LONDON –  Police in Northern Ireland have arrested a 66-year-old former soldier in the 1972 Blood Sunday killings, the first such detention since the start of a murder investigation three years ago.   link
As part of the “peace process” the Blair government (among others) released IRA killers, resettled known terrorists (complete with new identities and letters of indemnity) in various countries and did numerous sleazy backroom deals in order to be able to claim credit for “peace in our time”. Everybody wins!
Everybody, that is,except for the poor bastards who are the designated sacrificial goats in this odious exercise…
Just another Brit government  following a long tradition of betrayals and bastardry.

‘..A farce. A posturing. Here a review of a policy that has saved lives and secured our borders, conducted by a discredited body including a gaggle of dictators and authoritarians:
The UN Human Rights Council’s official review of Australia’s human rights policies took place at the Palais des Nations in Geneva on Monday… Countries including Brazil, Turkey, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, Bangladesh – even Rwanda, Iran and North Korea – expressed concern over Australia’s treatment of refugees.
And this:
Countries taking part in the review also noted Australia’s inadequate treatment of Indigenous people, the high level of violence against women, and the spread of Islamophobia.
We have a “high level of violence against women” compared to whom? In what way is our treatment of Aborigines – as opposed to the outcomes – “inadequate”? And what is the distinction between “Islamophobia” and a well-founded concern on the rise of Islamist violence?…’
Obscenities such as the U.N. will continue to rule us until we start hanging some of our own politicians. Nothing short of that will get the totalitarian bastards off our backs..
