How much lower can Starmer’s Government get in a witch hunt against our Service Personnel?

Posted by Liz Dance on 20/4/2025, 8:28 pm

If Starmer carries out this treacherous act against our service people he should be shot, it makes my blood boil how our servicemen are treated, it is annoying when you think that, when the Peace Process was ongoing in Northern Ireland the awful Tony Blair and Mo Mowlam went out if their way to protect IRA terrorists, they received letters exempting them from prosecution, no wonder going into the Military is something not to many people do these days.

Our Service Personnel should be protected from witch hunts, they deserve this protection - Shame on this disgusting Government.

I agree with you totally Liz. The Tories had a bill going through Parliament to stop the soldiers being accused when they lost the election, instead of it going ahead this Labour lot are killing it.

Totally outrageous!

All Service personnel have Rules of Engagement, and they do vary, depending on the situation.

Big difference between, say, the Falklands, where every combatant was in uniform, basically, no need to give a warning, that i will fire upon you...it was a given...

In NI, different scenario, heavily dependent on intelligence, who was doing what, and where, and to whom..

Where clear warnings HAD to be given, usually, unless those warnings would cause a loss of life, which was often the case....

So opening fire without warning, as often happened with the SAS involved, was because of that intelligence....

You CANNOT judge the actions back then, sitting around in your armchairs, judging people in "life or death" situations....

This government are despicable...

They have always looked for blame for the actions of the IRA and compensation of course, the whole episode should now be forgotten and let people live their lives, full stop

Surely Labour supporters must be disgusted with this bunch of lying, greedy bunch of amateurs running their Party now. People like Lammy slowly making himself wealthy before he gets sacked, Reeves the Bank assistant liar who pretended to be something she wasn't so they gave her the Chancellors job, Rayner the Chava & Union Leader without any Qualifications other than a big mouth.
Not a good one amongst them.
