0:15interests of our special forces
0:17personnel, he's just come out
0:19essentially calling this Labour Party,
0:21this Labour government, and Andy Burnham

1:00SAS chief, "Army witch hunts are putting
1:03Britain at risk. Special forces
1:05recruitment is suffering as a result of
1:07endless legal actions against soldiers",
1:10warns a former Special Air Service
1:12Brigadier. This is the man in question
1:15who's come out and spoken. He's called
1:17Ed But- Ed Butler. He is a former, a
1:20retired now, Special Air Service
1:22Brigadier, and he's the first head of
1:24its regimental association, essentially
1:26like a charity to fight for their
1:27interests, and he's just given an
1:29interview where he essentially calls the
1:31Labour Party traitors and cowards.
1:34"Witch hunts against British special
1:35forces put the country at risk from
1:37Russia", the head of the association
1:39that represents SAS soldiers has warned.
1:42Brigadier Edward Butler, a former
1:44commanding officer of the 22nd SAS, said
1:47that recruitment into the elite unit was
1:48suffering as a result of repeated legal
1:50action against its members, weakening
1:52its ability to keep the country safe.
1:55Mr. Butler, the new president of the SAS
1:57Regimental Association, accused the
1:59government of not having the backs of
2:01personnel and warned it was seriously
2:03damaging morale amongst serving troops.
2:05In the first interview by the head of
2:07this organization, Mr. Butler said the
2:09association was prepared to take legal
2:11action against the government to protect
2:13soldiers who served in Northern Ireland
2:15from prosecution under Labour's and
2:17Burnham's Troubles Act and was
2:19instigating steps to raise a fighting
2:21fund. You heard that correctly. Our own
2:24special forces charity are going to sue
2:28our own government for attacking our own
2:31service personnel. This is utterly
2:34pathetic that it's come to this, but
2:36it's good news that finally they're
2:38standing up and that they're getting the
2:40media attention they need as well. When
2:42details of this fighting fund have been
2:44released or announced, if there is a way
2:46for us ordinary people to donate, I will
2:49of course donate myself and make a video
2:51showing you how you can donate, too.
2:54Ed Butler also attacked the use of human
2:56rights law to pursue soldiers for their
2:58actions on the battlefield as Andy
3:00Burnham is preparing to bring the
3:02Northern Ireland Troubles Bill back
3:04before Parliament within just days as
3:06part of efforts to find, quote, "answers
3:08for the families of those who died
3:10during the conflict," essentially
3:12opening up the Troubles once again and
3:14putting British Army armed services
3:17personnel into prison. There are fears
3:20among members of the armed forces that
3:21the bill will reignite efforts to
3:23prosecute innocent soldiers for their
3:24actions in the Troubles from decades
3:26ago. Mr. Burnham is under pressure to
3:29scrap the bill entirely. So, why doesn't
3:31he just damn well scrap it then? What
3:33can he possibly gain from this? This is
3:35the problem with the Labour Party and
3:37it's the example it's an example of why,
3:39no matter what they do, no matter how
3:41well Andy Burnham might do on TikTok or
3:44on YouTube or when he speaks to normal
3:46people in interviews, he's still going
3:48to fail as a prime minister because he
3:50is fundamentally out of touch with
3:52British people. British people do not
3:55want those who served in our armed
3:57forces to suffer legal attacks from
4:00left-wing globalist human rights lawyers
4:02trying to put them in prison for doing
4:04their job and for doing what they were
4:05sent on missions to do. If anyone is to
4:08suffer from the actions of those
4:10officers, it ought to be the politicians
4:12who ordered those servicemen to do what
4:14they did, not the servicemen who are
4:16just doing their jobs. Andy Burnham is
4:19so dense, so stupid, and so arrogant
4:22that he can't even see this. And so he's
4:25still planning to put forward this bill
4:26despite the fact there is literally
4:29nothing to gain by it. All it will do is
4:32make the country realize, "Oh, hang on.
4:34Andy Burnham is just the same as Keir
4:36Starmer, isn't he? He also hates Britain
4:38and he also hates our armed forces."
4:41Oh, he isn't that different at all, is
4:42he?
4:43He's an idiot and this is going to
4:45destroy his polling.
4:46On top of that, members of the Labour
4:48Party themselves are even standing up
4:50and saying, "Don't do this." including
4:52Al Khan, who was the former Armed Forces
4:55Minister just a couple of months ago. He
4:56was Armed Forces Minister under Keir
4:58Starmer and he himself has a huge amount
5:01of experience within British Special
5:03Forces. He warned on Monday that this
5:05Troubles Bill could place British
5:07veterans in endless legal jeopardy. But
5:10of course Andy Burnham doesn't care. He
5:12hasn't given Al Khan a job. Why? Because
5:14Al Khan is terrifying to Andy Burnham
5:16because he's an actual patriot.
