After last weeks shocking revelation by the British government that killing unarmed civilians is wrong it seems that thirty eight years just isn't long enough to bury past imperialist crimes. It seems due to an "informal understanding" the RUC (Northern Irish police) didn't investigate murders committed by British troops. The Bloody Sunday report thus suggests that around 150 murders were not properly investigated.
Sure this dirty war was small scale because it was close enough for British media to investigate anything big but it shows how Imperialist powers, even faded ones, will do all sorts of unpleasant things to maintain control of a colony.
