Labour Govt only has itself to blame for this ruling.
A. By agreeing to sign up to HRA when in Opposition and in doing so displaying both naivity and idealism.
B. Sending UK Forces to war with woefully deficient equipment using "military risk" as a get out clause.
C. Weak, politicised, Chiefs of Staff, refusing to stand up for and protect the men and women for which they had a duty of care.
Stand by for another drubbing in the courts over Nimrod and quite possibly Hercules legal actions.
We still have the odious sight of suspected terrorists being set free in the UK who would have been deported before Labour Govt agreed to sign up to HRA.
This is a very real problem and is exercising legal and Intelligence minds to a great degree.