5:19Mr. Butler warned that some soldiers
5:21were deciding not to even apply for SAS
5:23selection because of lawfare and
5:25concerns about the persecution of
5:26soldiers after more recent operations.
5:28He said the very worst-case scenario is
5:30you have a completely whittled down
5:32Special Forces capability because no one
5:34would be prepared to join it and do
5:36these high-risk, high-return operations
5:38if their back isn't covered. It's not
5:40just a Special Forces thing. It's across
5:42the entire Armed Forces. If it gets
5:44worse, this will will very detrimental
5:46to national security. Essentially, why
5:48would anyone join the army or sign up to
5:51fight if they know that they aren't
5:53expecting a medal and a great big hug
5:55and a congratulations and a party when
5:56they come back home from overseas after
5:58risking their lives for their country.
6:00They're actually facing lawyers and
6:01police kicking down their doors and
6:03arresting them for violating the human
6:05rights of terrorists with guns and
6:07bombs.
6:09Mr. Butler spoke out amid fears that
6:11Russia could be preparing to test NATO.
6:14Last week, Russian foreign ministry
6:15spokesman said Britain and France were
6:17playing with fire by supporting Ukraine.
6:19Western intelligence officials have
6:20warned that Putin is waging a sabotage
6:22campaign and there is a risk of a
6:24miscalculation that could lead to a
6:27conflict. Mr. Butler, who was accused of
6:29murder in 2012 over his work in Northern
6:31Ireland before Kelp caught through the
6:33case out, said that the SES was a
6:35crucial part of Britain's defense, but
6:37that ministers were letting it down. So,
6:39Ed Butler, a brigadier of the SES and
6:41now head of the Special Air Service
6:44Association organization, right? This
6:46charity that basically works to protect
6:47their interest. He's been targeted and a
6:49victim of these witch hunts himself.
6:52Lawyers basically hounded him and
6:54destroyed his life for a year until the
6:56case went to court and the judge went,
6:57"Oh, no. This is ridiculous. Stop
6:59attacking and harassing this innocent
7:01man." And now the government are trying
7:02to expand the powers that allow for
7:05these men to be attacked like this.
7:07Speaking to the Telegraph, he said, "I
7:09think there's quite a serious question
7:11about the trust between the state of the
7:13between the state, the government, and
7:14the armed forces and quite how far that
7:16has been breached. Has the government
7:18got the special forces and SAS
7:20communities' backs? I think it's very
7:21questionable." His intervention is the
7:23first time a head of the Special Air
7:26Service Regimental Association has
7:27publicly attacked the government and is
7:29being seen as a warning shot to the
7:31Prime Minister from the SAS. The
7:33dramatic shift represents the deepening
7:35level of concern within the UK's closely
7:37knit special forces community over the
7:39Troubles Bill and the ongoing Heddon
7:42Cave inquiry into alleged killings by
7:44the SAS in Afghanistan.
7:46We're really serious about this because
7:48you're failing you're failing to
7:50recognize that you've got to have the
7:51backs of your servicemen and women. He
7:54was awarded the distinguished order uh
7:56service order in 2002 as well, basically
7:58a medal for good service. Has trust been
8:01broken? I don't think there is far to go
8:03before it is. Remember, trust goes both
8:05ways. And if you want to maintain the
8:07world's premier special forces
8:08organization, you've got to look after
8:10it. Mr. Butler was critical of the use
8:12of human rights law to prosecute
8:13soldiers operating in combat
8:14environments. He said soldiers were uh
8:17pursued through the prism of human
8:18rights law as opposed to the law of
8:20armed conflict and the rules of
8:22engagement from the Geneva Convention,
8:23describing this as totally inappropriate
8:25for armed conflict. Essentially, what
8:27the Labour government want to do is they
8:29want to make it legal to sue and put
8:32soldiers in prison for violating laws
8:34that you or I would normally have to
8:36follow. Like if you or I went out on a
8:38night out and saw someone with a gun, uh
8:41maybe a toy or something, and punched
8:42him in the face, well, guess what? We
8:44would go to prison because it wasn't a
8:45real gun. If that were a war, however, a
8:48soldier would shoot that person and it
8:50would be perfectly lawful under the
8:52Geneva Convention. But Labour and Andy
8:54Burnham want that soldier in that
8:56hypothetical uh situation to go to
8:58prison instead. They essentially are
9:01terrified of the idea of us having an
9:03armed forces because then that armed
9:05forces will be able to stand up against
9:07an evil tyrannical socialist government.
9:09So, they're trying to defang our armed
9:11forces and make them completely harmless
9:14so that there's never a risk of a Fabian
9:17communist or socialist government facing
9:19an uprising from within our own country.
