No Birmingam Bombing inquiry
There you go folks, millions gets spent on the saville inquiry (bloody sunday) in NI and yet theres no justice for victims of IRA terrorism.
Smacks of double standards don't you think, some victims are more important than others.
If you're going to have inquirys lets have them across the board i say.

If at some time they get new evidence then ok reopen the enquiry, but until such time what would it achieve .
Did you say the same about the Bloody Sunday inquiry?
Do that too much and the're might be more bombs in Birmingham pubs.
The IRA were happy to let those men rot in jail.
So how would an enquiry help with "no new evidence that would assist us in bringing anyone to justice for the pub bombings".
At least the Bloody Sunday enquiry had perpetrators to question.
Like who?
The police will investigate it not an inquiry. I see no point in holding a new inquiry.
It was a waste of money.
The bomb obviously planted itself. Move along. Nothing to see here. ;-)
Just as scandalous is the lack of enquiry, investigation and prosecution of the police officers who lied in the initial police investigation, which saw six innocent men jailed for crimes they didn't commit.
It is the police who have said there is no new evdience that would assit with bringing anyone to justice and therefore there will be no new inquiry. It was the expected outcome.
Probably because that any further inquiry would highlight more corruption in the police force charged with the initial investigation.
That sounds like speculation with no evidence so to use the word "probably" is ott.
Without an enquiry, speculation is all that is left
Not so, an enquiry is to ask something, not to hold a formal investigation.
Have the police actually found the people who bombed the pubs in Birmingham ?
No, there is no concerted effort to investigate the crime. Which, in itself, asks even more questions.
We can be thankful that British Army killed seven teenagers in a UK town far away from London and not somewhere closer to home like say Preston or Coventry on Bristol.
Which has nothing to do as to whether it was a waste of money or not.
You are absolutely right.
One anticiaptes the IRA to kill innocent people. The IRA are a horrid terrorist organisation with violence as their means.
I do not expect the British Army to act in the same way. I do not expect taxpayers' money to fund a state run organisation to kill seven teenagers in a British town.
The people who were there.
But the BA didn't act in the same way, the BA didn't go around planting bombs in pubs and shops killing innocent people like the provos did.
And as for bloody sunday as awful as it was ...the question of why martin mcguinness was doing there armed with a tommy gun was never truly answered..the soldiers said they were fired on first...and the provos at the time were only too eager for martyrs so as to put fire in belly of the nationlist youth.
Oh like Martin McGuinness, good luck getting an interview with him as he seems to develop amnesia when the topic comes up.
