I blame your gov, sent your troops in all riled up telling them the civillians are scum ffs cause they wanted equal rights in there own country They weren’t elite anything mate they were ordinary soldiers on the ground in the middle of what was effectively a war zone. I don’t know enough about the back story to comment but I can hazard a guess they didn’t need to be there and that would be the fault of the operations commander of the day. Soldiers just don’t open up on inoccent civilians if that was the case the troubles in Ireland would have been over in a month. Something triggered that shooting and somebody would have given those soldiers the orders to carry on firing. You cannot blame the troops on the ground who in reality are only doing the job they were trained for ........ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dogmandont 9,355 Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 The British army and RUC colluded with loyalist terrorists in the murdering of innocent people MI5 had information that could have stopped innocents being killed by IRA bombs but stood by and done nothing give stakeknife the green light to kill innocent people. It’s a well known fact that when billy Wright was going on his killing sprees that roads where kept clear for him and when the peace process began he was allowed to be nutted because he new to much the list could go on and on but there isn’t so much as a word about that shit from 99% of British folks because it happened here but your government had a hand in it all and that is only the tip of the iceberg. When native people are tramped into the ground you’ll usually find there is a backlash, you just have to listen to people on here talking about Muslims and they only take up 5 or 10% of the population see how you feel when it’s 60%. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Deker 3,453 Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 I really don't know what happened, but I'm struggling to believe it has taken this long to suggest individual soldiers were guilty. There have been numerous enquiries and I think the whole situation is very unfortunate. Putting someone on trial now is regrettable to say the least! Scapegoat and scapegoat comes to mind, just who is crawling to who in this debacle!? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If stating facts is dribble then that’s what it is. Do the facts annoy you or is it only your dribble we’re supposed to listen to. Typical arrogant Brit that hasn’t a clue what he’s talking about. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Atrocities on both sides where avoidable if your goverment intervened in the right way early in play 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
