DUP Slam SDLP Leader For Naming Soldier F
SDLP leader Colum Eastwood has been condemned for naming Soldier F in the UK's Houses of Parliament.
Describing Mr Eastwood's actions as "reckless and downright dangerous", DUP East Londonderry MP Gregory Campbell said: "I will be writing to the Speaker and the Commissioner for Standards. The Foyle MP's behaviour falls well below that expected of someone in his position especially when the courts have made clear that to name this person could jeopardise life.
"The DUP does not believe in an amnesty for anyone who perpetrated wrongful actions. Far too many terrorists have already been released early. Everyone must be equal under the law."

I would like to thank the public and local residents in advance for their cooperation and ask that they comply with all temporary traffic restrictions while these much needed works are completed."
