Former army chief's fury over ex-soldier Troubles prosecutions. @COLRICHARDKEMP says he'll return his officer's Commission in protest - he spoke to @vinnybelfast this morning
"I'm sick of hearing soldiers who fought to protect the citizens of Northern Ireland being compared with terrorists who set out deliberately to murder, maim and intimidate those same citizens." Those are the words of Colonel Richard Kemp. The former army chief has hit out at what he says are "soldiers being hounded through the courts". And he says he will now return the Commission awarded to him by the Queen. Colonel Kemp spoke to Vinny this morning.
