STARS INCLUDING ONE Direction, Ed Sheeran, Paloma Faith and Coldplay’s Chris Martin have signed up to re-record charity single “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” with proceeds going to the battle against Ebola.
Bob Geldof, who founded the Band Aid movement behind the original 1984 recording, said today he had been inspired by the bravery of volunteer medical staff fighting the disease in West Africa.

They would deny it wouldnt they. Dont believe the British government for a second. Dont forget WMD
The government or their security services.
Would Britain reject 700 years of torture inflicted on the Irish?
I think that putting the dead on trial on behalf of the dead is not realistic.
There is enough evidence of war crimes from the 1950′s on to have thousands of British soldiers, Generals and Ministers jailed for life.
Using terror and random killings to so terrorize a population that they give up.
North Ireland, now Iraqi. The British never learned a lesson from the past.
Thosj
Yes they did, they perfected it and kept it out of the eyes of the media in Iraq.
The British army have form in this regard.
What is unusual is that it now has a court that may be able to try it.
When you consider the sheer savagery and terror and murder campaigns that were inflicted on civilian populations in the Aden, Malaysia, Kenya, Cyprus and a another dozen countries.
The western warlords will be punished, what goes up must come down.
Britain finds Britain not guilty, :0
Cool pic of William Hague in The Hague
War criminals become peace envoys who go onto speak and make millions
Its about time the ICC turned its attention to Western war criminals .
as for ” “Should we be approached by the ICC, we will take the opportunity to explain the very extensive work under way to deal with historic allegations of abuse.”
Who do they think they are fooling —-they took 40 years to admit the Bloody Sunday murders – and then offered a paltry £50,000 -. Its time Blair and others were put on trial .
What predictable rubbish comments!
Haha not guilty
Sounds familiar….Same old, same old story
I notice the british solicitor defending the Iraqi’s didn’t have any friends or family killed in the 7/7 bombings. Or and subsequent terrorist attacks.
Ye just a typical sleaze ball solicitor looking to make a quick buck.
Why should that make a difference in the professional world?
The 7/7 bombers where four British citizens, three of Pakistani origin and one of Jamaican origin while these prisoners, who where often arrested on flimsy evidence, are Iraqis, so I don’t see the connection.
And after all, if the UK didn’t do anything illegal, they should have nothing to fear, isn’t that the line they use to justify all the spying on their own people and their allies?
Exactly where did you notice that? I condemn all terrorist acts but there’s absolutely no excuse for torture.
A little bit of bullying and taking the oiss in most cases I’d imagine with the exception of a few cases. Small fry in the grand scheme of things
