And while the new Commander of BATSUB is disavowing responsibility
for the grenades and the two deaths they have caused – the Prime Minister
agrees that indeed, there’s nothing really that can be done to compel
the British Forces to accept even indirect responsibility. Here’s what
he told us about it today.
Jules Vasquez,
“That they are morally responsible for this and have to input materially
to assist us. Send Scotland Yard, whomever.”
Hon. Dean Barrow, Prime Minister
“We can do that but you know the old complaint about Perfilius Albion and in terms of British statecraft, I don’t know that moral suasion will
ever work. But anything is worth a try, except that it is now our primary responsibility
to try to get these grenades off the street so to the extent that we can appeal
to the British fine, let’s us do so but sleep with your own yes.”
