Could Tory pledge to protect NI veterans from legal action lead to de facto amnesty including former paramilitaries?


The Prime Minister has unveiled a plan to end prosecutions of former soldiers for killings in Northern Ireland. Boris Johnston wants to amend the Human Rights Act so that it does not apply to any incidents before October 2000, when the Act came into force. The move follows a high profile campaign by senior Tories and army chiefs to stop what they call a "with hunt" against army veterans who served in Northern Ireland. Vinny discussed this with the Ulster Unionist MLA Doug Beattie and the commentator, former Victims Commissioner Patricia McBride and retired British Army Colonel, Richard Kemp. Also, DUP Westminster candidate says online trolls will not break her. There was support from across the political spectrum at the weekend for an election candidate who was subject to personal abuse. DUP Upper Bann election candidate Carla Lockhart has thanked those who offered support. Discussing this with Vinny was News Letter's political editor Sam McBride and the journalist Amanda Ferguson.
