A human rights lawyer who brought abuse claims against UK troops after the Iraq War has been struck off for misconduct.
Phil Shiner, from the now-defunct law firm Public Interest Lawyers, had 12 charges of misconduct proved against him by a panel of the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal.
He had admitted acting recklessly by publicly claiming UK troops unlawfully killed, tortured and mistreated Iraqis.
The defence secretary said Mr Shiner had "made soldiers' lives a misery".
Sir Michael Fallon told the BBC he was "delighted" that Mr Shiner had been "exposed".
How can tossers like this sleep at night?
I expect more misconduct cases to emerge for these traitorous blood-sucking scum

Disgraceful example of priveleged arsehole putting himself above the law he pretends to uphold.
Was he basically accusing British Soldiers of doing things in Iraq they didnt actually do? (i.e. Cold Blooded Murder etc.)
Maybe everyone else feels as vicious towards this life form as I do. Evil, horrible human being.
Being struck off is not nearly enough punishment.
The general feeling among them is that in general they feel let down by the government, however this decision will go someway to redressing the balance.
Good riddance.
Wonder if the petition to string the fecker up from a lamp post by his nadgers has reached 10 yet?
Along side that other dodgy Lawyer Gareth Pierce,
but we all know this won't happen!
I hope that the CPS is making a thorough investigation of this man's activities, at least as thorough as the investigations into alleged 'murders' committed by British troops in Ireland over forty years ago for which ex soldiers will soon be standing trial
In my view that explains the lack of reaction.
