Why Scrapping Legacy Act Denies Justice To Veterans

In this episode of One More Mission from justiceforveterans.uk, former Parachute Regiment Lt Col Simon Barry dissects the Labour government's rush to demolish Johnny Mercer's Northern Ireland Legacy Act.What was sold as an "imperfect but best available" solution to decades of festering legacy disputes is now being torn down—reviving civil claims that Barry calls a taxpayer-funded "gravy train" for lawyers. Elderly veterans face repeated courtroom ordeals on a brutally tilted playing field, where soldiers' meticulous records clash with the IRA's vanished evidence and Good Friday deal perks.Barry slams ECHR overreach as "process trumping justice," exposes Keir Starmer's Iraq prosecution zeal, and warns of deepening sectarian wounds fuelled by Dublin's hypocrisy. Politicians posture in camouflage while voting to undermine those who served.Veterans want justice, not impunity — a fair crack of the whip. Barry urges bottom-up fightback: lobby local MPs, hit local media, stand firm with skin in the game.Listen now for unfiltered truth from the front lines of legacy lawfare.
