Governments who start bending the rules may end up in the International Criminal Courts. |

Well I for one am not averse to the bending of rules if it keeps Britain a safer place and prevents further atrocities on our streets. |

The State had no right to execute Lord HawHaw, he was not a British citizen. |

Executive convenience and vox pop opinion cannot override due legal process otherwise the whole basis of a democracy founded on law goes out the window. |

Are you saying Rollo, that we should wait until they are caught and brought back to the UK for a "fair trial"? |

The unanimous opinion in the pub last night was that they got what they deserved. Anyone who commits, or encourages others to commit, offences against their own country is committing treason, which until recently was a capital offence. |

I feel or these men's families as they have lost their Son's.But if they were such a threat to our country then I believe the right thing has been done.A few years ago I might not have the same response. |

There could be an investigation, but to be honest we aren't going to be told much because it would compromise national security which imo is fair enough. A decision was made, it seems to have been made legally ( albeit not with the advance knowledge of the other political parties) based on good intelligence on the face of it. |

those lads who went off to join IS knew what they were getting into - they deserve all they got - no one made them go - it was their choice - and a very bad choice as far as their grieving families are concerned |

I think this is cloaked in so much secrecy, thus sparking speculation, but the full facts aren't known so it would be a disaster of a discussion :-( |

I am surprised that there hasn't been a thread started regarding the killing of two British ISIL fighters in Syria. Is the subject too controversial? |
