Seems like they did the usual trick of waiting until everyone is dead,before issuing some half arsed apology.

Works a treat every time.

To be honest the bulk of the population are not really going to be bothered about this, probably because it doesnt affect them personally, but the moves by the gmnt to make it even harder to prosecute soldiers, who have gone beyond what is acceptable, is no surprise whatsoever.

All this stuff should have been dealt with at the time. Never gonna satisfy everyone trying to deal with it fifty years later.

How do you suggest it could have been dealt with 50 years ago, when the armed forces of the state were murdering their own people, the police, justice system and ploiticans covered up the actions of the army, very hard to deal with these things when every branch of government and civil service conspire in murder and protection of the murderers

. There can be no justification for even considering the prosecution of soldiers . They were simply men doing their job and did not get up in the morning with the intention of either injuring or hurting anyone. They were there to protect the residents of Northern Ireland, most of whom support the forces of law and order. The IRA were unable to sustain support via a ballot box and instead of accepting democracy engaged in a sustained terror campaign involving murder , seriously injuring people and a vicious campaign of intimidation.

How would you like to have to have bullet proof windows in your house and check your car every day for undecorated bombs before using it .

As far as I am aware the IRA and various republican organisations have never apologised for the numerous innocent people that they either injured or murdered. Not only that , they were responsible for long term economic damage to the economy in Northern Ireland.

Simply speaking to a police officer or providing a service such as construction was sufficient to see you murdered. What type of society is that in which to live.

ya those pesky catholic/nationalists people, if they could only accept their place as 3rd class citizens in there own country, be happy with sub standard services, primitive housing, no employment prospects, and recognise that the protestant/unionists majority were there superiors and masters, if only they had accepted all these things there would never been any trouble in northern Ireland

The ballot box wasn't any use for Nationalists and or Catholics due to gerrymandering.

Going forward the ballot box will be important as Catholics are now the majority in Northern Ireland

The reality is in Ballymurphy innocent unarmed men women and children were murdered by the British army

The same regiment also murdered innocent Protestant civilians days later on the shankill road.

As for the NI debate. According to NI Direct. The nationality for NI is British, Irish or Both.

And you have a link to the page on NI Directs

Website where this is stated .

To prove your post.is correct of course

P.S why has NI Directs home page have 2 languages on it ?

English & Gaelige ?

Here you are -

https://www.nidirect.gov.uk/articles/about-northern-ireland

So not a direct link but a homepage with a

Link to citizenship .

Which proves what I said originally

about the Belfast Agreement .

Which has Superceded the Nationality Act .

It accepts that neither is superior or dominant.

I never said either is superior or dominant. You have been arguing for hours that NI isn't British. It is, it's British, Irish or Both. Whichever the individual chooses.

In view of NI direct it is British & Irish .

To me its Really Roman French .

After the Breton people who moved to

France who are in fact just Celts .

Breton being Brittany in France .

So in fact just European or we could even say

Earthly .

I like to have a good fliw in the discussion.

This was about Ballymurphy & The inquest being finished

Someone decided to re route the chat ,

So i decided to .

Just for the fun if it on a boring afternoon for me

Hioe you dont mind .

Fair enough.

I don't mind at all "

Shall we get back on point

The Coroner stated

Innocent people were murdered

The government apologised

Nobody went to jail for it .

The disdain by the uk authorities

For a certain section of

The population of Northern Ireland

Is truly shameful .

How many ira murders have gone unsolved and some who have been have been released, two terrorists have been in the highest posts in the power sharing agreement, some need to look at their own side for those who committed murder and got away with it.

Works a treat every time.

To be honest the bulk of the population are not really going to be bothered about this, probably because it doesnt affect them personally, but the moves by the gmnt to make it even harder to prosecute soldiers, who have gone beyond what is acceptable, is no surprise whatsoever."

. No member of the forces or police force were allowed to commit murder. Unlike the IRA they were fully accountable for all their movements. I do not think the IRA kept a log of their members movements or supplied it to the police for the purposes of investigating terrorist offences including numerous murders .

There may be a very small number of cases where there is a possibility that innocent people died . If you were a member of the security forces you had split second in which to make a instant decision about saving your life . The IRA were ruthless criminals who ignored the ballot box, were only supported by a very small minority and murdered and maimed innocent people constantly during the troubles . In the circumstances members of the security forces were hardly going to carry out a full risk assessment before taking action. They had to take immediate action to save their lives . Most IRA members were truly horrible people. In some cases , girls even chatted up men and lured them to their death.

Where innocent people lost their lives it was not deliberate. The people to blame are the IRA for creating the situation in the first place.

Imagine being pelted with bricks, having petrol bombs thrown at you and hearing gunfire in the background. You hsve a split second to save your own life.

