this is the end of the matter legally because this is the high court and we have a supreme court but i'd rather those to be on the people i couldn't say but i do believe that it will have a good amount of food for a british court to decide because. apparently the just the crime of aggression doesn't exist to the british royal thing that's the end of the matter. over was when they were. yet if the criminal aggression doesn't exist do you think something else he could be charged with he would have to face trial for. well of course that's always possible yes but. just one of. might be. able to say i think there's a lot of of course opinion in britain is divided but now i think the majority is very much critical condemns the war and in the war i think i think i'm right in saying that and no doubt lots of people will have examined the story to see whether there is any legal recourse but i think the truth is the version. you might say this is a matter for the international criminal court but the international criminal court doesn't deal with the crime of aggression so there's no wrong ther
