Pros and the IRA - Tripping Through Old Lj Posts...

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Every now and then I go back through old lj posts to find links to things that I remember, and on the way I come across other posts and other links, and I'm quite excited to say that this happened today, relevant to comments made in the the Trip Through Your Wire Reading Room discussion from a couple of weeks ago.

We were talking about why the IRA wasn't featured more obviously in Pros, as "the Troubles" were very much part of life in the UK at the time. I remembered an article where Clemens explained this, but didn't have it to hand. I've just found a link to the article in a previous brief discussion about Pros and the IRA! *g* It's sadly gone from the internet now, but it was available via The Wayback Machine, and I'm actually going to copy the text of the article below, for future reference!

And what I reckon? Pros hasn't dated as much as The Sweeney has! *g*
