May To Outlaw Legal 'witch-Hunt' Against Troops Serving In Conflict
//The PM tells Sky News troops should know "the Government is on their side" as she moves to protect them from "vexatious claims"....."Our troops go out and put their lives on the line in order to defend us," she told Sky News Sunrise.
"This is about the Government saying to our troops, 'You have our backing, we are on your side, we're behind you in what you do.'"
In a move warmly welcomed by veterans' families and MPs, Mrs May will pledge that the European Convention of Human Rights will no longer apply to troops serving in battle.//

Good for her!

It's great that bogus claims are to be dismissed but I'm curious how you decide if they are bogus or not without investigating. It's a bit of a Catch-22 situation. I don't think though that there is any contradiction between backing our troops and holding them to high standards by investigating possible wrongdoing. Hopefully May's announcement marks the correct compromise.

Good news. The Brussels morons are still unbelievably demanding an EU army, if Britain were not to Brexit (if that's a verb) they would lose control of their forces to a centralised command, which would require an overall commander- in-chief, and that could well be a clown such as Jean-Claude Juncker. A position Napolean and Hitler would both have dreamed of, occupied by a total unelected civil servant nonentity. The ming boggles!
They key to this is easy, in war things happen that the worlds lefties and to be honest the majority of those who have never been in that position view things as atrocities, they are not they happen. No member of our armed forces should face any action for doing their job, if they break the standard Rules of Engagement military discipline deals with it, when they return from action our government must protect them!
