The decision to retire the Harrier was wrong. Unfortunately the Sea Harrier had already been retied by the last government back in 2002, making the Aircraft Carriers useless, they were withdrawn in 2006.
It was the Sea Harrier that saw action in the Falklands.

The Land Harrier is not designed for sea use and does not have the necessary protection for salt water conditions.

If I was a sacked RAF trainee pilot, or a redundant RAF pilot, I know what I would do.....Join Cathy, Emirates, Virgin, BA, or any other legacy airline around the world, less exciting, but tons more money.

I don't blame squadies wanting to leave the Army, after many many years of under supply and lack of equipment (are you listening Mr Bliar:eek:), being sent to fight a war, that was built on a lie regarding 45 minutes and sexing up of evidence, remember that???, who would not want to get out while they were still alive.

Unfortunately I don't believe I have seen a government in the 41 years I have been on this planet that gives a damm about the vast majority of the population..:D

Re: The Tories
 

There is no government on earth that gets everything right for every one of the people who voted for it.....and remember lots of people didn't vote for this particular shade of government.
The fact of the matter is that this government( and had it been a Labour Government it would have been the exactly same) inherited a poison chalice.
A country who was up to the eyeballs in debt because of previous lax financial policies......not to mention all the other problems(so I won't).
Labour says it wouldn't do what this coalition is doing, but....as I have said before. You can say anything you like when in opposition, because you know the theory wont be tested in the practical sense.
This is my last post to this thread.........I do not feel that replying to links posted from newspapers/news sites etc, with little more than a line of comment makes for anything of a discussion. It is just lazy posting.....not discussion.

I have stated elsewhere in other threads that I don't agree, with some of the measures the present Coalition Government are doing, despite that to all intents & purposes it's being run by "The Damned Tories" ! But Your cherished Labour wouldn't have been any better as they too would've had to share the platform with the Lib-dems for them to seriously have had any chance of continued tenure in office. But as MC Broon was in charge there was no chance.

Surely then If they'd have been the good Socialists you espouse them to be, quite simply for the good of the people & benefit & equality for all (the basic ground tenet of Socialism) McBroon & those associated with his despotic reign would've stepped aside for the benefit of all ? Er, I didn't see that happening ! In fact quite the opposite transpired it was more akin to the Roman senate of 44 BC ! Et tu, Brute ? ;)

Re: The Tories

Above taken from post 227

And again ! You're bleating on about not mentioning Labour can you please try & be a little more, precise, concise, definitive as to the point you're trying to make ! Then maybe we can give you a straight answer/reply. :confused:

Re: The Tories
 

http://th8.photobucket.com/albums/a1...miley-yawn.gif

Re: The Tories
 

Tell you what, let's start from scratch shall we ? You insist you haven't mentioned Labour fine, but all your arguments have been against the coalition, but to suit your purposes you've used the expression Tories/Cameron etc, etc thereby confirming your revulsion of all things Tory. The fact that it's a coalition running the country means their partners should also come in for derision & on occasion you've done so thereby also confirming your contempt for the Libdems & Clegg.

So by simple elementary deduction you are howling with indignation from a Labour standpoint ! Am I wrong ? Therefore to counter your limp arguments examples of Labour ineptitude & incompetence are held up as vindication to balance the argument (are you still managing to comprehend ?)

Where some possible confusion (on your part not mine) could have arisen is in your statement
"it gets more idiotic by the day replacing british pilots with foriegn ones i just dont get it talking about cheap labour this takes the biscuit Sacked RAF pilots replaced by foreign personnel - Telegraph :mad::mad::mad:":mad:
Here you use the word Labour but in the context of work & not politics my reply to which was
"What cheap labour ? The courses are being filled by other nations & they're paying, it'd be the same as you crossing the border to take driving lessons (read the article)."Also using the work context in this instance so you see I haven't used labour in the political sense so any twisting is of your own doing. ;) Now we're bang up to date can we now maybe carry on with a sensible discussion ?

Re: The Tories
 

At last ! Some common sense & an acceptance of facts.

Mancie, I'm rather surprised "Present Government" ??? Not Tories ? Are you at last accepting the fact that we have a Coalition in power ?

