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.

  1. 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).

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

    The Jihadists are in trouble now!

  3. 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.

Rules for submitting comments:

1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.

2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.

3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.

4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.

Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.

Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
