🚨EXCLUSIVE🚨
Furious military veterans have tonight demanded Lord Hermer resigns over his "insulting" comments about British troops hounded through the courts over sham war crime allegations.

An email obtained by The Telegraph revealed that the Attorney General had told a human rights lawyer they had done more good for society than the decorated soldiers they had falsely accused of murder and torture.

The comments have provoked outrage among retired commanders and former senior members of the Special Air Service (SAS), who demanded Lord Hermer’s “immediate resignation”, while others say Sir Keir Starmer has no option but to sack him.

Lt Col Richard Williams, a former head of 22 SAS, told The Telegraph: “Hermer demonstrates, by this message of cynical disrespect and misplaced personal superiority, that the country’s wars are nothing more than an opportunity to persecute gleefully those that fight, sacrifice and die to protect it.

“I can only assume that he looks at the brave defenders of Ukraine in the same way, and that war is nothing more than another legal business opportunity. With disloyalty of this, there can be only one cure – his immediate, unconditional resignation.”

While George Simm, who served as a regimental sergeant major of 22 SAS, called Lord Hermer a “village idiot” and said the Attorney General’s behaviour was “not acceptable”.

Mr Simm, who was twice decorated for bravery and was a linchpin in the special forces, told The Telegraph: “If he had any moral backbone, if he had a principle in his body, he would resign.”

Labour has just voted to ‘carry over’ into the next session of Parliament their appalling Northern Ireland Troubles Bill which will see veterans hounded and dragged through the courts.
Labour’s Armed Forces Minister stayed away from Parliament to duck out of voting for it - that tells you just how awful it is. A bill being pushed by Starmer & Lord Hermer.

Do you actually know if your fire extinguishers would work today?
Most businesses assume.
That’s the problem.

Out of date. Wrong type. Not maintained.
False confidence is the real risk.

Yesterday’s Appeal Court ruling by Lady Chief Justice Keegan is a welcome victory for common sense and for our veterans.
She confirmed that the coroner was right, the SAS soldier (Soldier B) was fully justified in shooting the unarmed IRA driver in Coagh in 1991. He responded proportionately to a collective terrorist threat to life, a fact already accepted at the original inquest.
Yet again we see millions of pounds of public money wasted on legal challenges that lack substance, dragging veterans and their families through years of uncertainty and hardship. This isn’t justice; it’s lawfare.
As the Northern Ireland Veterans Commissioner David Johnstone rightly says in his statement, the ‘lawfare’ strategy being used through the coronial system was never the purpose of judicial reviews. It’s a misuse of the legal system that seeks to demonise those who served with restraint and professionalism in the most dangerous circumstances.
Huge respect to the SAS, the Regimental Association, and the retired Generals who spoke out. Soldiers sent by the UK Government to face armed terrorists should not be hounded decades later.
Enough is enough. Veterans deserve fairness, not endless punishment.

Three former soldiers will appear at Belfast magistrates court on April 20th. One is charged with a killing that took place in May 1972. He is not accused of acting outside his orders. He is accused of acting within them. The distinction no longer appears to matter.

This is the reality behind Labour's Northern Ireland Troubles Bill, a piece of legislation dressed in the language of reconciliation that functions, in practice, as an engine of persecution. The state that sent these men to Northern Ireland, that gave them their orders, that relied on their judgment in circumstances no minister has ever faced, is now the state that funds the machinery pursuing them through the courts half a century later.

That is not a technicality. It is the central fact. Taxpayer money flows to the lawyers challenging the actions of soldiers whose actions were sanctioned by the taxpayer. The government calls this justice. General Sir Peter Wall, who commanded the British Army for four years, calls it something without moral backbone. He is right.

The operational consequences are already visible. Elite soldiers are leaving the SAS and SBS rather than face the prospect of prosecution decades hence for missions carried out under government orders. The crisis has become sufficiently acute that reservists are being brought into the regular SAS to fill roles vacated by those walking out. Britain's most capable fighting force is being quietly hollowed out by a bill whose architects appear indifferent to the result. Seven former SAS commanders have warned that the legislation is doing the enemy's work, that operational secrets exposed through inquiries give hostile states a narrative of lawless troops. Moscow, Tehran and Beijing do not need to discredit British special forces. Westminster is doing it for them.

The asymmetry at the heart of this legislation is not incidental. It is structural. IRA members were released under the Good Friday Agreement. Many destroyed evidence, stayed silent, or received letters guaranteeing they would not be pursued. Soldiers kept records, gave statements, and remained traceable. Decades later, only one group remains available for scrutiny. Not because they are more culpable, but because they are more reachable.

The Coagh ambush of June 1991 illustrates the logic perfectly. Three IRA men were stopped by the SAS on their way to murder someone. A coroner ruled the force used was justified. Years later a family challenged that ruling, arguing the soldier should have paused after each shot to consider whether to fire the next one. A judge described that argument as ludicrous and utterly divorced from reality. The challenge continues, funded by legal aid, heard at the Court of Appeal just days ago. No verdict ends the process. The process is the punishment.

Keir Starmer has said publicly he is absolutely confident there will be no vexatious prosecutions. Three soldiers will be in a Belfast court in sixteen days. His confidence has not reached them.

The government insists its bill provides robust protections for veterans. General Sir Nick Parker, who oversaw the final operations in Northern Ireland, says ministers do not understand the duty of the state to stand by those who serve it. The duty to stand by those who serve is contractual, not sentimental. A soldier who follows orders in a war the state authorised cannot later be offered up as payment for political convenience.

What is being constructed here is not a legacy process. It is a permanent legal industry, sustained by public money, targeting the most traceable participants in a conflict the state itself waged. The soldiers kept their records. That is now their liability.
A serious country does not behave this way. This one, apparently, does.

"Keir Starmer has said publicly he is absolutely confident there will be no vexatious prosecutions. Three soldiers will be in a Belfast court in sixteen days. His confidence has not reached them."
