British government hung us out to dry says British Army veteran charged with attempted murder


Former British Army major Dennis Hutchings is charged with the attempted murder of John Pat Cunningham. 


A British Army veteran charged with the attempted murder of a man in Co Armagh has joined protesters rallying against investigations into troops who fought in the Troubles.
A small group gathered outside the Ministry of Defence in London today to demand the end to probes into historical allegations.
Others were expected to meet outside army recruitment centres across the UK to issue warnings to prospective soldiers.
Dennis Hutchings, a 77-year-old former member of the Life Guards regiment, is accused in relation to the fatal shooting of a man with learning difficulties in 1974.
He joined protesters in Plymouth.
Mr Hutchings said the historic investigations are "absolutely appalling" and called for a statute of limitations on offences for service personnel.
"We're in a situation where we're being hounded by lawyers," he added.
"The government has hung us veterans out to dry."
Mr Hutchings, from Cawsand in Cornwall, is due to stand trial in Belfast charged with attempted murder and attempted grievous bodily harm with intent. He denies the charges.
John Pat Cunningham (27) was shot in the back in Co Armagh as he ran away from an army patrol. His family argued that he ran across a field because he feared men in uniform.
Alan Barry, co-founder of the Justice for Northern Ireland Veterans pressure group and who fought with the Grenadier Guards, said: "Veterans are being thrown to the wolves.
"We laid our lives on the line for this country. We went to Northern Ireland to fight terrorism, and veterans are basically being ignored by the government."
Northern Ireland Secretary Karen Bradley has previously said there is "no support" for a "Northern Ireland-only statute of limitations".
Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) statistics have indicated more of its legacy resources are used to investigate paramilitaries.
The protesters in London planned to hand in their response to the government's consultation on legacy arrangements, before its deadline later on Friday.
The 2014 Stormont House political agreement involving the British and Irish governments and the main Northern Ireland political parties envisaged a mechanism for dealing with the legacy of violence.
It was to include the creation of an Historic Investigations Unit to probe old cases for opportunities for criminal prosecutions.

NWN: IRA terrorists were either let out of jail early, or they were given OTR/Amnesty letters by Blairs Government backed up by consecutive Governments ever since. Under the so called 'Good Friday Agreement'. May will do nothing, and has done nothing to help about all this.

But many old Army veterans like Dennis Hutchings are being pursued very vigorously by the PSNI, and then taken back to Belfast for questioning.  Harassment of our veterans must cease ! The RUC will be next to be harassed.

Many more arrests are in the pipeline.

"Common Purpose" still has to be fully exposed - Understanding how the Stasi (Big Society) deals with opposition.


Have you checked your local Press, Radio, Council, Education, Police, Church's,Housing etc and how closely linked are Common Purpose to Labours Momentum ?
