It’s nice to see some good news for a change and that good news is that Alexander Blackman the UK Marine who was jailed for life for killing a Taliban savage has finally been released from prison.

It’s good that he’s been released but like many others, I believe that he should never have been jailed in the first place. This was a battlefield killing of an enemy fighter who was going to die anyway because the Taliban savage had been hit by large calibre helicopter gunship fire.

It’s notable that the campaign to release Sgt Blackman was a grass roots one that was in large part due to the efforts of Sgt Blackman’s wife Claire Blackman. The usual suspects of the Left and in the ‘human rights’ community did absolutely sod all to assist in getting this monstrous miscarriage of justice overturned. Those who claim to be opposed to such miscarriages of justice did nothing to help this patriot and soldier and worse still the hypocrisy of these human rights activists has been exposed when you note how eager they are to suck up to and assist the terrorists and not those who are fighting against them such as Sgt Blackman. Many of those who have observed the progress of this case suspect, probably correctly, that Sgt Blackman was prosecuted by the Crown primarily to appease Muslims who are opposed to UK military action against Islamic terrorists.

I hope that Sgt Blackman gets the treatment for his battlefield PTSD that he deserves and that such horrific and obviously politically motivated charges never ever occur again.
