Senator Kelly is correct.
Plus a Public Service Announcement:
KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1.
The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal:
"orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

I expected the media to turn on Labour if they disadvantaged the wealthy in favour of poor working people. We voted them in to do this. If anyone voted Labour and didn’t expect the rich to be upset by their decisions, they were naive to say the least!

He got the generic turkey because I assume that he did not want to pay extra for the thoroughbred or pedigree turkey
Kevin Hassett: "Turkey prices were down 19 cents. I bought two different ones because some other show was criticizing me because I said, 'Oh, generic turkeys are pretty good.' So I made two this time and I didn't really notice the difference, so buy the cheaper turkey next year, folks."

That's how it works when the rich own the media. Owning the media gives them more power than being a politician and they're not up for election every few years. Time to bring in laws to make the media neutral in its reporting. These rabid headlines against helping the poorest are revolting.
The rich did not like the budget. So are we going to have months of the right wing media lead by The Mail, Telegraph and #BBCLaurak attacking it?

#bbclaurak #trevorphillips I am so sick of the Sunday morning political programmes. I actually wanted to hear more about the budget + what impact it would have on the country. But both programmes are just trying to get a gotcha moment with Rachel Reeves. It is so boring listening to these questions!

Through his life and extraordinary talent, the immigrant and refugee child Tomáš Sträussler who became known to us all as Tom Stoppard made British theatre and this country a better place to be.
You might even argue that he helped redefine Englishness through his astonishing legacy of work.
