As to giving evidence, hearsay is not admissible.
The time comes when you have to let go.

Perhaps you're too ready to take offence on behalf of the dead.
Speaking as one of the 5,000+ soldiers injured there, I've thought long and hard about the whys and the wherefores of Northern Ireland/Ulster/The Six Counties, and it strikes me now, as it has done for the past 28 years, that if the state whose army I served in had been a little more honest and a little less willing to help maintain the status quo with regard to the Protestant hegemony, the dead and the injured would have numbered far fewer.
So I don't hold the various paramilitary units to the same standards as I do the British state. What the paramilitaries did was react to a situation created by the British state (whether directly or through the Protestant-slanted power structures in NI).
Have a look on the BBC HYS on this. Somewhat different in tenor from here.
While you're here, you can clear up whether you think the British people owe the Irish people an apology.Nice post.

Everyone is entitled to their view. Their view is not necessarily correct though.

Sas is a mercenary who joined an occupying army, like some Vlasovian dog in the GPW.
He said the hunger strikers died of their own choice. That makes him a cunt in my book.

Hardly a cunt. It's not like he's celebrating the deaths of the victims.
Whereas you're a gobshite pseudo-Stalinist whose stock-in-trade is being a tit.
On the whole, I think Sas got the better deal.
Just seen c4 news - Very moving to see the positive reaction of the victims families to the report - a vindication of a long struggle for justice. Cameron's apology also meant a great deal to them (i'm sure that plenty in his own party would have been grinding their teeth though).
Depressing to see the ulster unionist MP for Derry unable to offer a single word of graciousness to the victims or their families and going straight to 'what about all the victims of the IRA?' and 'you have to remember why the para's were on the streets in the first place'.
Was half expecting him to call for an enquiry into the siege of derry in 1689.
"My primary thoughts today are with the thousands of innocent victims of the IRA who have never had justice, nor benefitted from any inquiry into why their loved ones died.
"Thus today's jamboree over the Saville report throws into very sharp relief the unacceptable and perverse hierarchy of victims which the preferential treatment of 'Bloody Sunday' has created."
You're just a sad ole bedsit buccaneer, counting down the days.
He's coming in with his knickers in a twist trying to excuse the actions of the soldiers on that day which flies in the face of what the whole thing exposed. That as well as numerous other bone headed statements he's made in other threads regarding the conflict here makes him a cunt in my book.
I also suspect personal involvement in the whole sorry history of the troubles has caused snow-blindness, that this is actually about soldiers murdering innocent civilians and then covering it up.
What if you are a relative of one of the thousand soldiers murdered in Northern Ireland by the paramilitary scum, are you holding your breath waiting for the inquiry into their deaths? Waiting for an apology from the dregs of humanity who murdered them?
It seems that your coin has but one side.
Interesting to see if this report fingers Heath for effectively ordering Widgery to produce his appalling insulting whitewash - not that he needed much encouragement.
The report says otherwise - first shots were fired by the paras. They were not rookie, easily panicked conscripts - they are the elite of the british army. A fearsome, merciless, highly trained killing machine.
And they did their job to pefection on bloody sunday.
