If a bunch a British soldiers escaped from some foreign powers prison confines - the "heroes" would all be whisked round to Buckingham palace for tea & cream buns & medals handed out all round, but, the shit hits the fan when it's about those who escape from what was supposedly the top British Jail in the UK.  I suppose they could of made a documentary about the daring Loyalist escape in the back of the Bin Lorry - though that fool was crushed to death & didn't escape long kesh alive

A POLITICAL storm has erupted over a controversial BBC TV documentary on the IRA Maze prison breakout.

Unionists attacked the content of Monday night's programme in which Sinn Fein junior minister Gerry Kelly relived his role in the 1983 escape.

Both the DUP and Ulster Unionists warned that his contribution would have ramifications for political talks.

Documentary was fair and impartial – BBC

On the show, Mr Kelly showed no sign of remorse and he also coldly recounted shooting a prison officer in the head.
Another guard, James Ferris, died, two were shot and 13 stabbed by the fleeing inmates.

DUP chairman Lord Morrow of Clogher Valley said the programme vindicated his party's view that "it would be unacceptable to have Sinn Fein in control of any element of policing and justice".
