Bloody Sunday by Douglas Murray6/2/2023 Tony Blair provided them with ‘letters of assurance’ as part of the peace agreement. Meanwhile, known IRA killers are residing in Spain and Portugal untouched by British justice. But, the vast majority of the army and police deaths have gone un-investigated. Yet, their crimes go unresolved.ĭuring the so-called troubles, 722 British Army and police personnel died at the hands of the terrorists. In the same way, it's also clear that the actions of the IRA terrorists contributed to events. One can only feel for the families involved. The Saville Inquiry concluded that innocent people died that day this is irrefutable. Although, whether the man can get a fair trial given the circumstances is another matter. That Soldier F acted the way he did is now a matter for the courts. A retired lance corporal, who is over 70 years old, is carrying the can for the politicians, the army chain of command and the terrorists. And yet, there is a distinct imbalance when it comes to accountability for what unfolded. This pivotal event cast a long shadow over Northern Ireland and it drove many into the ranks of the terrorists. Thirteen people died that day at the hands of the British Army. Arising from events in January 1972, Soldier F is to face charges of murder. Further evidence that the UK is slipping down the rabbit hole is the announcement this week about ‘Bloody Sunday’. Once again, Kipling’s “poor bloody infantry” is taking the rap.
