1) Mead Pusher we do indeed elect REPRESENTATIVES to Parliament who immediately and miraculously decide they are then DELEGATES and have no real need to REPRESENT the people who voted for them. That in my mind is not very democratic.
2) IF (as we are told) part of the reason for being in Afghanistan is to stop the heroin trade why dont we just destroy the bloody poppy crops? What am I missing?
3) How much are the hand of our troops tied with idiotic rules of engagement? Can they not be given a free hand? (leave political correctness aside please)
