Er wrong again, yes they were.
There was a huge backlash against innocent Irish people living in the UK in the 70's. Try being Irish in Birmingham after the attacks that happened in that city, the same attacks were people were later found to have been wrongly convicted of that heinous crime. Luckily the powers that be hadn't hung them, or followed a shoot to kill policy at that time, as they could later be relesed, albeit with an appology and compensation.
