“Lord Saville’s inquiry into Bloody Sunday found that the Ulster massacre had no justification. John Kelly, the brother of Michael Kelly who was shot during the march at the age of 17 speaks to Charlie. Trevor Kavanagh also gives his opinion.
Gregory Campbell, DUP member for Londonderry, explains his view on the verdict.
The Sun’s Security Expert, Andy McNab says the report lacks context.”

The Saville report finds the 1972 killings “unjustified and unjustifiable,” and the paras involved may face charges.
What do you think, GML readers? Should the soldiers be prosecuted? And what will McNab have to say?

A great article – with more news about Andy McNab’s upcoming projects!
Lunch with the FT: Andy McNab
By Max Hastings
Published: June 5 2010
A defence journalist who knows McNab has said, “With Andy, everything is business.” He hustles relentlessly, and has become an eager entrepreneur. As well as owning stakes in a security company and a recruitment company (of which he is a director), he is now backing a business called Ghost Speaker, which encrypts digital content for mobile phones and electronic readers. How did that one happen? “A night out with a friend who said, ‘It’s the way ahead.’” The friend was almost certainly right. “We’re just doing a deal with Currys and Dixons.”
But McNab never forgets his core product: “The most important thing is the writing – that’s what makes everything else happen.” He works six hours a day dictating his books, and is thrilled that he has been asked to direct a film of one of them, Boy Soldier.
“Success gives you opportunities, choice. How else could I have been asked to do a film? I told them, ‘I know nothing about directing.’ They said, ‘Don’t worry – you’ll have a really good cameraman.’”

Patricia MacBride, sister of deceased IRA operative Tony McBride, has been appointed to serve as a Victims’ Commissioner in Northern Ireland.
Tony MacBride was one of the IRA members killed by Andy McNab and co. after attempting to detonate explosives outside a County Fermanagh restaurant on 2 December 1984. SAS soldier Lance Corporal Alistair Slater, from Leicestershire, was murdered by the IRA in the same gun battle, as documented in Immediate Action.
It seems to Grey Man’s Land that Slater’s family should be the ones speaking for victims, but oh, well. No response from Andy yet on this appointment.
