I agree,...I don't agree with all of Bernadette Devlin's political leanings,...but God bless that woman for standing up for the cause! That is an appropriate pic above as it shows that Brits are only brave when it comes to fighting women and children. Anglo cowards,..

I remember 1969 very well as that was also the year I married. I really admired Devlin's courage in stand up to the oppressors in NI,even though I did not agree with some of her other political stands. 1969 was a year of turmoil. And also in 1969 we also saw Neil Armstrong walk on the moon.
