Tony Blair will be pleased, handsome profits all round for him. As a Middle East peace envoy he will make money out of the punch up, and even more post punch up as they use his expertise in prevention of conflicts. Just don’t mention Gulf War 2, or WMD, dirty words to our peace loving Tone.

Closure of hospitals has all to do with Labour's PFI of Health Care. Just look at the hospitals opened under Labours PFI, less beds, less staff, more profit for the firms Labour engaged for the PFI. Gordon Brown did it to keep all his debt off the books, part of the £ billions of debt he and Labour tried to hid, even now Blinky Balls tries to deny the debts, but he's been found out.

There they go again, meddling in affairs that has absolutely nothing to do with them, our service personell will never be free of wars as long as the fools in office dictate world policies. They do this because they are puppets for the EU junta, they have no real power in their own country, because the majority of their rules and regs come from the EU junta, to which they jump to. Out side of Britain, it gives them a liitle more power to flex their muscles, we have seen bigger knots on cotton...
