When we had a death penalty and capital punishment in the UK, at least we had a trial first. But apparently it's now ok for the PM to authorise the summary sci-fi execution of UK subjects in a country that we are not at war with and where the Commons of the Houses of Parliament do not need to be consulted. Because, "plots". And all on the advice on legality from the Attorney General appointed by that same PM. So Cameron = Blair then. Or as one commentator had it: "Two Real IRA men, who were suspected of plotting to bomb the UK, are targeted and killed by a missile fired from an RAF drone flying in the Republic of Ireland’s airspace. Would that be lawful?" how would that example be different?

And all the Mainstream Media can say is "When does the real bombing start? Because tomorrow is not soon enough".

"Yet the news media are now insistently beating the drum for British bombing in Syria. Who should be bombed exactly – ISIL or Assad – appears unimportant, so long as there is bombing. Indeed, the Murdoch Sky News, the Mail and the Blairites are contriving to build a narrative that Jeremy Corbyn, the SNP and bleeding hearts like myself are responsible for the death of little Aylan and hundreds like him, by unreasonable and inhuman opposition to a bit more bombing."

Exactly twenty years ago the European Court of Human Rights found that the British Government had acted illegally in shooting dead three IRA members in Gibraltar, even though the court accepted that the government had a genuine belief that they were planning a bombing attack.
