Small point; it's just Britain, not the British mainland. That is unless you are talking in the context of Shetland or some similar island.What I'm looking for help with is a list of the confirmed/undisputed human rights abuses perpetuated by the British authorities against the Catholic Community during the troubles both in Northern Ireland and on the British Mainland
Great Britain is the correct geographic term - mirroring the French of la Grande Bretagne vs la Bretagne (Brittany).Small point; it's just Britain, not the British mainland. That is unless you are talking in the context of Shetland or some similar island.
The only 'mainland' near us is the European mainland. Other than that there's just a couple of Islands.
Hi @time to plan
I'm primarily interested in incidents but policies would definitely be of interest also - thanks
Using the term 'the Orkneys' rather than 'Orkney' could be considered an 'incident'.Yes @Purple - I'm not interested in cases that occured in Shetland or the Orkneys for that matter - hence, my wording. Admittedly, I'm a bit ambivalent as to whether the Isle of Skye is to be included given the "new" bridge! [Read: Go away, Purple!!!! You got me!!]

This explains how Unionists were not the bad guys pre Troubles that everybody paints them out to be. We are looking for instances of the Brits being bad guys during the Troubles.“CAIN” said:...no evidence of systematic discrimination against Catholics.

On the stated fact that nationalists got more than their proportionate share of social housing Colum Eastwood actually turns this into another evidence of MOPE - the Prods were further up the social ladder.
Glad to hear that. I generally agree that the points you make are factually accurate. I just question the perspective you put on them. The above quote shows a proper perspective.Let me just say, there is no question in my mind that Catholics in NI suffered as much discrimination as say, black people in South Africa or in the USA. There is simply no comparison in terms of extent and scale.
