Lamh Foistenach Abu! If the Brits were truly apologetic they would get out of N. Ireland.
Lamh Foistenach Abu! Does the report indicate who is responsible for the decision/order to shoot?

If so, if he was truly sorry he would be pushing to try them for murder.

This sort of thing is so quintessentially 60’s liberal. Long after an event, whose consequences cannot be changed (and which are probably smaller than claimed), people who had nothing to do with its cause “apologize” to people who were not affected by it.
In some cases, the “apology” when made official by government, includes stealing money from other people (taxes), to make payments part of the “apology”.
The intended effect is to curry favor and to buy continued political loyalty.
This is what happens when the welfare state grows to the point where there are no entitlements left to give, without looking utterly absurd, or when cover is needed in making payoffs to specific groups.
It’s a wealth transfer and political bribe, pure and simple.
I find that today it is easy to understand all actions of government if you look at them entirely in terms of government revenue and wealth transfer to political favorites, or taxation to punish political enemies.
Now the bombings will begin again, only this time they will not be at empty restaurants after hours on Picadilly. They will happen during rush hour.And who will help this revenge cycle? Jihadists have long had the connection to the Northern Ireland Independence movement.Cameron is a fool.
