    I'm not sure what a copper has to do with this?

    If a copper locked up a terrorist and kicked him to ****. I'd like to think we would just ignore their actions. See Mr Adebolajo for example. It wasn't a copper that twatted him, it was a screw. The terrorist lost his case and no charges were brought to the screw. Happy days <ok>

    Yeah I like and very much agree with the general point even if I feel differently about this as it's a very specific case.

    And those those killed earlier in life than they should have been by the IRA etc.

    What about them?

    That's right, their killers got a pardon.

    Loads of veterans are returning their medals. It's ****ing heartbreaking.

    Don't, mate. It would be a pointless exercise. You've ****ing earned them.

    The best suggestion I've seen so far is for every vet to boycott the remembrance at the Cenotaph. That will send out a loud and clear message.

    I'm gobsmacked by Fosse's attitude with this.

    It was all worthless, when the country can stab you in the back.

    Let them look after themselves.

    Oh, and **** fosse.

    Enquiry long overdue mate ... seems completely unfair that Harold Godwinson had to come straight from a fixture against the Danes at Stamford Bridge to take on William the Bastard and the French on the sloping pitch of Senlac Hill ... my suspicion is that UEFA influenced the FIFA fixture computer because of their anti-English bias .... I doubt that a no deal Brexit will improve things going forward either <ok>

    My attitude is simply that the wearing of a uniform / passage of time should never be grounds for absolving murder ... if it was murder ... I am not judging this particular case ... any army, anywhere, any time ...

    I still love you, Fosse. We are world's apart on this. If both sides were charged then I would reluctantly relent that you have a point.

    The fact that the IRA murderers have been pardoned is one big ****ing sticky point for me.

    Since the start of the troubles, how many IRA went to jail compared to British soldiers? Plenty of IRA went to jail and did the time, to say they're getting off scot-free is absolute horse-****.

    so you don't think the IRA sent to prison in the 70's and 80's did do any time? Never heard of the Maze?

    A botched warning call by the IRA caused or contributed to the deaths of 21 people killed in the 1974 Birmingham pub bombings, an inquest jury has concluded.

    Two bombs exploded in the Tavern In The Town and the Mulberry Bush pub in the city centre on 21 November 1974, leaving more than 200 people injured.


    Nobody has ever successfully been brought to justice for the attack.

    They were/still are vermin , ( the IRA, not the normal peace loving fenian) their now trying to rewrite history ,its not about justice it's about compensation and them trying to justify their actions over the 38 years of the troubles ,

    I knew about this event, I think around 7,000 bikers turned up for it.
