The Betty Boo Room
It is heartening to see that sometimes memory is stronger than forgetting. Marian Price does not figure prominently in the minds of all her former colleagues from the heady days of armed struggle. They seem to think subversive republicanism is infectious and if they don’t quarantine their memories from it, they might just catch it. Not recommended for those who want to sit suited and booted at Stormont with their new found right honourable friends.
Still, as has been demonstrated by recent campaigning and
letter writing some of those who went through Armagh Gaol as republican
political prisoners have memories which are not just as short. They have no
interest in managing Britain’s affairs in Ireland and have been to the fore in
raising the profile of their fellow former prisoner, interned because the
British rule the roost and can do pretty much as they like.
