Ok look at iraq and Afghanistan the vast majority kf any abuse was carried out by the iraquis and the afghans not the west.

Vast majority not all was them, but i think we should have prevented some of it, considering the only authority in the countries was us.

We tried helping in Africa people got sick of the body bags comming home

That did not stop us in iraq or afghanistan, we have been there what 15 years with a large armed force ?

I cant help but think if we used that power in places that really needed us, we would have far less wars or asylum seekers.

LAWYER Phil Shiner has been charged over his role in a collapsed £31m war crimes inquiry into spurious allegations of murder and torture by British troops, The Sun can reveal.

Self-styled Human Rights solicitor Shiner – who runs “tank chasing” legal firm Public Interest Lawyers – now faces being struck off alongwith one of his colleagues if found guilty.

The odious Shiner now trying to hide his crimes on the basis of "ill health"

Phil Shiner, who made his name suing the UK Government at taxpayers’ expense, is fighting a battle to keep the allegations secret.

He wants a forthcoming hearing to be held behind closed doors and details of the case against him kept secret on the grounds of ill health.

The Daily Mail – which has campaigned for an end to the witch-hunt against British troops – is prepared to fight any legal bid for secrecy.

A legal firm that spent a decade hounding British troops is to shut down.

After being stripped of public money Public Interest Lawyers will close at the end of this month.

Hundreds of service personnel will now escape being dragged into a taxpayer-funded witch-hunt.

Nearly 200 compensation claims made by suspected Iraqi insurgents will be thrown out and more than 1,000 potential claims scrapped. Phil Shiner, who ran PIL, may now face charges because the National Crime Agency is investigating the law firm.

The development is a victory for the Daily Mail, which has exposed the tactics of the ambulance-chasing solicitors. These include using touts to drum up business in Iraq in breach of legal rules.

That Phil Shiner is a piece of work, love to see him behind bars.

Just heard the appalling serial leftie Mathew Wright say Phil Shiner was only trying to do what he thought was right for the country not his own self interests and the Daily Mail want all British troops to be allowed to murder at will.

Sad thing is, maybe there were some genuine claims in among the rest, now we won't know. People like this guy and those defending/supporting him have completely ruined things for any valentine victims out there in addition to causing unnecessary stress/anxiety for veterans facing various bogus accusations.
 
There will be a handful of genuine cases at most. But when everyone starts jumping on the bandwagon the whole thing falls apart.
