Above, HM Prison Dartmoor and inset, one of Her Majesty’s residents on D Wing.
British Gazette readers will be used to getting the occasional unsolicited offer. Generally these will be to take up membership of a book club or to purchase a new kitchen or visit a nearby supermarket. Invitations to become a guest of Her Majesty at one of her penal establishments however will be very thin on the ground!
We feel urged however to make invitation due to a report that has appeared in today’s Plymouth Herald.
Herewith: http://www.plymouthherald.co.uk/Plymouth-MP-Johnny-Mercer-British-sniper/story-28568180-detail/story.html
It is the most extraordinary report of our Dearly Beloved Political Masters considering the prosecution of a British Army sniper for failing to warn an enemy combatant he was about to shoot him. The excellent Mr Mercer, a former British Army officer is understandably appalled! Mr Mercer is the Member of Parliament for Plymouth Moor View. Mr Mercer is so appalled he has recommended that should the authorities prosecute this soldier they prosecute him also.
We feel that this organ and it’s Editor (and hopefully readers) will support the stance taken by Mr Mercer in supporting the solider. As a result we formally wish to state (for the record) that the British Gazette thinks the actions of this soldier were perfectly OK and in the best traditions of making war on the enemies of Her Majesty the Queen.
Should some member of the politically correct brigade (Comrade Corbyn for instance) feel alarmed and distressed by the aforesaid statement they are encouraged to complain and report this article as an example of “hate crime” and demand the prosecution forthwith of the Editor and also any persons commenting in support of the article and the Editor.
Caution: Distribution of this article in the form of a hypertext link may be construed as causing the offence of racially or religiously aggravated harassment, alarm or distress pursuant to Section 31(1)(c) of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 (c.37).
A person guilty of this offence is liable on conviction on indictment to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years, or to a fine, or to both, or on summary conviction to imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months, or to a fine not exceeding the statutory maximum, or to both (s.31(4)).
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
What a shocking, disgraceful way to treat a disciplined member of Her Majesty’s forces.
We should applaud Mr. Mercer and show all support for the serviceman concerned.
My suspicious mind leads me to wonder ( just wonder, mind you ) if the idea behind all this is to demoralise and / or bang up our worthy soldiers so that there are so few left, we will just have to capitulate to the cunning plan of Brussels to have only a European Army, instead of a national one.
Am, I being silky, or have I hit the nail on the head ?
The very Job description & duty of a Sniper is to Knock off, Kill, Disable Enemy of Her Majesty and her Government, so if any of the political establishment are against that, or don’t understand!, they should be named and treated as in cohorts with our enemies.
Our Forces are the best in the world doing the jobs most of our Political Morons can’t or won’t do themselves.
Let us ensure they are named publically so we can cast our votes accordingly at the next election
No Stuart, you are not being silly. Why do you think Blair rushed to disarm our countrymen and women after Dunblane and the US are working hard to do the same?
Fellow travellers should look at the reasons for all these’crazies’ with guns accused of shooting up innocent people.
The man who killed the children at Dunblane was a known peadophile and the reports in this mass murder are under wraps for 100 YEARS, WHY???
