New labour smear machine at full throttle again

[jesusbuiltmycar]

Now it is time to smear a distinguished army officer, days before his retirement, for daring to critise Nu Labour over the treatment of the armed forces.

After smeargate & McBride I would of thought these tw@ts had learned their lesson!

Why should it suprise us - Nu Labour after all.

Absolutely disgusting

[JJCW]

Could be true, or it could be something planted by opposition to make labour look worse (is that possible?)

Being poly educated is a bad thing?

[grumbledoak]

The ghastly little 'men' really do have no class or honour at all, do they?
A big fat pension at our expense, no doubt.

Trying to upset the Army!

That's a very courageous policy, we've never had a military coup in this country, but there's always a first time.

I think what General Cromwell did can be described as a coup since he removed the functioning governing body at the time.

It was a Parliamentary coup, Cromwell was the MP of Huntingdon and had no proper military experience. He only became a General later in the Civil War so an Army based hasn't really happened.

Also as they swear allegiance to her nibs, they could just step in if they want (unless the oath has changed since my day)

Their loyalty is to the Queen, unless it has been changed to:

I swear by God this sacred oath that I shall render unconditional obedience to Adolf Hitler Gordon Brown, the Führer of the German Reich New Labour Homeland and people, supreme commander of the armed forces, and that I shall at all times be ready, as a brave soldier, to give my life for this oath.

Without having to dig my oath of allegiance out I can state that when I joined I swore allegiance to the Queen.
Having had experience of the sleaze mongering and gutter tactics of the GMB it's no wonder that the retard became a politician who has no respect for those who serve their country as he would rather milk it dry to feather his own nest.

A disgrace.

No doubt Labour will lose the next general election. Unfortunately it will be the Concervatives that will get in, which is basically the same party, and everything will carry on just as always.

New Labour...contemptible bunch of misfits

No they aren't the same party.

But if that wasn't enough - no everything will not carry on just the same.

It's going to be much, much, MUCH worse in some ways. Because the Cameroons are going to HAVE to plan on balancing the books. Labour are currently "printing" the national debt - and that can't last for ever...

I was thinking of when he used musketeers to dissolve the Rump by force. But I suppose it's not a definitive/great example. The closest we have come to one though I think.

[Guybrush]

I'm surprised he didn't have some sort of "accident" or maybe kill himself in strange and impossible circumstances.

It has to get worse before it gets better. If you max out every credit card and overdraft limit, you don't regain financial health without tightening your belt. The Labour Party though is like the typical daytime TV watcher who goes for a consolidation loan and hopes to win the lottery.

I'm surprised this thread wasn't resurrected when General Dannatt's expenses were revealed (apologies if it has been mentioned elsewhere).

Expenses for General Dannatt for the past four years, which included entertaining foreign Chiefs of Staff (Lidl and Tesco food used in many occasions):

£20,000

Expenses for Bob Ainsworth, Defence Secretary, for 2005-2008 (figures for last financial year not yet available):

£395,000

I guess Nu Labia's plan backfired then - even if his expenses were more than the average MP's I wouldn't mind, as his position is far more important than 99% of those seated in the Commons.


Well done Sir.
