Rejected petition: Cease prosecution of any veteran who served in northern Ireland.
Rejected on
Reverse and put in place legislations that will stop the witch-hunt of many of our armed forces from being prosecuted.
It was the government who put soldiers in difficult positions which meant young men had to make difficult decisions in the face of a terrorist organisation that used sneaky tactics to kill innocent civilians. It was the UK government who gave many known terrorists immunity while offering nothing to our veterans who are being hounded right up to veterans who are in care homes suffering from dementia.
