Military Active Service

I wish everyone a very Happy New Year.

Now a band waggon to jump on, British Soldiers likely to be charged over their actions in the war in Iraq, just what do these witch hunters hope to gain over any events so long ago.
!3 Years ago it seems, just why are people so interested in what our troops might or might not have done, in the heat of battle things happen, you have to remember the enemy are not wearing a uniform as you have to, they are not subject to the rules of conflict as our soldiers do, day after day month after month never knowing if you will live or die, you are fully aware of the consequence's  if you should be taken prisoner, if you should survive you can't claim against the enemy because no one knows who they are,
It was on the news tonight that the cost of this money spinner for the legal profession is £57 Million, just where does this money come from??, it cant be in the budget so where  and whose budget is it.
What is the point of joining up??, one thing for sure if you should break a rule you are finished, why should that be, past wars have seen Prisoners of War have not been taken one because you might not have enough rations for them nor the soldiers to guard them, World War One soldiers were ordered NOT to take prisoners, both sides followed that policy, so what is so different now???. 

Europe

I have just spent some time in hospital, again it left a lot to be desired, even though very ill I have still been watching the carry on in the world and of course Europe, David Cameron I believe has fat chance of getting a reformed Europe is I believe
pie in the sky.
Non of the eastern European countries are going to agree to the proposed cut in benefits for four years employment in the UK, the wages in these countries are so low that any benefit they can gain here out strips anything they might get in their own country, how is it that people living in this country can claim child benefit even though the child/children do not live in this country, many who have come here have no intention of working, they are just milking the system which is a disgrace, but why do we accept this, why is it that some in the UK go on and on about the benefit migrants  are to this country, these are people who are using migrant workers to do all the farming ground work and many employers offering work at less than the minimum wage in factories, being often also given accommodation as part of the deal that is so costly to the worker they are often working many hours for next to nothing, the more I  look at membership of the EU the more I am likely to vote to get the hell out of it.    

 

Russia

Russia seems to just go on and on, they seem to just need desperately beat everyone else in competition and then move on from one stupid thing to another, politically and military it is to be believed cheats in athletics, it always was a bit obvious that some of the athletic team members  were performing better than expected, it is really sick that the Russian athletes were blatantly taking enhancing drugs, so that other countries athletes lost events to these cheating people, but looking at this realistically are we saying that the Russians are the only country to be involved in drug taking in all sorts of sport i.e. The Olympic Games, Commonwealth Games, the World Championships, the European Championships, to name just a few, not thinking about football?? where there is money sloshing about in disgusting amounts, if there is an opportunity for financial  benefit it is not surprising   that some take drugs. I find it difficult to accept that athletes caught using drugs can be allowed to carry on in the sport, reality says that if you are caught you take the consequences of  your actions, it has to be if caught you are finished in sport world wide, no second chances out is the word, that then helps the athletes who are clean compete in a truly clean event, but of course the little man in charges in Russia will blame the world, how dare we accuse Russia of doing this!!, will the world do anything to sort this out, to be honest I believe there is not a hope in hell!!!!!!. 

Egypt

I see that they have the black boxes from the aeroplane crash in Egypt, they say that all was going well and all OK then an explosion, now could it possibly be that the plane decided to blow up for no apparent reason? or could there have been a bomb on board, to me the bomb has to be the most obvious reason IS are admitting that they did it, I know that they often try to take the responsibility for all kinds of terrorism, but for once I believe that this just might be the truth, My reasons for this conclusion is based on the fact that Russia has been bombing and  bragging about the bombing sorties that they have carried out against IS, so what would you expect of IS?, they are not bothered about Russia and any retribution  that might come their way, they have kicked Russia in the teeth and possibly inadvertently  destroyed the holiday plans of many Europeans, the UK being one, security at airports in the world will when they see a bomb has been planted will boost security but as time goes by they slip back into their old ways, this sort of attacks will only get the security that is needed after the event, as always shutting the door when the horse has bolted!!!!!.

Cyprus

So will someone tell me who is a refugee or who is not?, are all these people who have arrived at RAF Akrotiri?, they want refugee status but not in Cyprus, that shows me that these people are not in fact refugees but migrants, I have seen the response to the RAF who unlucky for them have had this problem dumped on them, the human rights law says that you have to apply for asylum in the first country you come to, so these people have to register in Cyprus, because of this they are up in arms because they are not getting exactly what they want, they seem to think that we in the west should provide housing, medical aid, education, ands of course free money, they would have had money in their pockets if they had not been stupid enough to pay the people trafficas in Turkey.

It is also very noticeable that the majority travelling are men, mainly young to middle age, there seems to be a marked absence of females, why is that ??, they are arriving with a massive chip on their shoulders, with unrealistic expectations of what to expect in the West, they seem to think that they will be allocated housing , free medical treatment, and free education for the few children that have been brought with them, no matter what the do gooders say or do this can't and is impossible to do, if you should  think me wrong ask yourself, where the housing is in this country for a start, just remember that wounded soldiers have returned to this country and really have been deserted by us, I was gob smacked that the BBC  big build had to get involved to help these hero's that we all seem to have forgotten about, lets for once be realistic, we are cutting back on everything, so we do not have the finances to cope with a large influx of people, tax credits are being cut because of budgetary restrictions or so we are told, so we just have to keep out of  this major problem we can't do anything about it let the big wigs in Europe deal with the problem, the Middle East has cost us an arm and a leg already,  let them spend some money instead of looking towards  us  every time there is an incident in the world. 



 

Middle East

Here we go again, a civil airliner crashes is an area where war is active, now no one knows why it came down into a desert but questions have to be asked, could it have been brought down by terrorist forces in the area??, who knows at the moment but aircraft do not fall out of the sky unless something pretty serious has happened, and to make things even worse its a Russian plane, just what will they make of this, just what level of spin will they employ to attack the West, you can be sure it is our fault whatever happened, we will only find out what might have happened  when we are fed the story from the Russian authorities, the one thing you can be sure of is that we will only be told what Russia wants us to know no more than that, all airline have to stop flying over war torn countries you just never know what might happen with the idiots on the ground  who have no idea as to decency or the consequences of their actions, from now on it would be criminal to fly over these countries I just hope that air lines take note!!!!.

China

What was the Chinese president doing in this country?, other than allegedly spending £3 billion, no  reason other than trying to get his and his country's  status in the world upgraded, for me it failed miserably, I saw all the supporters in their red t shirts but wait a moment the press found a big box of these t shirts that had been brought in by diplomatic bag, now if we tried such  thing in China just think of the stink that it would cause, He said China was like the UK but we all know that is not true at all, the population walk the land with no human rights, life is not worth a penny, you can be denounced be declared Guilty and summarily executed, no appeal in fact no defence at all, piled on a lorry with many more to a deserted spot to be shot, often your family have no idea as to what has happened to you, women who were pregnant for a second time were told to attend a clinic to have an abortion if you did not attend you were dragged to the clinic and forced to have the abortion, then we have the fact that they want to build a Nuclear Power station for EDF and the government, why would  they do this?, because the government will be paying twice the going rate for  the energy produced, and just guess who will pay in the end?????, So are we really like China no not at all, we are civilised allow freedom of speech and movement not so in China, personally I want nothing to do with them, they should go away and start  to think that a dictatorship is not acceptable, that is, if you want to be associated with the UK, otherwise go away and do not insult us!!!!!.