People are now attempting to re write history

1 How can you jail someone for an unsolved murder ?

2 People who have been released have been in Jail.

3 who are the 2 "terrorists" you are naming ?

4 this doesnt do anything to appease the families of

10 innocent people murdered .

Use of the word terrorist is very strong considering its used to deacribe the IRA. Ballymurphy were acts of terrorism by the British Army covered up by the state, Bloody Sunday was an act of terrorism covered up by the state.

I think people in England need to open their eyes and see what actually goes on. You will never hear of the countless murders by the British army here because they were less publicised and less in number not mentioning the fact the amount of kids the army killed.

Your policy was to cover it up across the Irish sea and make no mistale about it your policy is to cover it up in Afghanistan & Iraq too.

Of any activity in the UK , strange that for 1 supposedly

There is no pressure in shooting a child dead that has a pint of milk or a priest waving a white hankie.

Soldiers singing wheres your papa gone to the murdered victims family.

People think oh the IRA where as bad, the IRA were not the Governement.

Collusion, shoot to kill, divide and conquer have all been a dirty political game the Brits have employed the world over. "

Im afraid i am not mistaken .

You just misread my post .

I quite clearly stated McGuiness was never

Jailed in the UK .

I am well aware he spent time in an Irish Jail .

It is hardly a like for like comparison.

The IRA were cold blooded murders who killed and maimed numerous innocent people, many for simply doing their jobs

Arms soldiers were not going to use their weapons, they were simply there to protect them .

The majority of the population support the forces of law and order. The intimidation that the IRA carried out against nationalists who did not support their cause was disgracefull.

Seems like they did the usual trick of waiting until everyone is dead,before issuing some half arsed apology.

Works a treat every time.

To be honest the bulk of the population are not really going to be bothered about this, probably because it doesnt affect them personally, but the moves by the gmnt to make it even harder to prosecute soldiers, who have gone beyond what is acceptable, is no surprise whatsoever.

Let's get this straight the brits where allowed to murder catholics, you only need to watch the documentarys ,ballymurhy they were nothing but murder bastards and should be brought to justice

That's the second time you've referred to soldiers as 'murdering bastards'.

Have you ever ben in a war zone? And come under the immense pressure that soldiers do? Have you ever had to make those split second decisions that may change your whole life forever?

Maybe you shouldn't cast such aspersions unless you've walked in their shoes.

I agree.

I wouldn't wanna do it.

But on the flip side if that line is crossed..there should be some sort of justice.

Otherwise we have no right to call anyone terrorists as we are no better.. Agreed however even soldiers are innocent till proven guilty.

Dont think anyone has argued any differently?

Really? what about "murdering bastards" that has been mentioned a few times on this thread?

Maybe they refer to the soldiers who killed innocent people?

Not until it is proven, if we are still talking about Ballymurphy

"

It doesnt need to be proven

The Coroner has clearly stated that excessive force was used .

What you are saying is that individuals

Might be innocent .

WHAT the coroner is actually saying is the

Unit, the battalion, the heirachy is

All guilty collectively .

However SOME members of the armed forces did use there

weapons to murder innocent people .

They never faced Jail or the threat of jail .

Unlike the " terrorists" who did .

This is not soldiering on trial .

This is bad soldiering on trial .

Please understand the difference .

The innocent people murdered by some nationalist terror gangs was equally disgraceful pat ..

To keep pretending otherwise is naive and an insult to the innocent victims whomever they were in that time..

However if you wanted to take a slightly more rational or objective approach it would be necessary to list everyone who died in the troubles and why. I do not think anyone disputes the fact that the main perpetrators of murder, violence and intimidation were the IRA . You cannot just list a few deaths that might suit your narrative and ignore thousands of others. As things stand the majority of the population in Northern Ireland support the forces of law and order.

Everyone who died in the troubles

Would be impossible to list .

Cromwell would be the main starting point

We could then see that in fact the biggest perpetrators

Of death were in fact those non native

to the island of ireland .

There can be no justification for even considering the prosecution of soldiers . They were simply men doing their job and did not get up in the morning with the intention of either injuring or hurting anyone. They were there to protect the residents of Northern Ireland, most of whom support the forces of law and order. The IRA were unable to sustain support via a ballot box and instead of accepting democracy engaged in a sustained terror campaign involving murder , seriously injuring people and a vicious campaign of intimidation.

How would you like to have to have bullet proof windows in your house and check your car every day for undecorated bombs before using it .

As far as I am aware the IRA and various republican organisations have never apologised for the numerous innocent people that they either injured or murdered. Not only that , they were responsible for long term economic damage to the economy in Northern Ireland.

Simply speaking to a police officer or providing a service such as construction was sufficient to see you murdered. What type of society is that in which to live. "
