The Troubles, so called: Britain's war in Ireland (EP2)
from Warrior Nation · host ForcesWatch
Whether it is Brexit or historical allegations, the colonial legacy of Northern Ireland haunts British politics. With a controversial bill on the war having just been approved in Parliament, Forces Watch found three unique voices whose lives and work have been profoundly shaped by the so-called Troubles.What is it like to be occupied by the British military? In episode two of our special mini-series on Britain's war in Ireland, we speak to Fiona Gallagher. A proud Derry woman, Fiona grew up in a Catholic family during the worst years of the so-called Troubles. She told us about the growing up amid riots, house raids and checkpoints in an aggressively securitized city, the killing of her brother by a British soldier and her hopes for the future of her country. You can hear more about Fiona in the BBC's Once Upon a Time in Northern Ireland.Support the show via the Warrior Nation Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/WarriorNationOr follow us on Instagram (@forceswatch) and Twitter (@ForcesWatch).Sign-up to our newsletter.Music by Esion Noise.
