Do not lose hope
Good Easter Sunday morning Andrew,
first may I thank you and the BBC for keeping these comments open during the Easter festivities. I don't go for these alternative bloggers type, not what I want from this medium at all.
My comment for today is that I there still seems to permeate the philosophy of Downing Street the notorious 'good day to bury bad news'. I am concwerned at the news manipulation and in the above comment we have the proof, the evidence if you like, of the sort of people who pretend to be our political masters/mistresses.
I have checked on the BBC to see when the last deaths of any of our soldiers were in Iraq and Afghanistan, well they were 15th March in Afghanistan and 12th February in Iraq. Now then we know how the PM reads out the names of any of the dead at PMQs, why this started I don't fully understand. But it does initially bring a sombre non confrontational feel to the House.
Now this may be a bit controversial but I do not want any of our brave courageous soldiers to die just so that the PM can divert attention from his failings. I do get the distinct impression that he does not mean what he says. I don't know how either Brown or Blair can actually sleep at night after what they have done.
Blair got us into the war, Brown paid for it, and now leads the country. Also I know from personal experience that any alternative view from the military is not allowed, and I mean allowed because this craven government has used contract law to take out an injunction preventing a former soldier from speaking in public, a basic human right.
In the meantime I hope others notice that there is no news of the inquiry into the war in Iraq, there will be a report to parliament on the 20th April with regard to a Staffordshire hospital, that we have the budget on the 22nd, so what about the four contractors and one IT consultant held in Iraq, news which was released just before the G20 meeting, what is happening, and we are not even to know who these people are, state secret?
Finally look at what is happening to the officers leaving our wonderful army, they are getting involved in private security firms organising the protection racket in Iraq once the army leaves. Dare the PM actually hold a proper national parade through the streets of London, commemorating their return after defeat in Iraq. As for Afghanistan/Pakistan this is another disaster, the old military maxim, do not reinforce defeat. Guess what they must have forgotten that one. A good day to bury bad news. That is this epitaph for this awful government, give us an election, please before we all lose hope.
