Liebour gets another tongue-lashing from Joanna Lumley
 
Nasty, back-stabbing 'Veterans Minister' Kevan Jones has told a committee of MPs that Gurkhas are being misled about their settlement rights and that Lumley had a 'responsibility' to explain.

In response, she issued a statement:

Quote:

Ms Lumley said her team agreed last year to work with the government, but not speak to the press while the settlement policy for former Gurkhas was being decided. "Assurances were made that the campaigners would not speak out in public, but would help the government by working in the background," said the statement.
"Recent personal attacks on Joanna ...made in the press and by a minister under the protection of parliamentary privilege have left no option but to response through the press to set the record straight."

Just goes to show, a leopard really can't change its spots. Nothing but spin, spin, backstabbing and spin.

Shows just how much you can trust the MoD when it comes to veterans rights...and I'm sure I'll be saying the same thing when t'others get into power.;)

Maybe, but personally I like to see them all up there with their own thread title. It's far more entertaining that way. :D

True and we wouldn't want threads to become too long and cumbersome would we.... :D

Not being funny but who do you think is taking notice of all these anti-labour rants that you and others continually post, do you honestly think that anybody will change their voting preferences because of what you and the blue rinse brigade spout :hyper:. I dont see a point to them other than than a slap on the backs from all your chums.

You're right, you're not being funny. And if you don't see the point, feel free to move on. ;)

For every headline a political party makes while blowing its own trumpet, a thread like this is required if for nothing else to bring them back down to earth with a bump.

Although I agree with the sentiment of the topic, Labour being especially sick and nasty, this isn't the approach taken when Flyboy posts Tory topics.

With the greatest of respect to Flyboy, I really wasn't thinking of him when I posted this topic.

Foreverdribble who i vote for is my business but since 1912 i have voted for the Mincepie and Onion party , whatever you believe i cannot vote for Brown i get the impression he is a fish out of water for the job. But all i see in the blue brigade is a steaming heap of rich people who i wouldn,t trust with a scotch egg in a paddling pool full of banana puree.

Bless - it's really good how you manage all those words, and most of them spelt correctly; surely you must be grateful to the Tories for Care in the Community, otherwise you wouldn't be able to access the internet?

Sadly I feel a great many of us are on the verge of moving on permamently, the raft of pointless political threads and point scoring is to dull for words it's getting so you can't even look in the most innocent of looking threads without getting accosted by it.

Frightening to some, wonder if any members will be squirreling that image away for "private use" later :shocked:

Problem that veterans have is that they are veterans ie have served their purpose and are no longer usefull to the government so why should they give a rats about their rights. No surprise in this the only reason labour every u turned was the bad press they were getting and once they figured it had died down and gone away they were always going to carry on as before.
