May blocks 'amnesty' for soldiers facing Northern Ireland Troubles allegations

"Unfortunately it's not been done in the best way, the Northern Ireland Secretary is aware of that. She has organised a consultation to see how it can be improved.

Among those who have said Northern Ireland should be included in any"amnesty" is Tory MP Johnny Mercer, who described the memorandum as a"sucker punch", saying he found the comments"genuinely appalling". The memorandum was sent to the Northern Ireland Office and Ministry of Defence as ministers and officials were drawing up a consultation document on"addressing the legacy of Northern Ireland's past".

On Wednesday, Ms Mordaunt said:"It is high time that we change the system and provide the right legal protections to make sure the decisions our service personnel take in the battlefield will not lead to repeated or unfair investigations down the line."

The prime minister' is as guilty as the ira

No static million vet march in Londonderry? Still I suppose they wouldn't have their guns to protect the 'queen and country' from native women and children.

Traitor ! We went to N.I .to do a job and now are now being Shit on !

Londonderry!

Traitor theresa_may

Are those terrorist turned politicians going to be prosecuted also? Disgrace these soldiers put their lives on the line for us and are treated like shit afterwards , the environment they work in is not what any of us civilians have experienced and must effect them somehow..

This is a disgusting state of affairs. Armed Forces are not above the law but are licenced to kill there can be enquiries but not for public consumption. Make the forces doubt themselves and you place them in a dangerous situation. To go back 30–40-50 years is just a witch hunt.

That's yet lot now... game over for the Tories..... used to be FOR the forces NOW against.....

Sorry Mrs May but you have finally succeeded in alienating this lifelong Tory voter. 37 years since my first election, now you and the infighting and self serving MPs have put me off national politics. The sad thing is that you wont care.

Hang us out to dry Theresa. Why are we surprised at this

Time for our armed forces to strike. May has shown her willingness to stab our loyal soldiers in the back.

Typo , does my OCD in ..it’s Londonderry 👍🏻

Good. No one is above the law especially when you murder unarmed innocent civilians and use their skulls as an ashtray. Hard to understand how people support this vile conduct from those serving the Crown.

Why

She deserves to go just for that

Was that one of jeremycorbyn demands to help her out of the dog mess she has created. We all know his links to them. 🤔👎

Leftist pressure groups that celebrate imported terrorists are behind this.

The reason this is happening is because in 1972 the British Gvt & the Parachute Regiment lied about Bloody Sunday. They then maintained that lie for 40 years until the Saville Inquiry exposed this. Unjust actions occurred on all sides including the British Gvt & its military.

Wasn’t the Good Friday agreement an amnesty for terrorists?

all ex service men and women should pay their respects to the fallen on remembrance sunday and at the london cenotaph as we march past the politicians we should give them the two finger salute and drop white feathers...

How does this sit with their duponline compatriots, who were complaining in the HoC on Wednesday ? IF the soldiers 'overstepped ' the mark then they should be chased. But they sat with the people in the NI Assembly who May said she would have had to also give amnesty to.
