What the petition asks
We believe the Troubles Bill contains provisions which current and former service personnel will find insulting and should not be proceeded with.
Withdraw the Troubles Bill permanently and allow our soldiers to do their jobs without the worry of one day being dragged into court over something they did while following orders from our Government. No soldier should have to worry about the enemy in front of them and now the lawyers behind them too. We believe that only those who have never been involved with the military would think this Bill should be passed
