Lord Hermer troop "witch hunt"

[macron]

Telegraph has been getting a boner for this for a few weeks, but not being widely reported.

It seems Labour really doesn't want any sort of defence...

It comes as no surprise that Starmer would appoint as AG someone who appears to hate the armed forces of the country and indeed the country in general.

Nobody listened to the people who had lived through previous Labour governments.

What a piece of st that tt is

The issue that really finished Hermer for me was that despite them suspecting all along that the claims against UK troops might be false, when it became absolutely clear that the claims were indeed a pack of lies without merit, Hermer continued to press that they should try to get 50k per person payouts.. His argument being that the British government and MoD might decide that such a payout was cheaper resolution than the potential legal costs of going to court.

As said on another thread "Not worth wasting a bullet on that treasonous motherfking shyster"

It's disgusting.

Low grade scumbag grifting lawyers, no wonder they all hang out together.

Not a lot of brains, just a severe lack of morals and honesty.

Shouldn't come as a surprise that government policy has been bending to help out with the grifts, whether that's Chagos or the Northern Ireland Troubles Bill.

Just Traitorous Scum.

I recently went to see Johnny Mercer speak at a company event. Hugely impressive man; I went on to read his book, We Were Warriors - thoroughly recommended.

He absolutely skewered Starmer and his human rights lawyer buddies. The concept of Human rights in and of itself is a good thing. But applying it to a scenario where there's a split second decision to made about killing or being killed is wholly inappropriate.

Those s know that full well. And still they proceed. s of the highest order.

It's almost as if being treasonous cannot apply if you are in government.

Remind me why we tolerate this.

Make it make sense.

We tolerate it because options for objecting are limited.

They do it because they can and because there's money in it.

I take a bet he made no mention of Colonel Dudly Giles.

So much so that he refused to commit Britain's armed forces to Trump's activities in the Middle East.

Not sure the connection really.

The choice of Hermer as AG was made knowing full well what he was and what he represented. There was no political advantage from it either, no faction being paid off as with some other appointments. This was who Starmer is and that is why it comes as no surprise.

He's not saying that abuses don't happen - of course they do.

What he's saying that a systemic and never ending process of forensically the actions of every single individual serving in the armed forces is inappropriate.

Starmer & co have been trying to create an industry round it like financial miss-selling. Odious behaviour.

I've been banging on about Starmer, Shiner and Hermer's persecution of British soldiers for months. No one really seems to care. Disgusting group of individuals.
