“Looks like he’ll be joining Bobby Sands in Hell.”
Ah, Bobby Sands...I lived in Northern Ireland when Bobby Sands did his suicidal fast in 1981. One of the mechanical engineers who worked for me there knew Bobby.
When Bobby Sands croaked, the women of Belfast began banging trash can lids on the pavement as a signal that things were about to smoke.
I remember Margaret Thatcher standing her ground throughout his ill-fated fast. The Falklands War came soon after.
