Shockingly, a court has ruled that soldiers are humans.

why dont we just bring all the troops home, and keep out of all conflicts.seems now people can join the forces so long as they dont get hurt.I have never heard anything so ridiculous in my life,and I am ex RN.Soon they wont be able to shoot anybody as it will be against the enemies human rights
trev devenish, grantham

Who on earth would want to live in a world like that? This human rights legislation certainly has a lot to answer for.

    This bloke has a point, why don’t we just bring all the troops home,keep out of all conflicts and not kill anyone. Trev, your the man.

    Wait, so it’s NOT a human right to not be shot at? In that case, I’m off to David Griffin’s with me blunderbuss – anyone care to come with?

    Human rights are just getting in the way of our armed forces doing what they do best: bullying and torturing each other to death. Is this the sort of Britain we want to live in?

    “I have never heard anything so ridiculous in my life,and I am ex RN.”

    Yeah, I’ve heard they do say a lot of ridiculous things in the RN.

    Or maybe it’s because that when Trev was in the RN he had a purpose in life and everything sounded so reasonable that, now he’s outside of the RN and is no longer any use to anyone, everything nowadays seems ridiculous.

    Or maybe it’s because he’s got pebbledash for brains.

    Poop deck of HMS Victory, 21 October 1805…

    Lord Nelson: “Make the signal, ‘England confides that every man will do his duty’.”
    Able Seaman devenish: “we dont have teh flag for confids, er conf… er that… worrabout ‘piss off frogs or does that infringe your human rights you couldnt make it up methinks’”
    Lord Nelson: “That will do, Devenish, make it directly.”

    Being an ex-nurse you’d think Trev would be against people dying.

    Jesus, I must never look at one of those links again. Truly disturbing how many people are recommending the “gorblimey, you couldn’t make it up” merchants compared to how many recommend the bloke pointing out that the story doesn’t mean what they think it means.

    Inconceivable.

    The judge who ruled that soldiers are human has obviously never been out in Colchester on a Friday night.

    @BitSpecial – I’ll happily come with you to Dave Griffin’s – I’m sure he’s a total cunt. Can we stop off at Nick Griffin’s too? He’s a festering minge of the first water.

    What next? Not being able to shoot your average Joe on the street because it’s ‘against their human rights’? How will we ever express displeasure then? Tell me!

    All our young men should follow in Trev’s foot steps and join the Navy. Why, in the Navy you can

    Sail the seven seas
    In the Navy
    Yes, you can put your mind at ease
    Come on now, people, make a stand
    In the navy, in the navy
    Can’t you see we need a hand
    In the navy
    Come on, protect the motherland
    In the navy
    Come on and join your fellow man
    In the navy
    Come on people, and make a stand
    In the navy, in the navy, in the navy (in the navy)

    Military personnel having human rights sure is going to bollocks up my plans for a drunken sailor.

    Bollocks up your plans for a drunken sailor

    Tsk, bloody human rights, what next? preventing torture of POWs? Stopping the military from killing civilians? preventing us from nuking drug dealers? BLOODY COMMUNISTS! THEY STOP EVERYTHING, RED SCUM, I HATE THEM I HATE THEM, KILL KILL KILL!

    @Rotwatcher – actually, I DID mean David Griffin; he was a vile sleazy paedo gym teacher at my old school. But we can stop off first at Nick Griffin’s place to pepper him with buckshot, that’d be great. Wonder if they’re related?

    (note to self: yeah, you totally bluffed your way out of that one. No-one will suspect a thing)

    First the Ghurkas are told they are mad fucks that have to piss off, now Gordon Clown is banning warfare?

    We’ll lose the Empire at this rate. I demand an election now!

    If I’m right.

    I have it on good authority that Trev Devenish of Grantham eats his young.

    gym teachers definitely don’t have human rights. we had them at my school. tasted a bit like chicken, but blander, as i recall.

    @Bit Special, Wikipedia claims that (presumably after his peado-sleaze PE teaching career ended) David Griffin was in both “Hi-De-Hi” and “Keeping up Appearances”. Making any blunderbuss related visits more than justified I’d say.

  21. on 20 May 2009 at 12:54 pm Bit Special

    I can’t decide which crime is worse – Keeping Up Appearances or letching at teeny girls. Wasn’t the same man, though, but hey, we’ve got the blunderbuss, so why limit the victims to just two? I’m googling Peter Hitchen’s address right now in a separate tab…
