This afternoon, the British Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, Brandon Lewis, will set out plans to introduce an amnesty for British soldiers who went on to the streets and gunned down innocent civilians in Derry, in Ballymurphy and beyond. This is an amnesty for state and non-state actors who acted on behalf of and in collusion with the British state. These are people who always believed they would never be held to account for their actions and that the truth behind Britain's dirty war in Ireland would remain forever hidden by the British state. It turns out they were right. This is an insult to victims and their families. It is an act of absolute bad faith on the part of the British Government. It has left victims, survivors and their families believing this is a fait accompli and that this unilateral action from the British Government means the Stormont House Agreement has been binned.
