BOBBY SANDS HUNGER FILM

Early day motion 1577, tabled 15 May 2008 by Gregory Campbell (DUP). Signed by 5 members.

That this House notes the news that Channel 4 is set to show a film depicting the life of convicted terrorist Bobby Sands; condemns the revisionism in the statement regarding the decision to show the film by Channel 4's commissioning chief that `it is the right moment to be revisiting and reconsidering the ideals of these young men who put themselves and others through a great deal for their belief that they could make their world better'; declares that Sands and all other convicted terrorists offered and delivered only anguish, death and misery to all peace-loving, law-abiding people of all faiths in Northern Ireland, throughout the UK and the other nations where they attempted to wreak their havoc; and commends all those who peacefully and democratically stood up to Sands and all other terrorists.

Signatures by party: DUP 4, Conservative 1.
