Once you withdraw the accusation I will be happy to answer the question, if it really bothers you that much to know.

Originally posted by Yorkie62 View PostSo as you say, you appear to be content that members of the British Armed forces can be prosecuted but IRA terrorist can't. The British Armed forces are currently being prosecuted on OLD evidence, but IRA terrorist cannot be prosecuted using OLD evidence. Are you happy and content with the fairness and justice in that position?

Originally posted by meridian View PostOkay, so you’re going to ignore showing where I have “comfort” with that. Fine, let’s deal with the rest of your post then.
Just the IRA? Does it? Or all paramilitaries?
Yes they were sent. And you know, of course, that the Secretary of State for NI at the time, Theresa Villiers, sent out new letters afterwards advising that the original ones were legally incorrect and that they could face prosecution if there was enough evidence to bring charges?
As for why the British Army were not also exempted in the GFA, ask yourself why this might be so. Do you think there might be any other international Laws, Treaties, or Conventions (maybe one signed in Geneva) that don’t allow armies of national governments to be protected from crimes?

Originally posted by Yorkie62 View PostIt is written into the Good Friday agreement that all previous activities by IRA terrorists are immune from prosecution.
Each known IRA terrorist was sent a "comfort letter" by the UK government at the time (Labour under Tony Blair) giving the immunity as demanded as part of the Good Friday agreement by the IRA ruling council of the time.

Originally posted by meridian View PostYou haven’t explained your leap at all. Show me where I’m “quite content” that one side gets immunity but the other doesn’t, or withdraw your accusation.
Then we can have a proper conversation about the apparent discrepancies in the GFA.

Originally posted by Yorkie62 View PostSo. You are quite content that IRA terrorists get immunity from prosecution under the Good Friday agreement but British solders do not?Originally posted by Yorkie62 View PostBut is does show the bias of the Good Friday agreement. IRA terrorists have immunity from prosecution under the Good Friday agreement so why should the same not be extended to members of the Britsh Armed Forces?
You asked me to explain my leap and there you have to in your own quote. Perhaps you would now like to answer my original question.

Note for the hard of comprehension: Holding an inquest into why certain soldiers did a certain thing on a certain day, is not “protecting or rationalising” the actions of another group of people.

An abolsute fooking joke - small minded petty people doing small minded petty things.

They are fooking animals and need to be treated as such.

Be careful here - if you’re suggesting that an entire group of people should be treated as animals because of the actions of a few, then that could easily be applied to the British Army...
