Almost No Safe Haven

After only a couple of years or so facilitating and conniving at war crimes and crimes against humanity while tutting with mild disapproval, the great British state has gone about demonstrating its moral mettle in the manner one would expect, by placing a beastly foreign on trial for war crimes and crimes against humanity. A sometime Syrian colonel is charged with murder and torture insofar as these fall within the jurisdiction of the great British state, which seems to have concluded belatedly that the alleged miscreant is less an expatriate than an asylum seeker. Whatever else the nation may have sacrificed in supporting the Gaza cleansing and the Persian Crusade, it has clearly lost nothing in the way of comic timing.
