Belfast. How about it @BrandonLewis @PONIPressOffice @10DowningStreet ? What is it about the truth that scares you?

A reminder, while the Daily Mail @MailOnline is demonising the McCann family, this is how their reporting on the trial depicted the people of Derry. They altered Getty's original tag on the photo, changing 'civilian detainees' to 'IRA terrorist suspects'!
