Oh dear guess this cancels out some of the goodwill from the cabinet being blown up then doesn't it?
Good work on your TL, keep it up.

The events of February 18th 1991
~SNIP~
Then things took a turn for the worse.
I used the phrase to make it clear that this was not some mixed neighbourhood that people were lifted from. It also sounded better than the troops entered a catholic neighbourhood, or republican neighbourhood. This is one of the hotbeds of the IRA, and I strongly suspect under circumstances, any soldiers, let alone territorials would be nervous.Fletcher, I do have doubts about Nationalists still referring to the area as Free Derry (in 1991). That's almost 20 years after Operation Motorman. Perhaps as a semi-serious folk memory (which would admittedly be quite powerful in the North) but not as an actual identifier.![]()
