On a purely practical level though what role does the nuclear deterrent have? The risk isn't of a nuclear attack it's of terrorism. All that money could be spent more effectively I'm sure.Maybe we should be spending the money on baggage handlers at Glasgae airport.
Hmmmm - Very true!! Just I guess baggage handlers/airport security guards get a much lower salary than people working at Faslane.
I am surprised to be honest but accept your inside knowledge without question. Add green to the rainbow possibly then.
It is a totally blinkered view for sure but I guess they will have calculated the statement through focus groups and the like and determind that it is a popular policy with the masses and then just lie to the workers affected. Yeah, that works, or should I say aye!
Sorry Cruyff, don't get that. Probably me just being thick. I had heard recently about the council being very unpopular though and thought it just might translate to Ms Lucas.
Just the one billion of unfunded spending today from the careful Tories. Given to those with property worth a million.It's good to see we are all in it together.
I would feel still worse had I not known that JWM was lying and he really was going to inherit a million.
Labour are just as bad FFS! You obviously don't or don't want to remember all the New Labour spin! It's part and parcel of politics so stop being so naive and grow up!
So you haven't heard about the new threat posed by North Korea or a resurgent Russia? If you can predict with certainty what threats we face in 20 or 25 years time can you please share them with the rest of us!
We've heard a lot so far from Miliband about how he's going after the Rich with punitive Taxes but I haven't heard yet about any reforms to Welfare and where the cuts will fall or have I missed that part? Will he keep the 26,000 pounds benefits cap in place for example?
You're wasting your breath my friend, my fellow Canaries on here are blinkered lefties who can't see the wood for the trees, I just hope common sense prevails come the GE and a Tory government is returned to power. Otherwise I genuinely fear for the future of our once great nation
All I can tell so far from Labour is that they want to soak the Rich. I haven't heard from them how they're going to get the deficit down. What cuts or further Tax rises do they have in mind. The Tax rises they have defined so far add up to a paltry sum considering the overall size of the deficit. In fact all their TAX rises have already been earmarked on more spending projects that they want to carry out. The worrying thing is that they haven't ruled out increased borrowing or increases to Fuel Duty, Airport Taxes or any other indirect Taxes! Perhaps one of these egg heads can explain the Labour economic policy or indeed if they have one!
A Tory government cannot be returned to power simply because we never had one. The pathetic rich boys Dave and George couldn't even beat Gordon Brown so what chance have they against "Rambo" Ed?..Hell none!
At least JWM has proved he is a typical Tory, he swore blind he'd never post on our board again so he is unable to tell the truth!
