There is a slimy thread which runs through this legal travesty and that is left by the unctuous Phil Shiner. It was his discredited cases regarding the Iraq war which rewarded him handsomely from the public purse. The dossier given to the ICC at the Hague, which is under consideration, was presented by a legal firm called PIL which is owned by the aforesaid lawyer who consistently represents any jihadi with a grudge. This new attempt to denigrate British forces was heralded on the Beeb news last night by a lawyer called Bethany Shiner. What a coincidence. Let us hope that the ICC sees through this farrago as the money spinning exercise that it is.
