I don't think people are comfortable with that idea, but it should also be treated as a two way street and by that I mean the law MUST pursue and BE SEEN to pursue people who commit similar crimes against the civilian population and military of this Country.
Currently, the will to do this seems to be something sadly lacking amongst some members of the Labour leadership (if not most of them). If anything judging by their current and past choice of association one might even think they had loyalties that were elsewhere....
As for the likes of Leigh Day, I wonder how many victims of the IRA they have represented in compensation claims against known members of that Organisation or how many UK families who lost serving relatives on peace keeping missions due to actions by locals?
