Forever Lost, forever gone
Posted: Sun Nov 11, 2018 6:52 pm
I’ve just finished reading FOREVER LOST, FOREVER GONE by PADDY JOE HILL.
Many of you may remember the author – the small, fiery Irishman roaring at the top of his voice outside the Old Bailey, having just, along with the others who comprised the BIRMINGHAM SIX, won his appeal against conviction; small consolation after almost 17 years behind bars, where, because of the nature of the bombing of two crowded Birmingham bars by the IRA, his treatment at the hands of the police, prison authorities, Judiciary, and the ‘establishment’ in general, was less than congenial, not to mention, as I’m sure you’ll appreciate, the negative impact on his wife, young family, and parents, whose homes remained in Birmingham where feelings always ran high.
A good read, made all the more interesting for me because I’ve met Paddy Joe Hill.
