Accurately put. We must be the only country in the world that seems determined to persecute its own soldiers in this way; our politicians should hang their heads in shame. They are always keen to pose with the military when it might offer a photo op but very few are willing to protest this absurd charade. The thanks of a grateful nation?
It was a serious bad time, but we're orders given by whoever? And or is government trying to hide/cover up something?
From a documentary about the murder of Pat Finuchan, his son and Wife met with Cameron if are aware of that.
As well as both sides were used also! Plus there is the documentary on Glen Ann Gang, that came out by an English Investigative Journalist. A few years ago.
With respect, I think that misses the point. There is no new evidence to consider- this is purely about getting a former British soldier convicted of murder decades after the event to suit a re-writing of history. Even then, perhaps it could be justified had there been no previous investigations or Enquiry but there have. Most galling of all, the people who murdered and tortured indiscriminately have been pardoned long ago. A soldier, though, doing the bidding of his political masters on behalf of his country will be pursued until death. This stinks.
Exactly - the question is why, given the form of political class. Says to me you all are being used as scapegoats - but for what and or who
Cameron told the Finuchans re Pat Finuchan, a Solicitor, that he had done all he could but couldn't take it any higher, or words to that affect, to which the Finucans said on camera they were surprised/shocked as they thought that was Cameron. Though now it is known that a prime minister is powerless, allegedly.
