My dad, the peace deal and me.

    I thought Patrick Keilty's personal view of Northern Ireland twenty years after the good friday agreement - from the point of view of someone who's parent was murderd for no real reason - was moving, thoughtful, and worth a second watch on iplayer. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b09y26jk/my-dad-the-peace-deal-and-me

I watched it Anchorman and felt the same. It's well worth a second viewing.

Further agreed, history doesn't really do justice.
