Brit gives himself up.......???WTF???

[JMGS4]

Just read this on Sky website... makes my blood boil.
"BRIT GIVES HIMSELF UP
A British man fighting for Saddam Hussein has surrendered to the Desert Rats in Iraq.
The man, in his mid-20s, told the Irish Guards he was from Manchester and wanted to return home - to claim benefits, the Guards claimed.
Born in Iraq, the unidentified prisoner, who speaks in a Mancunian accent, is currently being held in a prisoner of war camp in the south of the country.
A source within the Irish Guards said: "He told us he wanted to fight for the Iraqis because he didn't agree with what Britain and America are doing.
"After handing himself over, he began taunting some of the soldiers that he would soon be back in Britain enjoying state benefits even though he had a wish to fight against our people."
It is understood the man, whose family are still in England, joined a militia group through relatives in the Basra area.

Treachery, take him out into the desert and execute the Fcucker!!!!

I'd heard that the Irish Guards were helping the war effort. But I thought they had been issued incorrect maps and invaded Bagshot.

:illbeoffthen:

[Davey Boy]

Couldn't agree more. If I was in the forces out there I would use the little tw@t as a human shield on the front of one of out tanks.

If he is allowed back to Britain that will be the most ridiculous thing I have ever herd and an insult to every briton, especially the troops.

[swilly]

That's treason isn't it. Hang the fcuker.

They did that during the hunt for Bin Laden, they stormed Battersea Dogs Home and shot 6 Afgans

I heard about this this morning. It will be absolutely disgraceful if they let him back into Britain. He made his bed the
fer should now lie in it.

... while a tank drives over the top!

They had a military law "expert" on 5 live last night talking about this and he said that as he is not an Iraqi, but is fighting for the Iraqis then under the Geneva convention he is classed as a Mercenary. Apparently that basically means he's the lowest of the low and none of the normal Geneva convention protection applies. So rather than listen to his taunting they soldiers are quite within thier rights to do what they like to him. Or if they're feeling generous they could try him for treason, which is punishable by death.

Which is nice.

[Big Chris]

They better not let that fecker back in the country, if they do im hoping one of our wonderful tabloid papers will name and shame him so he gets what he deserves. Cowardly shit went out there, fought, realised he would probably get shot so gave himself up. It makes me

Hopefully someone will accidentally 'Pop a cap in his ass'.

Yep, treason during war, string him up.

Trafalgar Sq, Saturday, 12.30 bring the kids, popcorn free.

They should refuse to take him in, leave him in the desert (or even pudding) to take his chances.

The death penalty (in any circumstance) was abandoned in the UK in 1999 when we became signatories to the ECHR. Can't see that stopping him being 'tragically,' 'inadvertently' fragged though.

Well I never.

Gives you something else to quote when they come for your licence though (probably when they outlaw anything over 1.1l). It could be an infringement of your human rights to be unable to work

except for treason, which still stands, but rarely enforced. (IMHO)

[mrsd]

No. All circumstances. Treason, arson in her maj's docks etc. no longer in force.

This was ratified in 1998.

What's so bad about treason though? Unless you've pledged an oath to serve your country, which I presume this chap didn't, then I don't see why you shouldn't fight against it if you think what they are doing is wrong. Presumably there's nothing wrong with an Iraqi committing "treason" by fighting for the allies against Saddam?

I'd heard that the Irish Guards had sent a female operative into Bagdad to assassinate Saddam Hussein.
Unfortunately she got her anthrax mixed up with the tampax and poisoned the wrong c*nt!
