Derry Bloody Sunday memorial damaged

Bloody Sunday memorial in Derry has been vandalised. The top of the sculpture at the Gasyard in the Bogside was knocked off over the weekend.

Last week, Lord Mark Saville published a report which found the 14 people shot dead by Paratroopers in 1972 innocent.

SDLP MLA Pat Bradley condemned those responsible for the damage.

“This is in the heart of the Bogside and I don’t know if it was someone with a few drinks in them but it would appear the damage was caused by people from the area so people will be outraged,” he said.

“It is very insensitive to the families at this time.”

Paratroopers from the battalion involved in Bloody Sunday have claimed the Saville inquiry was “fundamentally flawed”.

In an open letter handed to the Daily Telegraph on behalf of 35 members of 1st Bn The Parachute Regiment said: “We believe the inquiry as convened was fundamentally flawed and its conclusions based upon a subjective interpretation of only some of the evidence adduced before it.”

The letter also attacked Northern Ireland’s Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness, saying: “A more untruthful and unreliable witness would be hard to find.”

Gregory Campbell is a piece of shit. scummy, brainwashed bastard.

scum who did this. And as for the letter, who cares what them murdering fucks say or think

its actually hard to believe someone did this. i'm not even sure it was people from the Fountain, it could well be people from our side. lets hope they get dealt with.

because they're pissed up scumbags. this shit always happens during the summer holidays, but vandalising a bloody sunday memorial is unreal. i'd like to think even the most bitter hun couldn"t do it.

It was probably some druggie scumbag, but I won't rule out the dirty trick squad.

aye. Sometimes a punishment shooting is fully justified

I can’t see it being someone from our side.

As Clagan said, it was probably some rotten Hun from the Fountain.
