Ben Wallace MP

Yes reg I actually played it back as I thought I had misheard him,good on him it was the answer the question deserved.

Of that subject reg I’ve flicked through the channels and on coral tv there’s live greyhound racing from Kilkenny,I never realised both dog racing and shops were taking place /open this early

What was the question?

Typical uncouth Tory.

No it was a Tory sticking up for his country.

Movewiththetimes

Can’t remember exactly how it was worded but it was about the French and Germans having a pop at our military capabilities.

They will not show things from the 60s and 70s these days yet swear words which would not have been allowed back then are quite acceptable now. Talk about hypocrisy!

It was a live interview I should think it caught everyone by surprise anyway as I’ve already said the question got the answer it deserved no country in the world gives help to others like we do in all sorts of ways ,it time the ungrateful arsholes around the world started to appreciate us more.

"German media backed up by MOD sources-NATO has asked Berlin to remain in charge of the leadership rapid reaction force as we are not capable of taking control "

Cheers manoleeds only an hour ago and I forgot the question no good getting old

While the defence secretary denies reports he is considering resigning if he doesn't get more funding at the Budget next month, Ben Wallace warns of a "growing threat" to the UK and says his department needs more cash to continue modernising the British Armed Forces.

Sparrow I often read your posts re our beloved WHU and I respect everyone's right to an opinion of course, BUT, surely your bias against the Tories cannot override a British MP talking straight and defending our country? A breath of fresh air I say in this world where everyone is afraid of upsetting anyone.

Yes chaz a breath of fresh air

The lefty snowflakes don't like it!


Sparrow have completed all your your critical race theory/gender ideology modules this month?

My first post was in response to his use of language which prompted this thread. Neither the OP or myself mentioned anything else to begin with. As for defending our country I would expect all of us to support that objective.

I leave race theories to people such as you DG.

Yes but posting "Typical uncouth Tory" as an initial response epitomises how people let their politics get in the way of sensible discussion. The country would be in an infinitely better place if this were not the case.

Chaz, I did make the point of the use of bad language in public nowadays compared with the 60s and 70s and yet we are no longer allowed to see the programmes from that era. But I admit I do not care for Tories and probably never will so blame it on my East End background and we can both agree on "Come on you Irons"

Conservative governments pose as strong on defence but in reality they've carved our armed forces to ribbons. The army is the smallest it has been for four centuries, and the navy less than half the size it was at the time of the Falklands War. One of our shiny new aircraft carriers has been stuck in dock for repairs since it was launched, which might be a blessing in disguise as we do not have enough planes for more than one carrier, if that.
