This article is simply gaslighting and it is deeply offensive and hurtful to those of us who endured the state brutality of the 70s and 80s. I could provide an endless list of examples why this is so - but why bother trying to explain to one who doesn’t know nor care.
"The reality is that from the mid-1970s the conflict was primarily about the IRA’s attempt to violently impose a 32 county socialist Republic on the island. The sectarian state had been dismantled by then."
