Today I sent to the UK Parliament's Treasury Select Committee a written submission in the context of their Inquiry into the Comprehensive Spending Review.
If my view is correct that the UK's actions in Afghanistan are "terrorism" as defined in Section 1 of the Terrorism Act 2000 then some £5 billion per year can be saved simply by ceasing unlawful military action in Afghanistan.
Of course the Treasury Select Committee members will have a natural desire to "see no evil" but will they wish to jeapordise their political career and their legacy by failing fully to investigate?
For relevant background as to why I consider the UK's actions in Afghanistan to be "terrorism" as defined in UK Law see The Use of armed force by UK military personnel has been unlawful in UK law since 20th July 2000 and An account of the illegality of the UK military action in Afghanistan since 2001.
