FROM THE ROBERT HAMILL CAMPAIGN 

Subject:  New northern Ireland secretary

 The new Northern Ireland Secretary is John Reid. This is bad news for all families campaigning for justice. As armed forces minister, Reid held meetings with campaigners supporting Wright and Fisher, the two Scots Guards who  murdered Peter McBride, an unarmed man, unconnected with paramilitaries, who had just been searched by their patrol. 

The two were convicted of murder  but released early and then allowed to rejoin the army. Reid met their supporters on the grounds that he was the men's "employer". But he refused to meet Peter's mother, whose son was gunned down by his employees.
