        This decision to prosecute two brave men 44 years on is or should be seen as a national disgrace Shocking beyond words

        44 years on no sensible evidence based decision is realistic. This is hindsight and politics and nothing to do with justice

        Absolutely scandalous especially when murdering IRA members have been granted immunity from prosecution. #stopitnow
