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

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.
