Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Yes, but why are the tories going along with it?

Perhaps, they were looking through the "lost" files during Thatcher's and Leon Brittan's period in office.


Wonder what Tory Central Office has to say, if, as is said, they have been found?

The mantras maybe to smother them again!

Max - Spot on! cynic - Nicola also says she will go with Labour only if they abandon Trident. Wee Alex (twat)?

Labour are history in Scotland!

scams
much more pernicious than the fairly standard type that fred mentioned, is the one that tells you that your Google Chrome needs to be updated, always presupposing that you run that!
though it looks completely legit, do not do so, for though it is quite easy to elminate after the event should you do so, it's a real pain

chris - it is fortunate for SNP that the independence vote went against them ..... a snippet on the news last night re aberdeen is the tip of the iceberg

I get some pretty good ones and quite regularly too. They are really clever and all have the pertinent company logos and graphics. Here's a selection:

cynic - Wont stop them they are hell bent on Independence, Salmond v Sturgeon will she be able to shake him off wouldn't bet against her. The Greens gaining popularity in Scotland will not help Labour either, Millibandus if he had a gun would love to shoot that Abbot woman for agreeing that Trident must not be funded. LOL you couldn't make it up.

They dont query the figures hays because they know they are heading for government and to change them would look like disaster overnight.

Use your loaf for a change.

Bollocks!

chris - despite the bluster, the chill blast from the collapsing oil prices will have sobered up many ..... i concur that more autonomy will be demanded in the next parliament, but with what trade-off

cynic - There lies the question :0)

All will be revealed on the Andrew Marr show on Sunday when one of the guests is Nicola Sturgeon. Gawd help Andrew Marr - Sturgeon was interviewed on Channel 4 news last night and the interviewer couldn't get a word in edgeways.:-)

if you're lucky, any revelation will be from what she doesn't say

All the MPs are unhappy that Chilcot is delayed. However, it is not up to the government when it is published. There has to be a period of reply to allegations and comments, which is where we are now. It is Chilcot himself who is holding up the process. If Labour had not tried to delay the start for several years, we would be reading it now.

Is Cruella deliberately holding up the paedophile inquiry?

If so, for what reasons?

Who has the dossier now?

If so which pages are being redacted?

Come on Haze, you say you have friends in high places, you should know.

I think the Chilcot report is a complete waste of time, firstly its already been censored as to the detail of information that's going to be publicised anyway. Second is the cost of this report, money well spent I think not. And finally your never going to get a report that states war was the wrong action, the report will just justify why we entered into war with a watered down version of the known facts at the time.

Shortie,

Not so sure.

I think there will be a justified condemnation of "justification" of the Iraqi war.

I think some will be placed on the "Security Forces" for their "opinions" and find Blair's decision making "questionable".

Also, may condemn the post conflict planning by UK and USA which appears minimal and atrocious.

I was against the war, but think Blair like the present government has to much belief in his own ability and judgements (MAD or Deluded).

===============

I would like to see the Falklands war and Belgrano sinking re-examined.

I wonder what the bill has been for the continuing defence of that rocky base has been over the last 35 years

====

Perhaps, it may prevent wars decided by the Whim of the Governing "bodies"!

I will have to watch it, there are 5 "I" in that post.

The report is surely going to heavily criticise the 'intelligence' which Blair used to 'con' everyone into believing that Saddam Hussein had 'weapons of mass destruction' and was also 'imminently about to launch an attack on the west' and so needed 'taking out' asap.

'IYSWIM'

Shortie, agreed. These reports generally take far too long to become public and are a waste of money. However if one of my loved ones had been killed as a result of the war, I would be hoping for some explanations and some closure.

During the last gulf war I was a PCO working for Alenia Marconi, the amount of order book for PMG's as well as Radar systems went sky-high... In some respect wars create jobs and stimulate the economy, bet you can't stick that in the Chilcot report...

Also lets face facts, for a while Saddam was an ally of the UK and USA, where do you think he got his weapons systems from? The Chilcot report won't even scratch the surface to look into the real reasons for war going back decades or why Saddam went from being a friend to a foe...
