The life and times of Britain’s nicest BAF pilot...

Thatcher: “Londoner, get your stuff ready… we’re sending you on a special mission to Angola to fuck up a bunch of nigger villages resisting our national interests!

Londoner: “Madam, I refuse to obey any orders that may lead to the unnecessary loss of life!

Yes, he was well known throughout Britain for his humanitarian and gentlemanly service…

Callaghan: “Londoner, a bunch of rebellious punks in Rhodesia think they can overturn her majesty’s policies!”

Londoner: “With all due respect to her majesty, but I refuse to impose our will on the indigenous population!”

The dead man sitting is offering his slavery services in return for his life! :lol:



NB: This was recorded before sentencing so he now has one month to appeal the death sentence and if successful he’ll get 25 years instead.

Yes, hindsight is always 20/20!

What he did not say by repenting was, how many people did he knowing kill, either civilians or Russian soldiers in violation of Geneva Convention?

Was he given the death sentence only for being a foreigner fighting for Ukraine or for much more violations?

It makes no difference. They were told they are breaking the UK law by going to Ukraine to fight and I am sure they also knew that if they become a prisoner there is no protection.

Hindsight or no hindsight.

Blah, blah, blah.

Glad I hit a nerve.

The following rampage from you just underlines your mental problems. Not to mention making you look a tad pathetic. :wink:

It still comes down to you having no idea at all.

Next of course, you'll be complaining about personal abuse, their being no moderation on this forum and then throwing your dummy in the dirt and disappearing - in search of "mature debate".

I agree. There will always be those in search of - something or other - when wars arise.

Nevertheless, I suspect putting them in front of a firing squad is probably a bit OTT. Not to mention legally questionable. The subject of violations of international law tending to attract frequent indignation in here.

I suspect that actually they are after some sort of deal. Shooting them would just attract even more, very public, determination to see their aims thwarted. In the foot - sort of thing.
