I was of course being far too simplistic and agree fully with your comments. Your last paragraph is also very correct- as we too have a conservative government- not that we voted for one.
I have tremendous respect for the armed forces and their families, suffering tremendously as a result of these cowboy politics.
Quite literally cowboy as well as anyone who has studied the walk affected by Tony Blair over the last two to three years- check it out and then look at how he used to walk (You tube should have something). Slight swagger, slight lean and arms poised ready to draw his six shooters, don his stetson and ride to the support of Wild George.
