The London Olympics “will bring the world together” was Lord Coe’s mantra in the run up to the 2012 event. And maybe so, in an ersatz way. But what unites us in the depths of our being is the things we fight for together, even when we are but dimly aware of the common cause transfiguring our struggles.

'Then there's the fact that one of the reasons for the mass unemployment in our area [the Bogside, Derry], with all its resultant poverty, sourness and frustration, is that the state which the British forces are here to uphold has never felt able to acknowledge Catholics as equal citizens. Thus, even people sickened by IRA violence can nonetheless feel positive about the IRA's purpose. This is the key difference between the North and the South which is reflected in different attitudes to the IRA, to the idea of Irish unity, to the calls and campaigns for 'peace'. It is not a matter of moral revulsion felt by sensitive Southerners and not by hard hearts Up Here, but it is a matter of the differing material circumstances in which people find themselves.'

— Eamonn McCann, War and an Irish Town (1993)
