Ex-troops fear prosecutions for actions during Troubles
PLANS to repeal legislation designed to protect veterans of Northern Ireland from prosecutions will leave them with fewer rights than the “witches of Salem”, a former SAS man has claimed.

But veterans fear that allowing all unresolved decades-old incidents to be investigated by a new unit in the Republic of Ireland will leave them facing a two-tier justice system.
Soldier Z, who left the special forces in 2020, said: “The witches of Salem had a better chance of fairness facing the lynch-mob puritans, than us poor, prejudged British veterans today.”
Within the new framework are six protections for ex-troops. They will no longer be forced to go to Northern Ireland to give evidence.

IT'S A FAMILY AFFAIR
A little goes a very long way in the third chapter of director James Cameron's blockbusting franchise. Avatar: Fire And Ash is a masterclass in candyfloss storytelling, expertly fluffing around an hour of linear plot and character development into more than three hours of jaw-dropping visual spectacle that continues to push the envelope for performance capture technology.
