GUEST,freddie BS: 1,000 British Soldiers desert (103* d) RE: BS: 1,000 British Soldiers desert 30 May 06


New Labour MPs showed their contempt for military families last week when they overwhelmingly voted to threaten life imprisonment for military personnel who refuse to serve in the occupation of subjugated territories.
Currently military personnel can only face life imprisonment for deserting or refusing to fight in wars.Only 19 MPs voted for an amendment opposing the govt's plan to extend the penalty to those refusing to take part in the occupation of foreign territory.
Moving the amendment Labour MP John McDonnell paid tribute to the stand taken by Ben Griffin of the SAS and Flight Lt Malcolm Kendall-Smith who have both refused to serve in Iraq on the grounds that it is an illegal war.
