We do not ask for a legal waiver to behave illegally or indiscriminately. All we ask for is a fair and rational legal framework to operate within, applying UK laws, enacted and controlled by our own elected Parliament.
Dean Godson argues the Docklands bombing should have been a “line in the sand”.

Northern Ireland shows what happens when investigations never end: service turns into liability. Iraq only reinforced it. Veterans don’t need sympathy — they need MPs to answer one question: Where does this end? www.justiceforveterans.uk/p/it-is-time...
It is Time to Put Your MP on the Spot
Iraq-era lawfare showed what happens when process has no end-point. Veterans must now press MPs locally for one clear answer: where does this end?

Hermer’s Double Standard: Diplomacy Gets Discretion, Veterans Get the Conveyor Belt
If discretion is acceptable when dealing with allies abroad, why is it forbidden when protecting Operation Banner veterans at home? Selective enforcement makes “international law” look less universal.
