If there were actual war crimes to investigate then this has always been the case that British personnel are held to account. What has annoyed me over this story are the sound bite news stories I'm hearing today. One spokesman just said that there is NO evidence at the moment but it's likely that evidence exists. So it seems we are trying to find evidence at public expense to then be able to get service personnel in court. Didn't we learn that approach is corrupt with the Shiner cases?

How far back will these cases go? Almost all operations in WW1 and WW2 involved war crimes by today's standards.
