Just visiting for a little while.
I’m still trying to sort some stuff out but hope to be posting more frequently soon.
And as the Real IRA attempt to restart the troubles, it has an ally in The Daily Mail and those who comment on its site. Anything to boost readership.
From The Telegraph:
“The Ministry of Defence has launched a HM Armed Forces Action Man-like toy doll in a move to raise the profile of British troops.”
Reminds me of this old pic from 2006.
Our soldiers are not being short-changed

The PR machine goes into action.
After the success with the Prince Harry movie (soon to be released on a 3 quid DVD by a shifty looking bloke carrying a bag around areas of high unemployment) the single is now coming out. Maybe a musical is in the offing.
The SWP greeted Harry’s return with dismay, stating the young prince was “oversexed, overpaid and back over here.”
Harry was offered another posting where he would again have to endure makeshift washing facilities, extreme conditions, poor food and having to shit in the dark while people bumped into him. This time he turned the opportunity down saying he didn’t much care for standard army accommodation in Hounslow.
Gordon Brown earlier “I have nothing for respect for our forces.”
Translation – “I don’t have any more money for them.”
I’m pretty sure the other day, Gordon Brown also claimed that the necessary helicopters were “on the ground”.
Which ground, what country and are they in a fit state of repair ?
Try getting them in the air, dickhead.
Brown and Browne will, of course, be robbing Peter to pay Paul by prioritising treatment for the armed forces.
I completely agree with taking care of our forces but it is a further insult to them (and the public) to refuse additional funding for this when billions are spent at the drop of a hat to bale out financial institutions.
