Legal action, boycotts and growing anger at Legacy betrayal

Former Parachute Regiment Lt Col Simon Barry sets out a clear position on the Government’s Troubles legislation—and where it leaves those who served.This is not another discussion about wording or intent. It is about consequences.Barry backs the stance taken by the SAS Regimental Association: legal action promised, and a boycott of inquests and inquiries on the table. The reasoning is direct. If the system lacks fairness, balance, and finality, then continued participation becomes part of the problem, not the solution.The episode examines:·       Why the claim of “robust protections” does not stand up under scrutiny·       How repeat investigations, evidential thresholds, and disclosure create a one-sided process·       What “the process is the punishment” means in practical terms·       Why confidence in the system has broken down·       What a boycott would actually look like in law and practice·       Whether other regimental associations will stand with the SAS position —o r remain passiveBarry also addresses the wider implications. This is not confined to a small group of veterans. It reaches into families, communities, and, crucially, those still serving. What happens here will be noted by those expected to operate under the same system in future.This episode does not attempt to smooth the edges. It sets out a position that is already hardening — and asks a simple question:Who stands with it?Listen to the One More Mission podcast from justiceforveterans.uk.
