Amazing, but certainly no surprise. Another example of the sheer brilliance of New Labour :grr:

All done to allow some faceless, wet, bureaucrat to be able to claim that they've done their bit to save money.

PATHETIC. :grr:

Yes, but the Government would have to set up a committee costing millions to see if you really need, and can justify the use of a bullet!

Trouble is, we will see it with the Tories as well. They might make it look a bit better in the short term to get votes but in the long term they will probably do the same thing.

We need a NDP (National Defence PArty) anyone willing to take the thrown? :thumb:

After reading the Nimrod thread, I'm getting close to thinking that Mr K***** is taking action against the wrong people - Messrs Brown and Bliar have got the blood of nearly 450 dead British servicemen on their hands plus countless who have been maimed - perhaps it is they who should be tried for manslaughter?

There is the UKNDA, but I don't think they are very organised. I know someone who would stand as an independent on the defence ticket though!

:grr: Just shows how weak and pathetic this country now is! Thanks to Labour and indeed the Conservatives next time around, who will be just as bad.
Give me an F.3 anyday!

The MOD-- government can only be described as the enemy with in,they care nothing for any thing but themselves,but why o why are all the others not giving the labour lot ear ache, are they in agreement with what is happening.It is sad and frustrating seeing a once great nations armed force being made to do more and more dangerous missions with barely enough kit, and having its ability to fight being eroded by those who are preaching support for them.The french had a great piece of kit for dealing with treachery , The Guillotine.
