I’m not sure if Reyaad Khan or Ruhul Amin - the two ISIS fighters killed by an RAF drone strike - were personally responsible for throwing two gay men off a roof in Homs two months ago. Perhaps they were part of the mob that waited below to throw rocks at their broken bodies.

Anyway, we’ll never know now, because they’re dead. And I’m glad they’re dead. I wish all the Isil butchers were dead. Drones. Smart bombs. The tip of a bayonet. It doesn’t really bother me how. The more of them we can kill, the better.

The Left have immediately scrambled to the top of the moral high ground. The rule of law has been traduced. The state cannot act as judge and executioner. We are destroying the very values we are supposedly defending.

But even if it wasn’t legally correct, it was morally correct. These men were Isil fighters. We know this because they told us they were. They posed for photos. The issued statements. They posted videos.

I can take the hard-Left's ideological purity. But I’m sick to the back teeth of their presumption of moral superiority. If you genuinely think we would be living in a better world today if Reyaad Khan and Ruhul Amin were happily driving along to the scene of their next mass rape then it’s you, not the so-called liberal interventionists, who should be taking a look at your personal value system.

Actually, it’s not just the hard-Left’s righteous arrogance and own moral hypocrisy that is so staggering. It’s the fundamental lack of humanity.

Well said, it needed saying. When the likes of Corbyn say the killing of Osuma Bin Ladin was a tragedy one has to wonder why his removal from this Planet has been a set back.

No we cannot get a Court of Law to sanction every action that is necessary to eradicate this World of the likes of ISIL and/or individuals acting under their banner. We are not ordered in a way that such is possible, not even the UN could or would make this necessary action a possibility. There is a judgement to be made of the consequences of acting or not acting. As we have seen the anti-war mongers took away the stick to beat Assad over the head and now millions are refugees. If we wait until some Court of Law provides a warrant for us to legally act, then we will wait forever and the World will see many more refugees on the march.

Isn't that completely out of context?
Yes
