Iain, going to a Scottish Tory event this week?

I see Bob Ainsworth has been inspiring our troops again. The Times quotes a conversation with a Bomb Disposal Sergeant. Ainsworth asked him what the soliders 'at the chalkface' really needed.

More troops was the immediate response.And the inspiring answer?

Ainsworth ""We have got to try to get others to do their share," he said.

"You can throw money at this and it still takes time,"

so now our troops know that while the Government is reluctant to 'throw money at it' it is perfectly happy to throw them without proper equipment or resources and that theres no hope of reinforcement unless the French etc agree....and when do you think that will happen.

So we have jumped in with both feet, have no plan and little or no political support from other allies within NATO (aside from the US). Typical Nu Labour muddle.

PS Bob ...they aren't teachers and don't 'work' at a chalk face' Its a trifle more violent than that

No, but only because I haven't been invited to one.

Don't you ever sleep Iain?

There must be three or four appointments you could fit in between 9.30 and 3?

When did you develop expertise on criminal rehab, Iain? I do hope you weren't simply spouting opinions without having investigated their basis in empirical evidence. Unthinkable from a Tory, surely?
