Edited sentence: " However after nine more men starved themselves to death, and in the face of growing public anger in Ireland, she turned." protest song, sung throughout that period by some of her opponents.Hated throughout Ireland and most of Europe, she was now feeling the tide turn against her in her own country.In 1981 IRA hunger strikers in Long Kesh prison began fasting to the death in protest at the British government's removal of political status for political prisoners.Political status was reintroduced, and after Sands' victory, followed by that of his election agent, Sinn Féin never looked back.She was also said by many to have divided England into 'the Haves' of the South and 'the Have-Nots' of the North of the country.Thatcher is also credited with having given a great boost to the IRA's fortunes.The first to go on strike was Bobby Sands, who was elected as an MP to Westminster a few weeks before his death.They had been on the ropes for some time militarily and the hunger-strike campaign gave them a great propaganda victory
