Blog post of the Day...
Would you send used Land Rovers into this? A great article on the use of the dangerous and flimsy 'snatch landrovers' by the MoD.

Zimbabwean Drums.....
The drums are calling you old man, and grow louder by the day.
They are calling you to judgment it's now your time to pay,
For the wrongs you've done Zimbabwe , the trust which you betrayed.
So hear those drums a pounding, hear well, and be afraid!
The drums are calling you old man, and grow louder by the day.
For The cries of those you murdered grow stronger every day,
In a land we called Rhodesia , Twas truly God's own land,
You trashed it with your gluttony and evil thieving hand.
The drums are calling you old man, and grow louder by the day,
You starved your kinfolk of their food; the meek, your favored prey,
With all your years of tyranny and lavish trips abroad
Their proud heritage you squandered, through patronage and fraud.
The drums are calling you old man, and grow louder by the day;
Twas not the world that brought you down, but Christians who could pray.
God heard the prayers of His saints to stop you in your pride,
The gates of hell, I believe, are broad and high and wide
The drums are calling you old man, and grow louder by the day,
The drums have sound their verdict; listen to what they say,
They foretell of your demise, and they have much to tell.
So hear the drums, old man, and listen to them well.
The drums are calling you old man, and grow louder by the day
Your 'war vets' will now leave you, to flee another way
Now listen to those drums old man their message is not vague
They are pounding out across the world "We'll see you in the Hague !!"
By Alf Hutchison inspired by an unnamed e mail workers day 2008
TO THE MEMORY OF ALL RHODESIANS WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES
WE WILL REMEMBER THEM

Great idea....
This was written by a construction worker in Fort McMurray. Read on . . .
'I work, they pay me. I pay my taxes, and the government distributes my taxes as it sees fit. In order to earn that pay check, I work on a rig site for a Fort McMurray construction project. At any time I am required to pass a random urine test, with which I have no problem. HOWEVER, what I do have a problem with is the distribution of my taxes to people who don't have to pass a urine test. Shouldn't one have to pass a urine test to get a welfare check because I have to pass one to earn it for them?
Understand - I have no problem with helping people get back on their feet. I do on the other hand have a problem with helping someone sit on their fanny, drinking beer and smoking dope. Could you imagine how much money this country would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance check? '

Border Agency's £140,000 beano (on the day it was revealed that 300,000 foreigners are wrongly let into the UK). Time for some heads to roll. Start with our joke of a Home Secretary.
As brigands hold the Sirius Star supertanker to ransom, we go inside the Somali pirates' lair. Time to bring back 'Q' ships.
Man down! How Gurkhas braved a hail of Taliban bullets to try to save Rifleman Yub. The bravest troops in the world. Great video.

Islamic fighters enter Somalia pirate town and plan to attack. Hopefully they will wipe each other out.
Fewer than one in three of Britain's Apache attack helicopters 'fit for purpose'. That's what happens when you try and fight a war 'on the cheap'.

Soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan to get life saving anti-sniper device. About time too.
Two hundred public sector workers earn more than PM. And not a single one is worth it.
