is it the UK though, or is it just the south african nepobaby manchild? "it" is certainly happy to pour oil on any fire. Also, who is still idiot enough to still use shitter?

Yes, there’s an injunction in the UK against naming him, because of supposed danger to his life. The government also spent about 4 million pounds defending him in court. He was cleared of all charges of course - I’m guessing that if they punished all of the British soldiers who murdered Irish folks in cold blood, that might clog up the courts.

My apologies, I didn't mean to make it sound like I didn't believe the UK government was protecting their fascist mass murderers. I hope they get haunted by the faces of those they murdered for the rest of their lives.

There are also a bunch of literal IRA and UVF terrorists who are free. They were released after the Good Friday Agreement.

Sure, soldiers should not be stooping to their level, but to act as if it is unfair just isn't painting the whole picture. The general attitude towards the troubles has been "forgive and forget" and it has largely worked.

There is no justification for Bloody Sunday

So fucking what? Military executing unarmed civilians is not comparable at all, where you dropped on your head as a baby?
