From "Difficult Times. Diaries 1974-1980." by Tony Benn (Arrow, 1984)

Now, Tony Benn. There IS a great Englishman. I've never found myself able to disagree with a word that I've heard him say. If only...

Mo and TB must be off the same block.

News of the Westminster bombed halted the offensive in Belfast only
briefly. When British troops began advancing again they did so with a
new ferocity. Casualty figures for the retaking of West Belfast are
unreliable - press reports of any civilian casulaties were strictly
censored and Government records remain secret under a 100-year
disclosure rule. Republican sources claim casualties amongst the
civilian population reached several thousand and there is widespread
anecdotal evidence of atrocities committed by troops as they advanced
through Belfast. The British Government has consistently rejected such
claims, blaming them on a mixture of terrorist propaganda and the result
of the IRA torturing those they deemed "collaborators".
