If you look at the spending in those years money was lavished on pet projects and Departments.<br /><br />Defence had three problems<br /><br />1 it was expensive<br />2 it wasn't a fashionable left wing cause that would attract favour within Labour<br />3 it had a succession of Secretary of States who were Blairite and therefore had to have their life made difficult<br /><br />Gordon has a social conscience. If I had that that much on my conscience - all those lies and troops who died because they were sent to war unprepared and unequipped and the reasons for that- then it would keep me up at night too.Cynichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04852867933348403214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-4366264211060927352010-03-18T07:28:43.066+00:002010-03-18T07:28:43.066+00:00Jimmy

...Jimmy<br /><br />A true apology means actually apologising<br /><br />Gordon seems to be happy to apologise on behalf of the nation for past incidents for which he is in no way responsible<br /><br />However he seems curiously incapable of apologising for anything he has got wrong in the past 13 years<br /><br />Funny old thing<br /><br />BTW the important thing is that this is clear evidence of the defence underfunding that the Labour govt has continued with while basking in the reflected glory of our armed forces<br /><br />They have no honour, they have no shame, they must goJannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11848284897192043240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-79007474731892933642010-03-18T06:42:29.959+00:002010-03-18T06:42:29.959+00:00I must admit I was somewhat surprised when you int...I must admit I was somewhat surprised when you intimated it was the NOTW wot won it and my first thought was that you'd been nobbled by a spinner. Good that you've corrected it.<br /><br />Cathy indeed should be credited for some seriously good journalism. She makes me proud of an often maligned profession. <br /><br />I still don't think the implications of what she unearthed and the consequences has really sunk in. This is a prime minister who has misled parliament, Chilcot and the public. That's kinda big.<br /><br />I gave here full credit when I posted up the story yesterday afternoon. Guido too but few others. Still that's hacks for you. <br /><br />http://theorangepartyblog.blogspot.com/2010/03/porkie-brown-admits-lying-to-chilcot.htmlthe orange partyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08550469255117014370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-86534939504825561452010-03-18T04:54:03.285+00:002010-03-18T04:54:03.285+00:00@ pete-s

He lies even when he is confessing to lying.<br /><br />The man has no conscience, he will do ANYTHING to stay in power. I have noticed for the past few months the enormous amount of state adverts. It must be costing 10's of millions. This is also just beginning to get a mention in the blogs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
