Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders.
What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

Farage can now be easily boxed in to a corner where his only ‘defence’ becomes: “Yes I spouted Kremlin propaganda & Putin worship but, unlike Nathan Gill, I didn’t need bribes to do it.”
It is, once again, a question of whether interviewers have the temerity to shut down his whining obfuscations.

The next Budget could define Rachel Reeves’ legacy – and maybe Labour’s future.
Rumours are she's backing off balancing the books with one bold move, favouring a dozen small ones that will anger everyone.
Here’s a menu of her choices.
