"There is no doubt that in the early days ... there was a great deal of indiscriminate shooting by army and police. I am quite certain prisoners were beaten to extract information. It is a short step from beating to torture and I'm now sure ... that torture was a feature of many police posts".
The soldiers separate the men from the women and children, and haul the passengers to a detention camp.
When we arrived, we found other people being tortured and we were being asked how many oaths we had taken; I said ‘no’ to anything about taking an oath,” Naomi says softly. “I was blindfolded and I could hear my children crying, calling me ‘Mummy, Mummy.’ I never saw them again.”
Now 87, Naomi wears a flowery dress and colourful headscarf, but her eyes are sad and her face angry as she recounts her ordeal. “Because when this bottle was pushed into my vagina, I fell unconscious,” she adds.
You forgot to mention opposed by some tories as well... Of course...Opposed by Labour of course.
Starmer doesn’t seem to have any discernible policies for Covid, save ‘blame the Tories.’
In fact he doesn’t seem to have any discernible policies at all.
Labour need a politician with real personality at the hem, not a technocrat. Rayner looks like a better bet to me.
And the people who torture, and murder people whose countries they invade.
I'd like to belong to a country to admit when it gets things wrong. not one that hides its crimes.
Lots of Germans would have been posting exactly the same as EssexYelllows.
How would we respond if EssenYellows were saying that the German soldiers who shot British POW's were "people who have seconds to make a choice and may sometimes get it wrong"
How about AuschwitzYellows? "our brave lads were only obeying orders"
If you think i'm exaggerating just read what the British Army did in Kenya
then there was Iraq. and Afghanistan this doesn't make pleasant reading
there was a time when a decent commanding officer would want his rotten apples punished. not protected.
And conversely, it doesn't mean there isn't a case to prove. As always, there is a middle ground, which, as usual, you've leapt over.The forces are better trained and better equipped to deal with situations.
War is a messy business and innocent people die, doesn`t mean there is a case to prove.

the British legion was against the bill.
Anyone who committed those horrendous crimes in Kenya can ow not be prosecuted. Great job Essen Yellows!
when discussing offering immunity to war crimes, mentioning the Nazis is entirely relevant.

Indeed.Good luck with that search.

And if he had, you'd claim he was being divisive in a crisis! PMQs is a pantomime (although perhaps a bit less with fewer MPs to make silly noises!)Inquisitor General was less than inquisitive at PMQ`s today.
Tough time but he had the opportunity to get some shots in and failed miserably.
