About time... Now all we need is the killers of Jean Charles da Silva e de Menezes brought to trial and British justice will have made a big leap forward.

Was a tragic mistake however I believe justice was done and no case to answer if you read the facts on that day

Irish "terrorists" used to be called "rebels".

If England was occupied by a foreign power you'd fight back too - wouldn't you? Mmmm? Or would you sit rat-shitting and acquiesce in your oppression?

Wise up: it's a colonial problem. See the bigger picture.

My thoughts entirely O.F. they would probably sit there waffling about its not democratic.

Re: Pensioner Soldier charged with Murder in Ireland.

There is a lot of outrage about the decision to try Soldier F. on military forums
There is a petition now on Facebook, Called The Million Veteran March.
A petition has been set up
Immunity for soldiers who worked in Northern Ireland.

Do not prosecute the military for its work in Northern Ireland. Our military should be excused all criminal investigations after a period of time.
Since it’s inception, on Wednesday over 19000 people have signed.
The talk is about what action veterans and serving military personnel can carry out in order to express their disgust at this government.
Ideas range from returning NI medals
Marches in the Major Cities
Writing to our MPs, a bit of a non starter
Non attendance at the next Rememberance Paradein London and only attending local parades.
Every vet posting one white feather to Downing Street
Before you start overthinking, there is no talk of riots..we are not students. These are early days and there are a lot of ideas flying around.
Thanks for reading

For those that are interested,

Re: Pensioner Soldier charged with Murder in Ireland.

Sadly this isn’t the first time our government chases its own military whilst appeasing ‘the enemy ‘ ... countless soldiers in Iraq have faced court with many ( most ) accusations being proved false before even getting to court ,

Then there was Alexander Blackman and the wrongful conviction


http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017...ban-insurgent/


Remember one thing and one thing only , from weapons of mass destruction to David kelly and tony bliar walked away a free man having left the world with his legacy millions still dying today thanks to his lies and actions ..
David Cameron as il open the gates of hell and turn Libya into a sterile state ... with no repercussions ... yet a soldier whilst under pressures you guys sat at home simply couldn’t begin to understand are looked at under a microscope by barristers and lawyers and hung out to dry


Disgusting !!!!

That was way back in my dad's time. He was only a child then but knew all that was going on. The OLD IRA fought off the brutal reservists from the first world war known as the Black and Tans. The men, women and yes, children, were known as Rebels, and what happened to them every day when their doors were knocked down, parents beaten up, belongings freely stolen, fathers and brothers taken away and shot, yes, they fought back, but they can never be described as being anything like the scum that chose innocent men, women and children as legitimate targets to blow up or murder as they did during the troubles in the 60's/70's. I wouldn't stain the soles of my shoes by treading on any single one of them.