Marvellous, but if you hadn't been so intentionally inflammatory with your title "The Tories" & initial statement (just a quick reminder) "Anyting they do is a cock up..." perhaps the following 200+ posts wouldn't have been so acrimonious & degenerated into a slanging match about who's worse.

I agree that some of the decisions made by those in power have been atrocious & in all honesty can't see the benefit to the British people, but these measures have been brought about by the present Coalition Government due to the failings & weaknesses of past (I don't just mean labour also the Tories before them) poorly led & mediocre parties. Had we had some Politicians of strength, determined resolve & backbone the UK would definitely not be the miserable little Island it is now sitting in the shadow of Europe & America.

The once renowned Bulldog spirit of the British people, which at one time saw us controlling half the world & its resources, defend against major tyranny twice in the 20th Century with the associated loss to our Countries future due to the sacrifice of our military men, has gradually aided the decline of the Great British way of life & in the later more (peaceful ?) part of the 20th Century our gains & pride have been further eroded by self serving career politicians of all stripes. Therein lies the true failings of the UK, its feeble subservient political classes & until they are eradicated the UK will slip further into the mire !

Re: The Tories

Every man or women in this country should have proper care when needed and I'd say people in that position should be given more help both financial and medical .. .if that means higher taxes or if the country needs to borrow to help our own when they need it so be it I have no problem.

I do have a problem when people who took full advantage of the benifits that were in real terms increased after 1997 are now keen on the idea that this government should cut the income of the less well off (wether it be the low paid, those on benifits or tax credits) ..of a sudden it seems we have been spending to much on are ill people and the old or infirm.

In all seriousness, Mancie, although I like to characterize you and C'mon as classic "Citizen Smith" types, a constantly recurring theme of mine (to the point of tedium, some might say) is that I'd like to see MORE leftwing/Labour types arguing their point of view on here. Why don't Graham, Bernard, Claytonender, Clare Pritchard, Ken and others of a similar persuasion come on here and present a reasoned critique of the present government and, more importantly, suggest an alternative? I'd probably agree with some of their views. What winds people up (and to be fair,this is more C'mon's approach than yours) is a post consisting of a few garbled words followed by a link to some newspaper article. So come on, Labour party supporters, fight your corner! :)

Re: The Tories

Re: The Tories
 

I wouldn't say so, there are things that have been done by the present Government that I personally don't agree with & in that respect I would say that my views would be aligned with yours. Also the last Government did things I didn't agree with, but there isn't a lot that can be done to change the situation.

What I'd like to see is a ruling government, be it coalition or single party that puts the peoples opinions & concerns at the forefront of everything they do & working towards delivering exactly what people want as opposed to politicians lining their own nests & catering for the interests of their associates.

Re: The Tories
 

Me too son....But I reckon I might just die waiting for it to happen.

There is no political party that cares much for the hope, opinions or thoughts of the electorate........They are all cut from the same old musty bit of cloth....there is very little difference between what they do(which is, once in office, any old thing they want.... regardless of their promises) They spend time and energy back biting, name calling and point scoring......this energy could be better used to think up some relevant realistic plans to drag the UK out of the EU, close the gates to scroungers from other countries, and sort out the problems that beset the country.

Re: The Tories
 

This isn't proof of anything.

Economic growth from such a deep recession was always going to be choppy. There's nothing at all to suggest that an alternative plan to reducing the deficit would work better, it may even have delivered us worse growth figures, perhaps even negative growth.

Not dealing with the deficit hasn't exactly gone well for Greece and Portugal.

Re: The Tories
 

No, Andrew, I don't think it is that at all.

I am just sick of politicians saying one thing and doing another......not listening to the electorate on the things that the electorate consider to be important......I am fed up of them treating us all like we cannot use our critical thought processes......of them living high on the hog, while we struggle to make ends meet.......Spending money we cannot afford on things like the recent 'Happiness Index'.......what on earth was that all about?
And it cost us - the tax payer, 2 million pounds(or at least that is what is reported).
What kind of idiot spends money on something that an 11 year old could probably tell you?
