Sorry to disappoint you Chaz but Piper is going to be a church.
Ridiculous trial and thankfully the right decision
A British army veteran has been found not guilty of murder in relation to Bloody Sunday, when the Parachute regiment shot dead 13 civil rights protesters in Derry in 1972.
Soldier F was on trial for two murders and five attempted murders during a defining event of Northern Ireland’s Troubles.
Mr Justice Lynch gave the ruling at Belfast crown court on Thursday, five weeks after the start of the long-awaited trial that was closely watched by nationalists, army veteran groups and the British and Irish governments. The judge presided over the case without a jury, which is permitted in exceptional cases.
Soldier F, a former lance corporal, had pleaded not guilty to the murders of James Wray and William McKinney and the attempted murder of five others. Granted anonymity by a court order, he was concealed in the dock by a curtain.
British troops shot 31 civilians on the day of the protest, killing 13. Another casualty who died four months later is widely considered a 14th victim.
Relatives of the dead campaigned for decades for prosecutions and said the trial of Soldier F was momentous. Army veteran groups have called it a witch-hunt.

When you get fined for pouring coffee into the drain at the side of the road or putting an empty envelope into a litter bin then you know this country is well and truly ****ed
Some very round numbers for a lot of countries there!!?? I might not be Einstein, but something tells me those numbers might not actually be that accurate
Sorry mate but those are unsourced nonsense numbers.

Anyway, it's good to see us top of the league for something, although I am not convinced we will stay there. Just when you think we will win, Italy or Spain or Germany will beat us

Agree. At least the coffee fine was overturned by the council. Don't know about the envelope story.
In Russia they are not arrested they are removed..
8/10, points deducted for lack of gravy.
I wouldn't know. But the 2023 numbers were pulled out of the arse of someone who makes a living out of **** stirring so...
