NURSE,

I think the word you are looking for is 'lose', but there again, given the state of this government you may well be right.

Doesn't he hace a constituancy where they hope to build some new toys for the RN? Perhaps its a case of quitting before the cancellation is announced?????

Bring back Des. Part-time maybe but he did stay the pace.

PS, on second thoughts, don't.

I had Dr John's H&S Policy on 2 sides of paper, Swiss took, IIRC, 6, by the time we got to John H it was back to 3.

Bob Ainsworth - New SoS Defence
 
BBC are reporting that the former Armed Forces Minister has stepped up to be SoS.

SOS? Indeed - what a complete muppet into one of the great offices of State. :{

Shameful, Gordo, Shameful :ugh:

Now he has got a pay rise and a bigger office maybe he can afford to pay for his own decorating....

Guzlin Adnams 5th Jun 2009 13:38

Upgrade our PAN to a full MAYDAY.

According to Wiki he was "a candidate member of the International Marxist Group", who are fans of Trotsky.

A former trade-unionist at Jaguar, so he'll be a fan of buying British, so I don't fancy the chances of the Puma upgrade being done outside the UK.

A truly awful man with his face very firmly in the Westminster nosebag. Thankfully, it will only be for a max of 12 months.

What could possibly go wrong in those 12 months?:ugh:

I would like to extend my congratulations to "former" communist Ainsworth, that nice working class lad, on hearing news of his new promotion. I do hope, he now has enough money to install oak beams in the rest of his house, by using monies from his own purse, rather than claim expenses meant for essential parliamentary work.

I am "heartened" by your representation of working class people up and down the land...............

Lord Elpus 5th Jun 2009 14:48

Well every cloud and all that: Buff Hoon has finally walked!! Another truly awful slimeball of a SoS.


Now Hoon has always stayed on regardless as he's a horrid toady, therefore, how bad is this govt/Broon for him to walk out???

Hopefully, this lot will be gone very very soon.
