    Now that`s a good idea although there`s probably hundreds of them looking to coin it. They won`t give a toss if there`s ££ in it.

    Whilst I totally agree with pompey's points he made earlier, there's no reason why British firms should go looking for easy money against our armed forces. Leave that to foreign firms.

    It is ****ing suits that have probably never been in a fight in their lives never mind stuck in a war situation that are doing this..It is an utter disgrace that people who have risked their lives for our country are now facing criminal charges..

    All the lawyers who have or are in the business of prosecuting the soldiers, should be conscripted into the armed forces and deployed to a war zone for a minimum of one year. Put them into combat situations and let's see what happens if they return.

    One of the main "ambulance chasers" is Leigh Day tel 02076501200. It may be worth phoning him to let him know how you feel. Also "Public Interest Lawyers" of Birmingham who have not publisher their "profits" from these cases.

    Well let's face facts Rog.
    Putting weak, lily livered ****s like them in the front line would put the real men in more danger.
    Lawyers don't have any ethics, they're just leeches sucking on the blood of easy victims.
    They'll happily slaughter war veterans whilst defending baby ****ers & rapists at the same time.
    Lawyers are lower than crack dealers. They have no regard of right or wrong or justice.
    All they see is ££££££. That's what they're all about mate.

    Absolutely shocking this country. 60 million quid wasted on prosecuting our armed forces. Sure pows being tortured is wrong but if it becomes such an issue i would hope our own armed forces would deal with internally (obviously we should punish cover ups if journalists find out about them).

    Instead now some fat cat lawyers who are probably charging 200 quid an email are getting rich. This government and some of the policies are a joke. All that wastage whilst we are leaving some of our ex soldiers inadequately treated and homeless or not equipping our soldiers properly in a war they probably didnt want to get into
