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.

Shooting the jet was one thing , but shooting the pilots in their parachutes as they dropped and shooting at the recovery helicopter is the worst to me . I don't see what danger they presented to the rebels .

if they were to be captured by "unfriendlies", then the pilots should actually be glad to be shot (dead)

The government won the Trident debate 330 votes to 64. Corbyn ordered his party to stay away from the Trident debate today. Quite a few spoke in favour of Trident during the debate.

These are the 14 Labour rebels who defied Jeremy Corbyn and voted to keep Trident this evening:

Kevin Barron
Ben Bradshaw
Mary Creagh
Chris Evans
Jim Fitzpatrick
Liz Kendall
Chris Leslie
Madeleine Moon
Albert Owen
Jamie Reed
Emma Reynolds
Angela Smith
Gisela Stuart
John Woodcock

And these are the six who ignored Corbyn’s order to abstain and voted to scrap it:

Roger Godsiff
Ronnie Campbell
Kelvin Hopkins
Graham Stringer
Dennis Skinner
Geoffrey Robinson

Jeremy Corbyn must 'show leadership and stop making inappropriate remarks' says union boss Len McCluskey

The Unite general secretary, who was one of Jeremy Corbyn's most vocal supporters during the Labour leadership election, says he must realise he can no longer 'say what he likes'

Good ol Dennis Skinner, consistant as ever!

We didn't evolve from monkeys. We evolved from apes. Apes and monkeys are different.

I'm not sure how valid that chart above is but it shows that apes evolved from monkeys. Lots of the evolution stuff goes along 'side by side' and not just 'straight down'.

tits

What do you mean by that?

I think I prefer Corbyn thinking about the problems and the sensible actions to take in Syria, than a fool like action man Cameron rushing in Syria with all arms blazing as if he is in the OK coral.

Count the dead with Action Man Dave.

Mind if Dave take haze with him I might change my mind. I don't mind being one Shreddie less.

‘You robots!’ The pro-Trident Labour MP who blew the SNP out of the water





By Michael Deacon, Parliamentary Sketchwriter

6:39PM GMT 24 Nov 2015



Labour MPs were ordered to abstain on this afternoon’s vote on renewing Trident. Supposedly this was because the party is reviewing its Trident policy, although, as the DUP’s Nigel Dodds reminded the Commons, this review is a total charade: given that Jeremy Corbyn has made it clear he would never launch a nuclear missile in any circumstances, Labour members arguing that their party should support Trident are wasting their time.


Well, for as long as he’s in charge, anyway.


So: forget the “review”. The real reason for ordering abstention was to avoid once again highlighting the fact that large numbers of Labour MPs disagree strongly with their leader.


Among them: John Woodcock, MP for Barrow & Furness, who spent his morning hanging a submarine-shaped pro-Trident leaflet on the door knob of every Labour MP’s parliamentary office. Also, Liz Kendall, the defeated Labour leadership candidate, who told the Commons that Trident was “vital”. (“Hear, hear!” cried Tory MPs admiringly. Her standing with the Corbynites will be even higher than ever.)



Tom Watson, deputy leader: “I think the deterrent has kept the peace in the world for half a century and I hope we can have that debate in the party”

Kevan Jones, shadow defence minister: "It would appear that as leader he is acting in the same way he was when he was on the back benches - picking and choosing what he supports"

Hilary Benn, shadow foreign secretary: "I think a British prime minister has to have that option… You have to negotiate them (an enemy) out of existence”

Maria Eagle, shadow defence secretary: “I don't think that a potential prime minister answering a question like that, in the way in which he did, is helpful”

John McDonnell, shadow chancellor: "It’s ultimately a matter of principle about the morality of using nuclear weapons, which would cause such loss of life and destruction the planet" (March 2015)


The debate had been arranged by the Scottish National Party, who – as on absolutely all issues – spoke with one voice. Or, at any rate, 50-odd identical voices.

Trident was no more than a “virility totem”, declared one.

“There is no moral, economic or military case for it,” declared another.

“It is a desperate attempt to cling to the remnants of a fading imperial past,” declared a third, or possibly one of the previous two. (Sorry, it’s so hard to tell.)

Eventually Mr Woodcock – he of the nuclear door-hangers – lost patience with them. “You robots!” he snapped.

The SNP were up in arms. “Can we have clarification,” demanded whichever one of them happened to be standing, “as to whether the charming expression ‘robots’ is parliamentary language?”

Eleanor Laing, the Deputy Speaker, considered the matter. On the whole, she decided, “robots” wasn’t necessarily derogatory – because, after all, some robots were highly advanced.

The SNP seemed unsure whether this was a compliment. Personally, I think they should take it.

“I’m happy to call them Honourable Robots,” suggested Mr Woodcock, magnanimously.

Michael Fallon, the Tory Defence Secretary, ignored the SNP altogether, and focused instead on laying into Labour. Putting Ken Livingstone in joint charge of Labour’s defence review, he boomed, was “like appointing an arsonist as the co-chief fire officer”.

This was of course deeply unfair; Mr Livingstone is no arsonist. Perhaps Mr Fallon was getting him mixed up with Mike Watson – a Labour peer who once served eight months in prison for deliberately setting fire to a hotel curtain. Mr Corbyn recently made him an education spokesman.

In the end, 20 Labour MPs ignored the order to abstain: 14 voting for Trident, six against. Next week, they’ll be ordered to vote against air strikes in Syria. David Cameron will be hoping this mini-rebellion was a warm-up
