Two retired soldiers have become the first members of the military to be charged with murder…they are being prosecuted over the killing of Official IRA commander John McCann, who was shot dead in central Belfast in 1972… https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2016/dec/16/two-british-soldiers-charged-over-ira-leader-murder-1972-joe-mccann
Such a pleasant sunny day here, with Christmas only just gone, but when I read that, it felt like a black cloud, the rage that flooded forth.
Only 24 hours ago, I listened to Her Majesty The Queen’s annual speech…
—————-

—————–
…but that was before I caught up with the news from Ulster.
Only a week after foul terrorism claimed the lives of innocents in Berlin, we have the rotten British establishment going after good British soldiers for taking out a terrorist swine engaged in treason.
It’s not as if this McCann was mistaken for a member of the IRA murder-gang. He’s STILL openly ‘honoured’ by his own kind for his role in the terror war against the Ulster Brits’ right to self-determination.

—-
Something of an understatement, surely, when the report says that charging the pair 42 years after McCann’s death will provoke controversy over the retrospective prosecution of members of the security forces over killings related to the Troubles.
And listen to how the legal regime’s flunkeys describe the terrorist- “The two defendants in the case are surviving members of the army patrol which shot Mr McCann.
Mr. McCann? –Do we talk about Charles Manson as MR. Manson, or the mass-murdering Al Qaeda psychopath as MR. Bin Laden?

Photographed amid flames in Eliza Street, holding an M1 carbine rifle beside the Starry Plough – Terrorist McCann in action..

The Official IRA leader was a republican legend even before his killing…
So no question of innocence!
The shooting was a public service, and a few medals, not persecution, would be appropriate recognition for their action.

==================
How proud we’d all have been of The Queen, had she used her Christmas broadcast to announce that she’ll be issuing preemptive pardons, not just for these two men being victimised by a craven establishment…
———–

———-
…but for ALL members of her armed services who took part in the war on republican evil in Ulster.
Because they’re ALL at risk in this witch-hunt.
…police officers would be reinvestigating all 302 killings carried out by British troops…at least 500 ex-servicemen, many now in their 60s and 70s, would be “viewed as suspects” during the process.
Two British soldiers to be charged over IRA leader’s 1972 murder |
God damn the swine who authorised this.
They disgrace the realm.
They should be dismissed, with loss of all pension rights. And they should be named and shamed.

Mind-boggling;
I give up on the ‘bad apple’ theory
British policing is rotten to the core, in Hertfordshire, Bristol and London.
But this Charles Hall in Hertfordshire is champion rotter.

Millions of people all over Britain, but most of all in Hertfordshire, will share your anger at that despicable Charles Hall.. He doesn’t deserve to keep the medal. He deserves a kick on the backside as he empties his desk and is escorted in disgrace from his office.
Who appoints useless chumps like that to run a county’s police force?
I ask honestly because while I support petitioning the Queen as a gesture, she has no political power.
If county councillors are responsible, they need to be told to un-appoint Hall, quickly.

I think county councillors once had the job but now I understand that each area has a Police Commissioner whose responsibility it is to appoint chief constables.
I have saved you the work of looking up who it is in Hertfordshire.
He’s a former Tory councillor and his name is David Lloyd.
I’ll let you publicise his contact details in your inimitable way!
