POLITICIANS MAKING CHANGES!
 
On top of the extremely generous 40 minutes of free phone calls for Armed Forces personnel, the Government today announced that military chiefs will have to be more open about the UKs special forces after the events of 9/11 (or 11/9).

"Their prominence means their equipment, size, and capabilities may have to be discussed publicly"

The politicians also doubt the MODs ability to respond such an attack seen on 9/11.

Finally, they feel that the TA should be responsible for dealing with nuclear, biological, or chemical attacks.

Cos all the Regulars will have been sent off around the world on Tony Blairs (Billy LIARs)European Presidential election campaign policy to save the world from Gov'ts and regimes that do not actively try to stop terrorism blah blah.
Maybe the RAF should take on the role cos the chamber here in the Emerald toilet has never been so busy with them since Sept 11!!!

Certainly warty one. :)

Jocksteve said "..the TA should be responsible for dealing with nuclear, biological, or chemical attacks."

I then said "...Maybe the RAF should take on the role..." (mud becomes soup) ;)

because ".....the chamber (place where you practice NBC stuff) here in the Emerald toilet has never been so busy with them since Sept 11!!!" (soup becomes crystal clear) :p

Any other probs feel free and ask.

(If your CIA I don't know where OBL is, :( and if your that yank precision munitions guy again we'll do lesson 2 of "How to enter the correct Lat & Long" tomorrow.
:eek:
