Great movie, Daniel Day Lewis is so good in it, obviously it's very close to home and I do remember experiencing some of the anti-Irishness in London myself back in the 90's when i lived there for a couple of years and at that point it wasn't even as bad as it would have been in the 70's and 80's. That mentality of just having someone locked up, anyone is so awful. Why wouldn't you want to find the real people. The whole thing was a disgrace and they weren't the only innocent Irish people made the fall guys for IRA bombings either

...yeah, my own dad was a man who came over to England from NI so I kept relating that it could have been him...and the same with the Maguire 7, the extended family that so many Irish had living here also...there were only a few of my dad’s siblings who stayed back home and most of them were in England with a few in the USA....it was nice to read of that huge wave of support for Gerry in America...
