Lawfare

As if this war wasn't overlawyered enough, British soldiers in the field must now operate under the scrutiny of the Human Rights Act, which means that if a soldier puts a foot wrong, the Ministry of Defence can get the pants sued off it.

That slapping sound you hear is Jihadis everywhere high-fiving each other.

Woah woah woah! Where'd all these new articles come from? For a day, you'd written nothing and then four/five posts come up like buses (if they ever arrived at once in numbers higher than zero, which they don't).

The use of IEDs and EFPs are clearly a violation of anti landmine laws.

The Jihadists are in trouble now!

Well this is peachy. Does that mean Heinrich Himmler's kids can sue the MoD, too? He did die under suspicious* circumstances as their charge after all. Justice for blue-haired sons-of-nazis!

*If, of course, you consider a foamy cyanide pill filled mouth suspicious.
