Description

Jill Lourie reports to unnamed studio reporter on the progress of the Ulster Unionist Action Council general strike in Northern Ireland, including speculation on the role of intimidation in its success. She also comments on the feelings of NI residents. Security forces have been diverted from defeating terrorism to policing the strike so aim of strike for improved security is self-defeating.
