  Bloody - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bloody is the adjectival form of blood but may also be used as a swear word or expletive attributive (intensifier).
The use of bloody in adult UK broadcasting aroused controversy in the 1960s and 1970s but is now unremarkable (as can be seen by the fact that in the Harry Potter movies, which are geared toward children, the character Ron says "bloody hell" many times in all four movies).
The origins of the United Kingdom's objection to "bloody" may be in part due to the connotations of Bloody Mary, most commonly referring to a particularly divisive queen of England notorious for her violent suppression of anti-Catholic views.

 Bloody Sunday (1972) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bloody Sunday boosted the status of the organisation, and many young Catholics, who felt aggrieved at what they perceived as the injustice of the day, joined the IRA.
Memory of Bloody Sunday overshadows most other violent instances in the history of the recent troubles of Northern Ireland, arguably because it was carried out by the forces of the British Government and not paramilitaries.
Evidence given by Martin McGuiness, the deputy leader of Sinn Féin, to the inquiry stated that he was second-in-command of the Derry branch of the Provisional IRA and was present at the march.

 Bloody Mary, Mary Worth and other variants of a modern legend - MythologyWeb   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Of course, "Bloody Mary" is more of a description than a name, so it's possible that the term could have been chanted in the ritual to summon the ghost while believing her real name to be something else.
Interestingly, in three of the stories in which the spirit's name was Bloody Mary she was specifically described as being a close relative of Satan (wife, sister or daughter), which might indicate an overlapping of the two different traditions.
When I asked her if this was some part of the legend or why she thought this would be the case, she said it was probably just that the party she was at when she was told this had been held on a Friday.

Thus the demonstration on Bloody Sunday took place against a background of high political tension and in an atmosphere of the apprehension of violence, which would have been as apparent to the security forces as it was to everyone else involved.
Between July 1971 and Bloody Sunday, the security forces had killed four people in Derry, and utilised an unknown number of rubber bullets and an unknown quantity of CS gas, and had a week before Bloody Sunday put down a peaceful anti-internment demonstration with extreme violence, but Widgery makes no mention of that.
