Re: Sgt Blackman refused Bail!!

I have read a number of reports of this travesty, yes, even in the Grauniad, and the general consensus is that he should never have been convicted, let alone be bailed.

It is my fervent hope that this lunatic decision will lead to a substantial drop in recruitment into the armed forces if, in fact, that is not already happening.

What will his accusers and the judiciary who made the decision possibly do then?

Knowing how their minds work, it wouldn't surprise me if they encourage some of our recent migrants to join up.

I could be wrong Susan but if memory serves me right the footage only came to light when the police were investigating downloading of pornography and confiscated a soldiers laptop (not the Sgt's) .. on which it happened to be stored.

Police were investigating another case involving a bootie and found the Blackman camera footage on his laptop.


Edited to add, Sorry Mort, just spotted your post.
