Why's Gordon smiling? 10:12am on 03 Dec 2009 99 - Naomi,

I am in full agreement with you, The whole PMQ's yesterday was an embarrisment.

- The Speaker, is shown to be a smirking goon, needs to sort his act and and if he is to give an MP a b*******g, it should be understood as just that, rather than giggle about it afterwards in "Gosh! Only joking" manner, I hope Labour are pleased with themselves elevating this nobody to such an important post, especially in light of the failings of the last Bounderby.

- Brown, has always had a contempt to PMQ's and should be told (again by the speaker) it is not a sounding board for opposition policy, but for him as PM to explain his governments policies and actions.

- Cameron, obviously has had his fingers burnt from last week (should have checked your facts Dave). However, you don't have to wait too long before Brown drops the ball again, and I dare say he'll be upbeat again.

- Balls............world fail, a Sontaran with a wig.

- Why is Brown Happy?

For once he has some alignment with the Messaiah that is Obama, and he is currently radiating in his holy light. That said, Obama is in a world of pain back home, and the light is failing a little bit.

This isn't demorcracy this is pure theatre.
Introducing green cuts 2:35pm on 24 Nov 2009 All this talk is a load of hypocritical Rubbish.

I still can't believe the Ed Miliband had the bare faced cheek last year, increasing the UK Carbon emission reduction to 80 per cent by 2050 for household (because it was all our fault). Shortly before sitting there sagely nodding next to Geoff Hoon who proceeded to announce the desire for a new runway at Heathrow with an increase of 700,000 more take offs and landing (very green).

Rubbish I tells you

I'd say the last 12 years have been pretty good, on balance. Just look at the new hospitals, the rebuilt schools, the thousands more children with nursery places, all those low-paid workers guaranteed a decent(ish) minimum wage, the reduction in crime and the improved relations with our European neighbours.

Stop talking Britain down!

I'm working in Poland at the moment, and I have to say, based on what I've witness here, further European integration will be a very good thing - provided it brings us up to their level and not them down to ours.

Well, you've got me confused, or are you merely refering to us the voters? or actually the not allowed to Voters?
If you thought it was all over... 4:27pm on 19 Nov 2009 Grandantidote

Glad to see you are still around,(always am a little concerned when you go quiet for too long).

Have to tell you I went sailing for the first time ever last month. Loved it.
If you thought it was all over... 3:03pm on 19 Nov 2009 I've Noticed a some but not a lot of unfounded blind pro-Blair defense:

64 "Blair is generally held to be one of the most charismatic and capable politicians of the modern era"

But if you look beyond the naieve and misguided, patronising statements of these condesending posters,Blair is generally held to be one of the most self serving, self promoting, greedy, Messianic politicians of the modern era, and for that reason alon would have become a major embarrisment as president of the EU. If you are anti-EU a string even minded president is essential, Tony Blair isn't it.
If you thought it was all over... 11:53am on 19 Nov 2009 I have heard some European experts claiming The EU need Blair as a figure head to renew Europes profile on the World Stage.

That doesn't really cut it for me.

Firstly and Personnaly because I can't stand Blair, and a knock to that shallow ego of his is a long time in the making.

More importantly (IMHO) is that now we have had the Eurpoean Constitution thrust upon us. All EU states should have the opportunity to get comfortable in thier own skin, and have a significant settling in period prior to a World Charm Offensive, Pennys to Pounds we have a few years all pulling in opposite directions.

(we'll still loose the European Song contest anyway).
Afghanistan ifs and maybes 09:42am on 18 Nov 2009 Bomb Disposal Engineer was killed over the weekend undertaking Counter IED Search, High percentage of his team casi vaced back to the UK.

TA Bomb Disposal Troop in Reigate (Only One TA Bomb Disposal Regiment in Country). Is facing closure, due to cuts.

The Government truely are not taking this war seriously.

....so the point of the occupation was?...........
Afghanistan ifs and maybes 2:55pm on 17 Nov 2009 52 DB

"I guess your one of those imperial conservative minded folk, that still believes that Britain should go it alone."

Well is very much depends on the motives of your Government, they sent them there.

You are right why is it that we have had the second largest force in Iraq and Afghanistan? Another question to dodge Del. We certainly haven't got the second largest army, by any stretch of the imagination.

It isn't the Army who made the commitment to these campaigns it was however lilly livered cowards like Blair, and Brown.
Afghanistan ifs and maybes 2:25pm on 17 Nov 2009 31 Derek

Yes I understand the post, it was you who made the comparisson.

Answer this what has changed in Afghanistan that has envoked Brown to make this statement?

The statemen flies in the face of What McCrystal is doing, who is the Commander there, and also in everything the UK Commanders are trying to achieve decounting of course Jock Strirrup, Gordons Puppet.

Right now and bear in mind the empty vastness of Helmand, we are occupying small villages securing them, pull back, the villages are then taken back over by the Taliban.

You must be aware, we are dealing with a Feudal state, there can never be a true Govenment in Afghanistan. It is like fighting a war with people of a mind set some 400 years in the past with mobile phone and 4 x 4's. The education of the security and law agencies (Army is working, Police forget it.) will take years and years. It is correct that there should be a stratergy, but it is one that needs to be consistant. If it is a simple pull out as is the inference (comencing next year), than it is a con from the PM.

If we are to achieve what the Governemnt have initally committed us to achieve (whatever it is this week). A final pull out isn't on the cards for the forseeable future.

The change is a political one and that is Brown has a campaign in his hands that he has never had any interest in or taken seriously (5 Defense Secretaries in 4 years, ending to Bob Ainsworth - god help us). Every death is an embarrasment to him to because of the fact that he had never taken the Armed Forces seriously until now. Read the SDR report at the start of this Government and see what has been addressed within it. Brown and the government do what they always do, knee jerk reponse to bad press, issue a headline grabber, in a cheap attempt to save some face, but with not reason of substance to it.

Pleb I may be, that however That much preferanle to being the blind puppet mouthpiece of a Charlatan as you seem to be Derek.
