Amnesty should be given to Troubles soldiers, says MordauntDefence secretary would extend veterans’ amnesty to Northern Ireland The enquiry into Bloody Sunday exposed damning evidence of the atrocities that day, this isn't about mistakes being made on the battlefield, innocents were targeted & murdered! The cognitive dissonance that I just can't get my head around with this is that the victims in NI would, regardless of the victim's beliefs, have been British citizens. Essentially the British government is giving an amnesty to those who committed crimes against Brit. citizens. Would an amnesty be given if it were soldiers shooting at innocent people on the streets of London? I think we all know the answer to that.

Same place they found monies to give to DUP as a sweetner. Jeremy Hunt is way out of his depth in this position..mumbling, stumbling, he has no gravitas or authority whatsoever..I think he knows it too.. Extra money from defense must pay social needs because there are not any external enemies

Mordaunt’s muddled amnesty won’t work – and sends a dangerous message | Jonathan FreedlandSoldiers should never be above the law, says Guardian columnist Jonathan Freedland As far as Northern Ireland is concerned it should.

Mordaunt to give veterans amnesty for battle crimesDefence secretary to consult on proposals for offences committed over 10 years ago Why I wouldn’t usually agree with this, as war crimes are war crimes, but frankly speaking this one sided bullshit over The Troubles whereby British soldiers are guilty yet the slimy Irish pricks who made up the IRA are roaming free and pardoned for murdering kids is just shit. war crimes are war crimes. Doesn't matter how much time has passed.
