A Genuine Defence Related Question
 

To Danny and the Mods

Given that the change of the MOD to the MOD & Scotland has far reaching implications for Defence and all those of the Lt Blue, Dk Blue and Green, please could I ask why the thread on Gordon Brown's invention of this new Department has been locked?

Do you get lent-on by Labour Spin Doctors?

Or are you all just Labour voters and therefore will not accept criticism of The Party?

Or do you just wish to be non-political?

If it is the latter please could you say so? Then we can all steer away from Defence related political debate.

Lets see how long it will be before this thread is snipped :ooh:

I am only just used to wearing purple pants, now do I have to wear a purple kilt instead?

Did ye no ken? There's nae end tae the reach o' Gordy's 'Clunking Fist', its even reached proone!
We'll hae nae cheek fae youse peasants now bidin' in occupied 'Greater Scotia (South)'. :}

So, El Gordo has created 'MinSAD' - how very appropriate.

Now we hear that Jack, Man of Straw, is advocating 'power to the people'....

For how much longer can the country tolerate these Labour losers?

No ye've got it a' wrang! Defence isnae amalgamatit wi' the Scotland Office, Defence is noo pairt o' the Scotland Office!

The BBC gets telt today that weekly screenings o' the White Heather Club are tae start forthwith. Next year it becomes the SBC when Jim Naughtie is appointit DG.

In case ye havnae noticed, ye've been subjectit tae a coup doon there! ;)

And still a deafening silence from the Mods....
 

Seems there's also been a post removed from the Fat Gordon thread. Can't remember what is was though.

I feel sorry for the Scots. What hope is there now they have been lumped together with the b'stard child know as Defence. :hmm:

How unofficial Service websites are putting the frontline online

Doubt you will get any mod brave enough to come in here and offer a credible reason for closing the other thread............as there isnt one :rolleyes:

This move by Broon to create MinSAD (thanks BEags) is simply a mark of how much respect he has for the military. He leaves Strangely Browne in charge and effectively makes it a part-time job by giving the useless one two briefs.

In a short space of time MinSAD will probably be taken over by the FCO on the grounds that all conflicts will now only take place overseas and Scotland, having devolved powers, is effectively a foreign state. And all this can be covered by Milipede or whatever his name is.

An Teallach,

Er, I would just like to point out that I am on nowhere as intimate terms with our new PM as you would appear to suggest!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pr00ne

I'm having a hard job imagining what's worse - the thought of my (wholly unintentional) double-entendre, or GBZ's appalling pun!

Apologies for having forgotten you, pr00ne. However, I hear that as long as you can outrun the pampers-clad rocking-horse cavalry, you should remain quite safe! ish. :uhoh:

That git Fat Gordon's causing friction here on pprune, how much more of this can I take ....:\

At least the Olympics gets it own SofS. Shows you exactly where we are on the ladder of importance. What was that Gord said on the news today referring to the potential London car bomb? Oh yes, "...the first priority of any Government is to to look after the security of its people". Isn't that called Defence?

Sorry, An T, I misread your post....

I now see that you wrote 'hard'...:ooh:

Beags

It took me a moment or 2 to work out what you were wittering on about. Fortunately there was no-one around when it dawned on me!

I think we can safely assume that the mods will be consigning this literary masterpiece of political commentary to the dustbin now!

when we talk about Tri-service stuff as Purple couldn't we now call it Tartan?
