BRITAIN AND THE USA CANNOT WAIT TO SEND THE MILITARY INTO LIBYA

No one can really deny that Gadafi is fairly obviously off his trolly. "my people love me" he told the BBC on TV. I heard him say it. I also heard him raving on about how the people in the streets were not protesting against him and any that were did so because Al Kaida (sic) had paid them to riot and had even supplied people psychedelic drugs. Somehow i dont think this is true.
Having said this i also heard people in the streets saying that not only did they want to rid themselves of Gadafi and his regime but that they wanted to do this themselves and did not want the West to intervene. A brief look at the mess the west made in Iraq and are currently making in Afghanistan, this should not surprise us. Ghandi once said "its the right of India to misrule itself as it sees fit" and this applies to most other sovereign nations.
Another good reason for not getting involved is that we really dont have the militarly hardware or manpower to get involved in yet another ill advise expedition into oblivion and shame. We have more than enough of such conflicts over the last twenty years and for all these reasons we should keep our big noses out of it. If people need aid or protection then fine but it must be genuinely requested and not made up by stupid lying dickheads like Tony Blair or the Bush Baby. and especially we should avoid the gutter press and the warmongering scum that live there like the Dirty Digger and the Red Top press who will say anything at the behest of their puppet masters to foment widespread violence as an excuse for foolish intervention with inadeuate forces.

BIG SOCIETY OR LITTLE ISLAND ?

It seems sad to me that we now have to destroy our air force by now sacking hundreds of pilots which cost more than a £1M each just to train. Of course we wont be sacking any pilots who might be required for their work in Afghanistan which for some reason must continue at all costs. Surely it must be time to get out of Afghanistan. Its just another unwinnable war which costs billions to persue yet at the same time we leave ourselves open to lots of attacks and danger elsewhere. So the future looks like a 3rd or 4th rate country on a tiny, defenceless, overcrowded island with no friends and no role in the world. Well done coilition government.
Now we have three Tory parties for the price of one do we. All of them determined it seeems to close down the country and hit out at soft targets such as the disabled and unemployed, all of them bullied and frightened into going after jobs they cannot really perform at a time when there are ever fewer jobs.
