Our Armed Forces Minister Bill Rammell claims that the British may become “so risk-averse, cynical and introverted that we will find ourselves in inglorious and impotent isolation by default� just because the majority of the public can see that our politicians are lying, greedy, self-serving crooks who have sent our troops poorly-equipped into a poinltess and unwinnable war where�they are being killed by ordinary Afghanis who�see us as foreign invaders.
Mr. Rammell will probably die a rich man�of old age in his bed, unlike the brave soldiers being sent to pointless deaths by politicians who “frankly don’t give a damn”. After all, fighting to preserve a thoroughly corrupt expenses system is much more important to our elected leaders than the loss of a few hundred lives in a hopeless war.
