For the record:

If any brown envelope pops through my door with regard to any of the Dear Leader's intended military ventures (admittedly not likely) then I will engage a lawyer to send a response to MoD stating I will not be obeying the mobilisation order as it is illegal, and will continue to disobey it unless:

a. The military undertaking is legal under international law (ie UN resolution or self defence);

b. The Attorney General has declared military action to be lawful;

c. The full decision of the Attorney General has been made public;

d. Parliament has voted to authorise military action after considering the above items.

There are precedents (voluntary and involuntary!) for all the above items. So, Bliar, you can send your ugly missus (in her armoured car) and your wastrel son before knocking on my door!
