Insulting Derry banner
It is suspected that this insulting banner taken from the Derry Walls last weekend may have been put there by off duty British paratroopers stationed in Ballykelly's Shackleton Barracks in County Derry, a few miles from Derry City
According to John Kelly of the Bloody Sunday campaign, whose brother Michael was killed on Bloody Sunday, "the use of the term Paddys suggested some sort of British involvement. It would be in the interests of British soldiers to antagonise the thousands of people attending the march."
The spot were the banner was draped is close to a British Army barracks on Derry's Walls and would be under surveillance from cameras and watchtowers.
