Amnesty as good as confirmed. Disgusting, but not in any way surprising from these scumbuckets in Westminster

"It is believed it will involve a statute of limitations ending all prosecutions related to the Northern Ireland Troubles prior to 1998.

It would apply to former members of the security forces as well as ex-paramilitaries."

they need to bury the story that the state forces were murdering scumbags and not the peacekeepers they like to portray them as.

British establishment doing what it does best.

This is purely an exercise in saving face for the British Government.
The prosecution of soldier F was a precedent that they couldn't handle as it would open the door to so many more prosecutions across NI and the wider global conflicts the Brit forces were part of.
Everyone else is threw under the bus, in true Tory fashion, so they can look out for their own interests.

Fair play to Eastwood for naming F yesterday.....not sure what the legalities are for the likes of us reposting the the name online, but his name is out there now and I hope it's spread far and wide.

They're inadvertently vindicating every killing by the IRA by doing this.

They don't care.

The spin that this is an amnesty for their soldiers will sit well with their gammon voting base.

The fact that it's an amnesty for everyone else who committed a crime here in the name of the troubles will also walk scot free will not be part of the headlines...

Quotenot sure what the legalities are for the likes of us reposting the the name online

Don't, parliamentary privilege doesn't cover repeating it AFAIK. That's why news sites haven't repeated it.

Another damming report today on state murder. Not surprising to some of us and good to see the truth come out.

The report also identified concerns about the practice of returning weapons to loyalists that had been deactivated, when the organisations had the proficiency to reactivate such firearms.

One such handgun was used in the murders of five people in the bookies.

Weapons that had not been deactivated were also returned to terrorists, something Ms Anderson said she found "inherently reckless".

Agree fully, if this is what they are prepared to admit to I'd say the reality is a thousand times worse

was watching BBC Newsline last night and there was some former RUC guy on still spouting nonsense that it wasn't the RUC he knew etc. I guess that's a good example of Cognitive dissonance?

While everyone knew it was going on it's always good to see some body or other putting it down in print.

Remember this case at the time.. there are no words to the embarrassing attempts to hide their actions or inability to conduct a proper fair investigation..

Feeling angry after ready that
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea
