What makes people who are born into a free society such as ours, go and take up arms against us?
Surely they should be tried for treason as British Nationals fighting against their own country.

btw, this was on the News this morning and not a rant of the DM

em10 LOL..don't complicate the thread.

//at the invitation of Afghanistan //

that's the funniest thing I've ever heard!!

Hamid Karzai was put in place after the invasion.

that's a bit like coming home to find a squatter in your house and getting told

"It's OK the squatter who was here before me invited me in!"

[emmie]

Sqad Not complicating it at all, the two men mentioned by Bobbisox
should be sent to prison if found guilty, but you mentioned the
Mau Mau?

[Bobbisox]

I'm past caring now sqad, we've had cricket in here so what the hell?..:-)

[Ankou]

cor you lot are switching sides quicker than a talibini brummie.

[marval]

Yes, they should be tried for treason

[jake-the-peg]

Incidently treason was effectively abolished by the Statute Law Revision Act 1953,

under the notoriously pinko government of Winston Churchill

[Bobbisox]

so what could they charge them with...if guilty, of course

[Sqad]

em10....come on....sense of humour....tongue in cheek and all that....didn't you see the "LOL?"

[emmie]

The last person to mention British Nationals fighting against British soldiers and should be tried for treason was Tony Blair.

[jackthehat]

There is still a legislative mechanism for dealing with 'traitorous actions', though, and this should be implemented if the facts, in this case, are shown to be as first appears.

[Bobbisox]

em10 :o)

[jake-the-peg]

Sounds like they have not comitted an offence on British soil to me

I suggest they should be tried under Afghan law.

I wonder if they have a crime of fighting against a foreign invading force.

[emmie]

sqad i did get it, honest injun, or shouldn't i say that....

[Bobbisox]

they are said to be British jtp?
so they are fighting against an invading force..in Afghanistan, is this what you mean?

[emmie]

having a look at Sky News, it seems to indicate they are British Afghanis

[Bobbisox]

obviously living here then em?

[Bobbisox]

so why don't they go back and live under Talban rule over there instead of living here, they can't be working so I wonder what is their source of income

[emmie]

Presume so.
