Veterans minister resigns.

@just pumps will probably try to divert attention by talking about cleaning his boat, or drinking beer, next.

If you wish to go off topic again <sigh>, what happened to your post in that thread, oh yeah I remember, it got removed!

Damning indictment of Boris when one of his own ministers says that nobody in Boris's government tells the truth.

You're right, it is.

It's terrible to see that we have so many people in this country willing to support a known liar who is known to be deceitful, dishonest and incompetent.

Hair cuts is another deflection favourite of Bozza the Liar, sycophants.

Just pumps is happy to be lied to - until it affects him personally. What a shoite state of affairs.

On Preston last night he wouldn't criticise Boris as he appreciates he is the PM with many strings to the government bow to manage. Its the departmental ministers and other hangers on who have more interest in the greasy pole of promotion than delivering the Bill, that gets his goat. In particular, the Northern Ireland Office.
The Chief Whip wouldn't even let him resign honourably in the House of Commons, but sacked him by text!!
Despite it all, he continues to have the full support of us veterans and will continue to argue our case from the back benches where he will not pull his punches.

Our PM gained his Bozza the Liar status long before he became PM.

I can remember the days when British soldiers were posted to NI.
I had a mate in the army who told me how it was....it was dangerous and stressful.

No veteran should face procescution decades later.

Even if any evidence suggests that people were murdered?

After all some are quick to condemn those who may have simply talked about peace with Sinn Féin decades ago. And who also attack the peace agreement for what it meant for dropping prosecutions against loyalists and republicans...

Double standards!

Yet more speculation to create a post eh!

Mercer is well respected by serving forces as well as vets. He is generally, as Doug alluded above, being praised for an uncharacteristic show of integrity from a minister. He has a track record which rises above the he said/she said bs about sacked or resigned.

He is despised by those who adore and fawn over liars....

Let him have his 15 minutes in the headlines, just sour grapes as he was on his way out anyway!

Seems like a decent bloke who despises liars also - and rightly so.

There's no statute of limitations for unlawful killing.
