It is shocking to hear that the media have shown little, if any, interest in the evidence of some soldiers’ shocking misbehaviour during the Troubles, currently being recounted by members of the military at the inquest being held in the Belfast high court (The lack of coverage of the Ballymurphy inquest is a scandal, 27 May). At least the Guardian has printed this report by Roy Greenslade (to whom much acknowledgment is due) in the Media section, but why no daily reports, and why no comment? In fact Phil Miller and Steve Sweeney have been providing regular updates on the trial, including Gow’s testimony, in the Morning Star, which was a “daily national newspaper” the last time I checked.
