Armed Forces Day

[Mixed Bitter]

PM attends Armed Forces Day celebration in Liverpool.


Corbyn (government-in-waiting) plus others of his ilk attend CND gathering at Glastonbury.


Compare and contrast.

I enjoy living in a country where folks can pretty much do, and believe in, what they want - even if that extends to buying the Daily Mail:ok:

[tmmorris]

Of course. But one is also entitled to draw conclusions about character etc. from people's behaviour.

Did he sing that international French song? :E

CK, agree.

[JAVELINBOY]

His choice, whatever he does it will not change my view of him, never get my vote.

CK, agree.

I heard it was a heart-felt rendition of Serge Gainsbourg / Jane Birkins' 'Je T'aime ... Moi Non Plus' in a fit of dewy-eyed nostalgia back to that long hot summer with Diane

A year back I met a Latvian. Told her Riga was one of our targets. She didn't understand why we would attack Riga and had no knowledge of the cold war, an event years before her birth.

Would those aged 35 been as aware of WW1 in 1943 had WW2 not occurred?

So what. It hasn't changed my opinion of either of them.

well, say what you like about Jeremy Corbyn, but he is a very brave man.
he deserves the George medal for sleeping with Diane Abbott.:yuk:

No, that just displays a lack of judgement and standards. It does, however, point to a degree of courage.

Courage, my 4rse, Melchie!

There will be some on here who served in Germany at the end of the eighties with memories similar to mine..... my 8 month pregnant wife having to search for bombs under her car before driving. There is a politician who will NEVER get my vote.

[Wander00]

Well, if Comrade Corbyn became PM we would probably not have Armed Forces Day, it would become cuddly CND Day.

Thanks a lot, Melchett! You have implanted an image in my brain which can never be erased! :ooh:

Sorry Basil, but war is often a nasty business!

Who Went for a Ride on a Tiger.
They finished the Ride
With the Lady Inside -
And a Smile on the Face of the Tiger !"

That's alright. You stick your cross next to Tory imbecile instead. Its so much better to vote for a party who are happy arming a current terrorist supporting nation state.

Or do you throw your vote away on UKIP, before marching off to Dover to shout across The Channel?

I worked for a short period for a large US company in the UK when it was Veterans Day. They wanted photos of all ex service men and women and presented them at a team meeting where everyone celebrated their service to their respective countries. It's the only place I have worked as a civvy where people came up and asked me what I did when I was in.

And on a similar note to Riga, my wife told me a few years ago that I was never in a war (we were talking about soldiers mind). I said what about the Cold War?

What was that? She replied.

It's not just the youngster that are unaware.

I didn't even know there was an Armed Forces Day.

The city centre where I was (pop. 774,100) had no signs of it what so ever.

Just another day.

I always thought the same about Op Telic and Herrick, the civilians going about their daily business were far removed and never knew it was happening.

As has been said, not in the US of A!

JC's Glasto visit makes clear that in the unlikely event the country has any money left at all after a year or two of his Marxist economic policy (name one instance where it's spelled other than financial disaster) military spending will be last priority. And while still on Glastonbury, JC Promised the organiser he'd get rid of Trident "as soon as possible,". Surely it's traditional to at least get elected before reneging on manifesto promises?

Did you compose that yourself Danny Boy?:ok: It certainly induced a chuckle!

As for Corbyn, oh and McDonnell as well, they clearly feel they are on a roll politically and will be buoyed by the reception at Glastonbury, no matter that McDonnell made sweeping accusation of murder. It does, however, also pull away the masks of political deception.;)

FB,

Sadly, no - it's one of those good old 'uns that came to mind. As for Glastonbury, I hope it buckets down on the place !
