North Revision Is Wrong



HISTORICAL revisionism generally begins after the passage of many years from the events in question.

Letter writer John Gregg started his revising less than a month after the latest invasion of the Short Strand in East Belfast, as is evidenced by his letter “A Call for Violence” (July 13-19).  No one, I repeat no one, has come up with a version of the events such as those of Mr. Gregg.

Everyone and, once again, I mean everyone with any interest in the situation -- and that includes community workers, politicians of all stripes, the police, the media and residents -- all agree on what happened at approximately 9 p.m. on the night in question.
