Not true!!! - I remember this case quite well. The only 'evidence' they had against the 'Birmingham six' was that they had a chemical on their hands similar to the chemical used in the bomb. They said they had been playing cards. Subsequently (16 years later!!!) it was 'proved' that the manufacturer of the playing cards had used that particular chemical to coat the cards. Q.E.D. They were 'innocent' notwithstanding they had served 16 years in prison and one of them had actually died there.

Oh, so notwithstanding they were of Irish extraction, they are not permitted to travel back to Belfast to attend the funeral of a family member, because that would make them clearly members of the IRA.

Where have I said anything like what you are saying?
They weren't plucked from obscurity, they were known to the police.
Why?

In some cases very likely .
If they are living in the U.K. They should show some loyalty to the UK and family member or nay should stay away .

Perhaps you could expand this statement.
Which family member's funeral where they attending?
They were not related to each other, the only thing that they had in common was that they all knew james McDade who had blown himself up planting an IR bomb in Coventry and whose funeral they were travelling to attend.

Your stupidity astounds me!!! Would you not attend the funeral of a family member, say in Russia, - would that automatically make you a communist???

All 6 knew each other.
All 6 just happened, conveniently, to be playing cards together.
All attend the funeral of an IRA terrorist.
All are innocent?
Your stupidity astounds me.
