The Good Friday agreement basically gave the paramilitaries a free pass and wiped the slate clean for some pretty vile murderers.
The same courtesy was not extended to the British military personnel whe were in essence doing all they could with the resources they had to protect the live of innocent people, both in the province and on the mainland.
The GFA was far from fair.
Well I would disagree. The GFA did no such thing, although the authorities may not have pursued so called terrorists as ardently as family victims did of the security forces that were supposed to be keeping the peace.
The only reason I say supposed terrorists, is that there is the crux of the issue with those that are pursuing the paratroopers in the Bloody Sunday, as an example.
These people were not terrorists and whether they believed in it or not they were British civilians and this would not have been tolerated anywhere else in Britain.
Listen I don’t want to go over that old wound but more recently the Stormont House Agreement was in 2014 and it didn’t grant any amnesty to paramilitary atrocities prior to the GFA either.
As I said in a previous post. This doesn’t just affect British soldiers accused of crimes, it also affects killed soldiers families who have no recourse to the law if amnesty is granted. Because amnesty will also have to include paramilitaries.
I’m not saying Yae or Nae to the amnesty idea either. But as recent as 2014 everyone signed up to a process that didn’t choose to forget any of the victims and Boris, it seems, has yet again chosen to go were the votes are and piss on relationships outside of England.
