I suppose, it’s the old there’s no magic money tree until there is for big defence contractors, the bloke that drinks in the same pub as Matt Hancock and other heavyweights of industry.

Certainly is, Priti Patel got £1000 per hour of one company, sure she was worth every penny though and nothing untoward was going on at all at anytime

It aint mine, I never wanted it, didn't design it or help build it. Waste of money and resources, same as HS2, a hill in London, and covid passports if you're looking for my opinion.

There will probably be something else along next week for people to get upset about, no figs given here, seen it all before, water ducks back etc ;)

In the days before the US-led invasion of Afghanistan in 2001, a group of British defence and security officials took a top-secret trip to Moscow.

The plan was to ask their Russian counterparts for advice on operating in the country given the former Soviet Union's doomed Afghan intervention that ended in defeat in 1989.

The response was brutally prophetic.

One person who was at the meeting recalled: "When the Russians stopped laughing they told us: 'You will make the same bad choice we did, you will go in, you will lose, many of you will die and then you'll be forced to retreat, which will be good for us. How can we help?'"

Oh sorry, I presumed you were asking my thoughts on the boat costing £200m, which I then gave.

If however, you were asking me about using that boat to rescue the refugees, I'd have to say it would be pretty amazing because, even though it cost an enormous amount of money, I doubt it could land & take off from Kabul airport :D

Ah being deliberately obtuse to avoid answering the question posed. You’re quite good at that……

Would you have an issue with the money being used on the new 'British Flagship' which if i remember correctly is approx circa. £200m being used to support Afghan refugees coming to the country?

I think we got to be very careful with who gets let in as it will be an easy route for Al-Qaeda. And let's be honest it will only be a matter of time before terrorist incident rise I believe

Stupid bloody question considering (he probably thinks I'm a Royalist or something) . . . but I'll play the silly game.

I'd have an issue with 30 pence being used, I'd also have an issue with them jumping the housing queue, etc etc.

:p:

Why us Brits calling him Sleepy Joe, a term used by Trump supporters?

It’s inevitable.

Why should our civilians be exempted from suffering and pain given what we’ve put their country through.

You really do just get lower and lower. :td:

I've not put anyone through anything, what suffering have you been causing ?
