Judge warning MoD over equipment

Sending British soldiers on patrol or into battle with defective equipment could breach their human rights, a High Court judge has ruled.

Mr Justice Collins said human rights legislation could apply to military personnel on active service.

The High Court has also defeated Dismal Des Brownie's attempts to censor coroners verdicts:

An attempt by the government at the same hearing to restrict critical language used by coroners at such inquests was rejected by the court.

A good day for justice - and a poke in the eye for this Stalinist NuLabor regime....
