The real bombers after being named in court today by an IRA man given permission.

Amazing to have innocent men locked up so long for it.
 


West Midlands Serious Crime Squad wouldnt have known the difference been semtex and marzipan...
Travelling around the country going to gigs in my youth I was always well warned by the locals about the West Midlands police.
 
There were six men in Birmingham
In Guildford there's four
That were picked up and tortured
And framed by the law
And the filth got promotion
But they're still doing time
For being Irish in the wrong place
And at the wrong time
In Ireland they'll put you away in the Maze
In England they'll keep you for seven long days
God help you if ever you're caught on these shores
The coppers need someone
And they walk through that door
 
Eh? They were proved innocent.
They weren't proven innocent, their convictions were overturned as unsafe.

The police fudged some evidence, and more than likely beat confessions out of them, which is obviously a disgrace.

They were dodgy but that's not enough to convict aline.

Yeah they were Irish
Irish who were likely fundraising for the IRA, and were arrested heading to an IRA funeral iirc.
 
Am I right in thinking the original 6 were not exactly squeaky clean in their behaviour before being arrested?
They were wrong'uns alright and were involved in the IRA. Most likely guilty of something but the police pinned this on them and hoped to kill 2 birds with 1 stone.
