Posters from the American War in Vietnam


A friend sent me some pics of posters that she bought in Vietnam in a shop in Hanoi called the Old Propaganda Shop. I have always liked Agitprop posters & the Vietnamese ones are brilliant as they are portraying their struggle against the world's numero uno Imperialist gangster - Uncle Sam. You can read more here: "Agent Orange & the Old Propaganda Shop"



This poster states: "Nothing is happier than our country is liberated!" 
Indeed !

The Saville Report




Justice has been done - 40 years too late !

There was no tricolours flying in Derry yesterday which was obviously a conscious decision as it would have given the begrudgers within Unionism an even bigger excuse to simply write yesterday off as a day of nationalist triumphalism (which it certainly was not.)

Also, not all of the families could be described as republicans, some dont even go to the annual marches for their own personal reasons & thats their perogative & should be respected.

I watched yesterday's events & if there had been a sea of tricolours the impact of the day would have been lost imho.

It was a very sad day as many, many of the victims relatives never lived to see their loved ones' names cleared.

British imperialism has been shamed again!
