Lawyer behind false Iraq abuse claims against British Army struck off
He should be made to foot the whole bill for the case.... and any gains from his criminal activities should be confiscated and donated to the Armed Forces charities.

Good. Very good. Excellent.
Any chance of prosecution?

Send the scrote the Government's £30m expenditure on investigation.
You have to wonder how hard the MoD tried to protect its men from these accusations or whether they (the MoD) just paid out compensation thus encouraging Shiner and his colleagues.

It does of course now open up the flood gates for those poor victims to sue the pants off him and the other loathsome scum.....

A question I have often asked but is more difficult to answer is why so many ordinary fighting men were set upon by the educated degree level classes?
Something went wrong. I'm yet to hear an even half coherent answer.

One word....... Greed
That and the total lack of comprehension as to what combat involves, it is alright spouting on from the comfort of their warm cosy offices while people are dying to keep them in that comfort, but I am always of the opinion they should be judged by their peers that have shared that experience, than those that have not.

Interesting essay. I haven't read all of it.

Those who “abjure” violence can only do so because others are committing violence on their behalf.
I'd like to know who exactly is "The MOD"??
"They"(whoever "they" are) don't seem to support our Military personnel at all. "They" abandon retired Servicemen ASAP. "They" allow defective and out of date equipment to be used in war zones. "They" decide to arbitrarily sell off an entire aircraft group (i.e. Harriers) without much thought as to what "they're" going to fly off 2 brand new carriers.
Careers are blighted, lives are blighted all because "The MOD" don't seem to have a plot and, if "they" did, "they've" lost it.
Who are "they"? I met lots of very capable chaps who made very high ranks but they were all pretty good, loyal Officers who would not tolerate such behaviour.
So is "The MOD" a bunch of self-serving, non-military beurocrats who have no loyalty to the Lads and Lassies in the front line, and therefore think witch hunts such as these kind of prosecutions are perfectly justified and sign the cheques for Abdul's goats because it's easier that way??

Arfur,
In my dated experience working in the MOD, as a serving officer,, your last sentence just about sums it up. The civil servants resent the military and would like to expunge all of them from the MOD. Mind you there are also Treasury scrutineers embedded, don't get me going on them as well!
