The most scandalous aspect of this dire affair is that, had the "cadets" not disgraced themselves so badly it is doubtful that many people in this country would have learnt that UK facilities are being used in this way at all.
Despite the shenanigans, Colonel Ali el-Karom, the military attaché at the Libyan embassy in London said (among other things) "...we will still need the training from the MoD in order to make our country strong and secure,” Since when has it been the responsibility of the UK to make Libya strong and secure and what's in it for us anyway?
The ridiculous acquiescence of the UK authorities also beggars belief. Apart from the usual nonsense of providing a mosque and other "Muslim compliant" facilities, even a monument erected in honour of WW2 U.S. servicemen was fenced off when cadets arrived. It was thought the statue, featuring the propeller of a B-17, would upset them. Why on earth do we continue with this appeasement?
In any case, their misbehaviour is all the fault of the UK authorities apparently. Earlier in the week one of those suspected of sexual assault suggested (and this has been confirmed by one of the articles that AOG provided) that the UK authorities failed in their duty by not teaching the trainees (who seem to be in their 20s and 30s) what is right and what is wrong. So I assume that violent sexual assault and rape is perfectly acceptable in Libya. No wonder they want their country to be "strong and secure".
Stand by for those accused (and probably a few more) to lodge their applications for asylum on the basis they will be in peril as a result of their misdemeanours should they return and for the Prime Minister to announce that they would not be allowed to remain here (as it will probably make him “physically sick“ if they were). Meanwhile whilst copious appeals are launched against every decision that goes against them they will quietly melt into the Muslim "community" here and remain forevermore.
