He also discusses why contrary to some opinions, the inquest and finding out the truth helps to heal the divisions of the past, pressure on Prime Ministers from elements of the British government which allegedly didnt want the truth to come out, the brutality of the Parachute Regiment as described by witnesses, an alleged culture of immunity for loyalists and the British Army for crimes in Northern Ireland, whether theres any hopes for prosecuting those in command of Operation Demetrius, the families prioritising the pursuit of justice over an apology from Boris Johnson and much more
