Governments double standards.

Bloody Sunday inquiry costs £181m
Soldiers in Derry on Bloody Sunday
The inquiry was set up in 1998 to re-examine the events of 30 January 1972, when British soldiers shot dead 14 people in Londonderry's Bogside.

£181million and rising.
The only people who are getting anything out of this inquiry are the lawyers. When the families of those killed have a result they have already said that they are returning to Courts for COMPENSATION.
How do the families of the thousands murdered by the IRA get compensation.
And for our politicians, especially the odious Dewsbury apologist, himself an immigrant, their deaths are not an irrelevance.
For those of us who held the ground between the two factions, it is as relevant today as it was that day back in1969 when 41 Commando arrived in Belfast.
With Kosovo on the brink, has anyone had the courage to ask -what happens when Bradford declares independence?
Will the highly undermanned armed forces be forced into calling us veteran up?
There is always this talk of closure. When our Government treats it own people with such contempt, how can the families of those killed in illegal conflicts find closure?
