Free Alexander Blackman!

This needs to go viral.

I mean it. 

These Royal Marines have the back of their comrades. 

Good on them.

This is the most impressive display of fighting spirit that I have seen in Britain in many, many years.

It is disgraceful, and shameful that Alexander Blackman is imprisoned for killing an enemy!

Background: 

"Serving Royal Marines have defied an MoD ban and joined hundreds of veterans and supporters who gathered outside Parliament this afternoon to call for the immediate retrial of one of their former comrades who was convicted of murdering an Afghan insurgent."

(INSURGENT IS MEALY MOUTHED FOR JIHADIST TERRORIST! OF COURSE HE SHOULD BE KILLING "INSURGENTS".)

"Royal Marine Sergeant Alexander Blackman, 41, received a life sentence two years ago for killing the wounded captive in Helmand province in September 2011."

"He unsuccessfully challenged the outcome in the Court Martial Appeal Court, but his minimum sentence was reduced to eight years. Supporters say Blackman believed the insurgent was dead already and has been the victim of a gross miscarriage of justice."

"The campaign for justice for Blackman was launched last month with a Daily Mail investigation revealing how evidence was ‘deliberately withheld’ from his court martial. Had the Royal Navy jury known the full facts, a lesser charge of manslaughter might have saved the Royal Marine from being convicted of murder."

At least little Archie has learned right from wrong, such a difficult task today in Britain.
