BBC2:  The day Mountbatten died

Did anyone watch this documentary?  It made the hair at the back of my neck stand on end.I will never forget that day, neither will I ever forget the bombing of the Duke of York Barracks or the Hyde Park corner bombing or the murder of Yvonne Fletcher.  The storming of the Iranian Embassy also comes to mind.Hand in heart, with all honesty, I dread to think the UK, in 2019, could go back to the Troubles in Northern Ireland or any other troubled times.  Have we really not learnt anything about our recent history?

Oh NO!!!  Why are we destroying the Good Friday Agreement?  It is the most amazing peace treaty!!  I cannot bear it - not again!!

Yes I watched it. I'll never forget the bombing of the Duke of York Barracks either - I used to cycle through Hyde Park on the way to work on Piccadilly, and had literally just exited the park when the bombs went off! Dreadful time. Hope we can avoid going back to that sort of time.
