More idiocy from Suicidal Britannia: “British soldiers may not hold their enemies in Afghanistan as prisoners for longer than 96 hours because to do so would breach their human rights, a judge ruled yesterday. It means that Taliban chieftains captured by British troops must be freed to fight again within four days.” But as the newly freed Taliban jihadis are killing more British soldiers, with their dying breaths they can thank God and Mr. Justice Leggatt that they didn’t violate anyone’s human rights.
“Taliban can’t be held more than 96 hours decides judge: Human rights ruling could hinder our troops in all wars, warn top brass,” by Steve Doughty, Daily Mail, May 3, 2014 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
British soldiers may not hold their enemies in Afghanistan as prisoners for longer than 96 hours because to do so would breach their human rights, a judge ruled yesterday.
It means that Taliban chieftains captured by British troops must be freed to fight again within four days.
The judgment – which followed claims brought by four Taliban commanders now held in Afghan jails – alarmed military chiefs and politicians.
They believe soldiers should not be asked to fight and die on the battlefield according to the letter of human rights law.
The 117-page High Court ruling by Mr Justice Leggatt means that the European Convention on Human Rights, and the UK’s Human Rights Act, which made the convention part of British law, apply wherever British troops are fighting.
The judge said that by detaining Taliban leader Serdar Mohammed for 106 days beyond the legal 96-hour limit, Britain had breached his right to liberty.
Taxpayers will now have to pay compensation running into tens of thousands to Mohammed and three other captives involved in the case.
The ruling also opens the way for many other Afghan detainees to sue for compensation, with British law firms likely to be queuing up to help them.
There will also be high legal costs for the taxpayer. Two legal firms represented the Taliban prisoners on no-win no-fee deals, and the case involved 11 barristers. The MoD is likely to face a six-figure bill.
The case revolved around the arrest and detention of Serdar Mohammed in April 2010….

The British Bulldog is evolving into a goat in heat that is stuck in a Muslim encampment….the British soldiers are not allowed to win, it’s time for some major changes….
umbra says
Foolish judge trying to make fight a war by the British armed forces impractical (impossible). The day may come when British soldiers would not be able to fight for the human rights of this judge (and those of his ilk).

I could not agree more. In fact I would go one step further and say that a government who imposes rules and regulations that make it impossible for it’s own troops to fight the enemy on equal terms. Is not fit to command those troops!
The British Army developed the Briggs’ Plan for exactly the type of insurgency seen in Afghanistan. Yet the modern government will not use it. It’s one thing to apply the full gambit of laws on British soil in Northern Ireland but another thing entirely to apply them to barbaric Afghanistan. The people there see western virtues and kindnesses as signs of weakness.

“..because to do so would breach their human rights..”
They’re using Human Rights to destroy Human Rights, they’re using Democracy to destroy Democracy, they’re using the Law of the Land to destroy the Law of the Land, they’re using Us to destroy Us.
We are stupid, naive, self-absorbed, cowards, idiots, and we deserve what we get… unless…
The People, the WHOLE people, must stand up and say NO to Political Correctness, NO to our stupid leaders, NO to whoever is in bed with the enemy.
We need to get organized ON THE GROUND.
We need to do something like this…

Steady on old chap, don’t burst a blood vessel.
A complete revolution as you prescribe would not be the answer in the UK. It worked for Egypt because of the type of society they had/have. I’ll grant you that the UK military may need to adopt a role in politics but having them support a peoples uprising would not be a good thing and should be avoided if possible.
All we need is separation from the domineering European Union and implementation of some strong anti-islamic laws, with the political and military will to enforce those laws as required. The first step is acceptance of and a firm understanding of the problem, Islam.
Salah says
“..with the political and military will to enforce those laws as required.”
There is no political will and there won’t be any. ALL levels of government, both Left and Right, has been infiltrated by the Muslim Brotherhood thugs. The only chance for the UK is the military siding with the masses.

Where do you come from friend?
I ask only to better understand why you would think that. There is much more to British politics than you see in the media or read about on here.

One solution :no prisoners

So hold them for three days and then shoot them. Problem solved.

This part of a bigger Human Rights delusion that is sweeping the world: War is not crime management. It can not, and should not, be fought as if it is crime management. To do so is suicidal. The sooner we learn this, the better.

You have touched on something that has worried me for decades since first serving in the 70’s. The British Armed Forces have willingly and actively adopted the labels as “expert” peacekeepers. It probably started in Malaya using the Briggs Plan and was fed by the experience in Ulster. However, once deployed the general public do not like to hear about the techniques a military force must use, if they are to win a conflict or “Keep the Peace” against an armed ruthless enemy.
The military are trained and equipped to kill the enemy. They are not police, relief workers or social workers and should never be employed that way. It’s akin to using the wrong tool for the job and then blaming the tool for the poor result. A sledge hammer to crack hazel nuts. The case of Royal Marine Sergeant Alexander Blackman is a perfect example of what happens when incompetent politicians without military experience get things wrong.
Brian the Infidel says
I guess they should kill them when they catch em don’t wait until hour 95 the only good Taliban is a dead Tliban.
Crusader Prime says
Instead of just releasing them, administer them to Electro-Shock Therapy until they are so stupid that they don’t even know what their own religion even is.

on the second day give the bast%^d a hypo of pigs blood and let them see that it really comes from a pig, after that they will be so afraid of allah condemning them to hell they will not want to take a chance of getting killed.

What can be said about suicidal Brittania that hasn’t already been said? For the life of me, I will never understand this headlong suicidal rush into self-destruction. The West, cowed by political correctness, chose to give away its birthright. We think we are handing the torch to a benign entity in Islam. This miscalculation will be the death of the West, nothing less. As Islam strengthens, darkness will grow and many many more will die. Britain is done, but America is not, not yet at least. We must organize, we must stand up and say no more immigrants. Forced repatriation will become a reality, or we will simply die from the cancer we have imported.

Yoo-hoo! This is a war, judgy-poo!
Would this judge have released Rudolf Hess?

Even the Daily Mail realizes that this is insane. What if these rulings had been in place during WWII? I doubt very much the Allies would have been able to prevail…
And now, Jihadists are going to take advantage of this stupidity, just as Nazis would have.
Suicidal madness.
Cjm says
This is proof positive that the evil one is running loose in the world. The Bible says he is prince of this world. And who in their right mind would tell their army in war times that you can only hold your enemy for4 days and then you have to let them go. This is ludicris, how can they expect to keep the moral of their men up when they are forced to do that?? Nuts the whole world has gone nuts. It is good to know that Jesus Christ is in control of all things and none of these things are a surprise to HIM. Thank You Jesus for Your great love for us.!!
