Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    The British Army switched from the use of rubber to plastic bullets in tbe late 70s early 80s. They tried to keep quiet the fact that they were testing them on pigs in Britain in case of upsetting the animal rights groups there. Yet had no qualms about maiming, disfiguring and killing children with them in Ireland. They switched even knowing that the new plastic bullets had a much worse impact on victims. If that is not target practice what is

    Is that just another conspiracy theory?

    Let them be prosecuted in front of a court. If a deal is reached to agree early release for their crimes then that bridge can be crossed. But they need to be prosecuted otherwise let the state acknowledge that they gave their security forces a licence to kill with impunity

    Did not the terrorists kill with impunity? They still walk among us.

    MOD: Not up to standard for the History Forum, no sources, just a lot of claims. If anyone is interested in continuing the discussion I'm not against starting a new thread, but it will be heavily moderated since this is such a contentious topic and unsubstantiated claims, soapboxing, or off-topic posts will be removed.
