Now on bbc news, political thinking with nick robinson. Hello and welcome to political thinking, a conversation with, rather than a news interrogation of, someone who shaped our political thinking about what has shaped theirs. My guest this week is a daughter of what we still euphemistically call the troubles the 30 years or more of violence which scarred Northern Ireland and the british mainland divided communities and claimed the lives of more than 3000 people.
