Well not as bad as maggie was
Clearly you have no idea what you're talking about.

From what i've jsut seen of the figures since 2007 the MoD funding has increased significently, and that excludes spending on operational costs. IN fact looking further the funding levels were fluctuating in real terms up and down till 02 at which point there have been year on year real term increases.
In fact we've the 3rd or 4th highest total spend on defence in the world after the US and China.
To me this clearly says that we're either overstretched with too large an armed force, or we're misspending the money, i'd personally go for a combination of the two with an emphasis on the mispending.
eh? He's the man directly responsible for those members of the armed services in Afghanistan. He can't complain or get upset when confronted with the relatives of those who have died. He has to put up with it, like it or not. It's his job.
Heres a novel idea to stop fuck ups like this happening. Why dont we just pull our troops out? We have MI5/6 to protect our country.
The war in Afgahanistan is one we will never ever win so really, what is the point?
He's a conniving, barely competent fucker who can't make proper decisions and when he does they are invariably done to try and get "one up" on the opposition in the media, ... He doesn't deserve to be Prime Minster and is just a slimy toad who slithered his way to the top through political manoeuvring and applying hard-ball and very unsavoury tactics to discredit his enemies and was not above getting them attacked on private lives, family members or just spreading filth.
Well he's not really is he, because if he was he'd be out there infront of them giving the orders out. He's inherited a war from Tony Blair, wrongly or rightly we are over there fighting. But to say one man is responsible for everyone that dies over there is a bit silly.
Instead of laughing at him, tell us why that wouldn't be the case?

40+ people from Scotland no less.
Here's my opinion on it:
- sensationalised bullshit news.
- Gordon is politically useless, but take a step back a minute and see this with some heart: the man lost a child and his other child suffers from cyctic fibrosis, he knows what loss is, he knows what suffering with a child is; I'm pretty sure this letter was written from the heart, with consideration and genuine compassion.
- so he got the name wrong... by one letter (and an honest mistake given the sound of the consonant). I also noticed he got the name wrong in Parliament - did anyone actually correct him after that incident and before the letter writing? I would get it if he wrote "Dear Mrs Fuckmyface" or "Dear Mrs Jones".
- I would be sickened if my own mother behaved like she did if I were to be killed, to then go to the press and publish details of the phone call and the letter just sums up what sort of idiot she is. Have some respect and dignity for your dead son.
I don't like Gordon, I don't like Labour; but this is fucking trash news. However, bad spelling and grammar is rife these days, we need to do something about it. The supposedly bright and well paid people I work beside can't get there, their and they're right along with:
"Your never going to believe it!"
"My never going to believe it?"
"You mean, you're never going to believe it?"
"Don't be a grammar nazi, grammar skills have went away these days"
"Oh do fuck off"
*sigh* sign 'o the times when the Prime Minister can't even sort his spelling out.
I had a dream where there was a TV show with Gordon Brown standing in the middle of a room. Celebrities lined up to do a one line insult and immediately punch him in the face.
Claudia Winkleman did the best insult/punch combo. Who'd have thunk it?
