So the police are now going to investigate charges of murder 40 years after the event, following the findings of the 12 year long, £195million inquiry by Lord Saville.

This latest investigation could last another 6 years at a cost close on £8m.

What about the 53 men that the The Parachute Regiment lost, who is to investigate their murder? but then all these terrorist killers have been released and treated with respect by our politicians.

If there were any charges to be made for the killing of those on 'Bloody Sunday' then they should have taken place at the time. not 46 years after at a cost of £203m.

The problem for those who think it's ok for unarmed civilians to be ginned down by military personnel is this: how can you then condemn the shooting of unarmed civilians by terrorists? Is it not better to demand the same standards of behaviour from those who would uphold the law? What was going on in Derry on 30 January 1972 was a protest march held in a highly charged and tense atmosphere admittedly but it was not a conventional war situation. There were many instances of British soldiers killing combatants and a few non/combatants during the Troubles. Most did not attract the sense of outrage that this particular incident provoked. That it was not typical of the behaviour of British soldiers generally only makes it seem all the more shocking

In the 1973 referendum on remaining part of the UK, more than half of the electorate in Ulster voted and of those, almost 99% voted to remain as part of the UK

ummmm: "MoonRocker - both me and GFT answered. It WASN'T a war. Simple" - no I was talking about the parallel with other innocents killed in wars"

And where did I say they did?

Some don't even 'fly' the Union Flag in mainland Britain, that is all part of the trouble.
