The Consultative Group On The Past is to recommend that the government pays £12000 compensation to the families of every victim of the troubles.
They say that all should be treated equally be they child, passer by, soldier or paramilitary.
It would mean for instance that the UVF men killed by the bomb they were planting, will be treated the same as the innocent members of the Miami Show Band that they killed.
Nationalist politicians are generally in favour, Unionists against.

It does not seem right to me, but I am an outsider.
