Without wanting to sound like a supporter,.... what would you all have said if there hadn't been a visit?
Couldn't be bothered to .....
Doesn't care about.....
Always sends his cronies.....
Not in touch with the man on the front....
or would you all be saying
Look, he mised a golden photo shoot...
He was flying that way anyway, why didn't he pop in?...
If every political leader ALWAYS visited their troops on Christmas day, how long do you think it would take before some half brained terrorist worked out the sequence??
PLEASE lets think realistically. Any visit was better than no visit.
