Play :: London's burning! A civil war is raging in modern England threatening to turn the land of cricket, and warm beer into a hell of displaced people, rape, child soldiers and warlord militias where violence is trumps, and the laws of war are screwed up and used to light the campfires. Human Rights Watch applies the skills it has learned in Sri Lanka, Georgia, and the Democratic Republic of Congo to this blessed plot, this realm, this England.
