Brown: I was wrong on defence spending

[dreamer75]

"The Prime Minister said that claims he had made in the House of Commons and in evidence to Sir John Chilcot's Iraq Inquiry had been incorrect. "

So he's either incompetent or deliberately dishonest.

Either way, terrible!

BBC last night even suggested it was good of him to admit he had made an error and how 'the tories' were likely to try and make some gain out of it.

It's called 'lying'. It also means that every other piece of 'evidence' he gave to Chilcot should also be checked and clarified as none of what he's said can be taken at face value.

Can't understand why the Mail, Telegraph etc aren't leading with this in huge headlines?

That filthy mendacious one-eyed scumbucket needs to be flown one-way back to Afghanistan, taken to Sangin, Musa Qala or some such location and made to walk, without the benefit of body-armour, vehicle or helicopter, around the village until he does the most useful thing of his life and triggers an IED that will hopefully mangle his body, leaving him with enough bodily faculites (including his one good eye) to then go and be passed thru the medical chain, to Selly Oak where he can lie in his own p1ss and st for days on end 'cos the doctors and nurses are too busy chasing targets and trying to work his Governments idiot NHS computer system.

Well said.

Bravo.

With him can go every scumbag Labour MP who's spent years feathering his nest, buying votes with benefits and other means and neglecting defence (they haave always struggled to find people to fill teh defence posts - they had to even turn to the fat useless turncoat Tory Quentin Davies to fill one of the posts). The Tories and Lib Dems can volunteer a few for their utterly feeble, disgraceful lack of opposition (these defence budget figures and official inflation figures have been available for years). Then the scumbag journos who spent years w@nking off at the thought of catching Bliar out on WMDs and giving little traitors like Galloway ample airtime while British soldiers have been killed and dismembered needlessly, the Paxmans, Humphreys et al - they can go along sans body armour for spending more time trying to catch out Tory politicians and giving the rest of the Labour filth an easy ride.

By then we'll hopefully exhaust the Taliban's supply of explosive (provided the idiots at DFID stop giving out fertiliser that gets used for IEDs) and the boys can come home and sort out the bigger problems we're going to face which will be serious social unrest when someone actually has to try and fix this thoroughly broken, utterly scr3w3d country.

Top post.

Well done that man.

It does make you wonder, as JasandJules said, why Perverting the Course of Justice isn't being applied. It wouldn't seem to be inappropriate at all. And would, without a doubt, be demanded had anyone else done the same ...

A law unto themselves unfortunately, hence Blair isn't sat in a comfy chair in The Hague. Talking to an inquiry that actually has teeth. Instead of talking to the Chilcot lot which is nothing but a circus to make those in power feel good and the media feel like questions are being answered.

fido]In his defence [pardon the pun said:

Maths isn't really his strong point.

neither is writing as that dreadful letter to the mother of a dead soldier proved

or leading his party as several attempts to dethrone him and accusations of bullying proved

or decision making as the sale of our gold proved

or being a capable chancellor as our screwed economy proves

etc etc
