Fallon's speech makes it seem that he wants the UK to follow a US model of military-led foreign policy.
Which, I guess, means following a US-like approach to international law - Do without the unilateral / multi-lateral agreements, and make up their own shit as they go, bilaterally, tied in with the carrot & stick of bilateral trade agreements.
Well good fucking luck with that - because, you know, our trade position is so strong.
Unless, of course, we just do what the US wants. Because sovereignty.

This stuff about exempting the army from the ECHR sounds like something that will be talked about in future documentaries with ominous music playing in the background.
