And Another Thing…

@Quietzapple
If you thought that Gordon’s background, including support for Raith Rovers, counted against him your kind would be banging on about it truthfully

Oddly enough, given his background, I am suprised at the actions of Brown.

Something went askew along the way.

@ Tom.

So, what proportion of the hundred thousand (ish) innocent iraqi civilians who’ve died as a result of the war should be attributed to Tony “Trust me” Blair?

Of course, if you (and the rest of the country) had known that the information Blair and Campbell published on Iraq, was deceitful and half of it written by a student; the Attorney General was unsure of the legality of the war and that the supposed WMD probably didn’t exist (and if they did, couldn’t possibly hurt the UK) – you might have voted differently. Your decision was based on deliberately inaccurate information.

The case for war MAY have been 51/49 – but Blair distorted the facts, lied and upped the odds. THAT is why he should NEVER be trusted again. As for installing him as EU President – they must be completely off their collective trolleys.

What happened to this post entitled ‘An inconvenient home truth?’ that appeared in my RSS reader?

Of course it was difficult, and that is not at all unusual in the experience of most who have actually had to decide how to vote on many issues, rather than in an election where most people take a rather general view and hope.

I doubted that Sadam any longer had any WMD materials and the rockets to deliver them together with the organisation to put the two together. But Dr Kelly, who was honoured for his work, and others had found a fair amount, including SCUDs which he had already used in the First Iraq war.

But I was Very glad not to have to have to back my view by a vote in the Commons. I pity those who did.

He was an evil man, war criminal & mass murderer, and his removal while he was in breach of UN resolutions, and the presence of the Allies in Iraq were big plusses in my book.

Had I known that the two religious factions would murder one another whole scale I would have asked wether such a slaughter would have occurred sooner or later in any case.

I now suspect that it would.

Anyone who has troubled to read the minor changes to the report read to the Commons which Campbell offered and exaggerated the importance of by using the term “sexed up” to refer to his contribution would realise that the pulfuggery on this is just that . . .

Suits the tory and leftie propagandists to exaggerate his influence.

I don’t know if there’s anything New Labour wouldn’t do in their quest to hand all of the UK’s power and influence into the hands of foreign governments.

At the moment I’m thinking of how you signed over British citizens to the USA with your lopsided extradition treaty and now Gary McKinnon has been told he must be tried in the ‘States and face the rest of his life behind bars, even though the ‘crimes’ were committed in the UK.

Tom, you wrote a post the other day about what a great guy Alan Johnson is.

Why won’t he ensure that Mr McKinnon can be tried in the UK, or preferably, be pardoned, as he has had this hanging over him for the past seven years?

He is an Asperger’s sufferer who hacked into US defense websites looking for info on UFOs.

Nobody died. The US should be thanking him for exposing their weaknesses before someone else did.

This government needs to start putting the British people first, and start that process with Gary McKinnon.

I really don’t know how any of you can sleep at night. Clearly Blair and Brown are sociopaths, but what excuse do the rest of you have?

EVERYONE in Israel suffers from religious persecution.

Still the correct decision though.

Go back and apply for immigration and, hopefully, we’ll welcome you with open arms.

It is commonly claimed by a certain sort of troll that the UK has an open doors immigration policy.

One of my daughters’ b/f before last was sent back to the USA, although he had a research job to go to because he had not filled in his paperwork properly.

My son’s band’s singer is rich as Croesus and on her bike because she didn’t study enough on her previous course here.

Asylum, like residence, is granted or not. We may look for justice, but the modern state must assume its rights in our collective interests.

“Get involved in a local church”.
I am completely disgusted that having an imaginary friend should have any bearing on asylum or immigration whatsoever. Are we living in the 17th century?
This is just appalling – if true.

Don’t worry, the public only mess about sometimes.

If you All do your jobs & keep your nerve we’ll take a closer look nearer the time.

Did you see the interview?

Watch his face. No way was he just picking a date out of the air or using a random example. This was the expression and voice of someone who’s used a date too often in discussions, conversations etc to remember not everyone knows what he knows. Poor Aimless, better practice your stapler-dodging.

Usually, yes.

I saw that interview and thought there was something very weird about ‘Elicopter Bob’s delivery. There was a noticeable pause, and then the words ‘after the sixth of May’ spoken very slowly and heavily emphasised, as if they were double-underlined on the autocue.

So I’m with the tin-foil hat brigade on this one. Ainsworth and the equally gaffe-prone Chris Bryant have been carefully selected for their track record of ineptitude and briefed by Gordon to accidentally-on-purpose reveal 6th May as the date; sadly ‘Elicopter Bob is so monumentally, heroically useless that he can’t even deliver a pre-scripted gaffe without screwing it up. Bless…..

I’m off to Ladbrokes first thing tomorrow to put some money on a March election, hedged with a smaller amount wagered on June.

Well if it is a ‘complex subterfuge’ I have absolutely no problem with it. Winding up the Tories is pretty much the only fun we get these days. I recommend that you put Lord Mandelson in charge of electioneering strategy.
