No airshow would be the same without them

I've seen The Red Arrows three times now...they are definitely worth funding. This government wasted billions in Iraq for seemingly a lost cause, yet the Red Arrows, one of the few things Britain should be proud of, gets scrapped? I'd like to see how many attend Farnborough next year without them. Another nail in the coffin for this loony government. I personally think Labour have pressed the self-destruct button knowing full well they don't have a chance in hell to win the next election.

What really worries me is, are they stealing money and lining their pockets hoping they can get the money and run without anyone making a fuss because they "...wont be in power soon, anyway."? The "Cash for Honours" scandal showed us they are a dishonest bunch of bestards...I wouldn't be surprised if they did in fact do this. Hate the scumbag politicians even more now.

Disgraceful. :down:

Last year the red arrows had to abandon using there coloured smoke due to the cost of it. Tony Blair will not save them nor will Gordon Brown they will toss the petition in the bin and if your lucky you may get the stock bland answer.

People power is needed and we must over throw this false democracy and reinstate true democracy back in to this country.

Aye, I'm with you with that one Steed, but we live in a culture of apathy...people would rather let someone else guide their lives instead of forging a path for themselves.

And those fat complacent pigs at Westminster will continual to screw us because too many people in this country can not see that these swine don't give a toss. This country is slowly sinking into the hands of the EU.

PS: I apologise to Oberon for hijacking this thread.

Red Arrows or aN RN frigate,which would you choose?

XabbaRus 02-22-07 04:02 PM

Linton has a point but really the cost of the Red Arrows wouldn't really help.

They need to offload the Tranch 1 Typhoons, get the Tranche 2 up to Tranche 3 standard and order the tranche three. Then build 8 T-45s CVFs look like they will get the go ahead.

Then the F-35. Have the CTOL as a Tornado replacement and the STOVLE for the RN.

Or just keep the RAF whittled down to the Typhoon, all strike and maritime aircraft to the navy and all helos to the Army, except Navy choppers of course.

So what's the answer mate?

Kapitan 02-22-07 04:17 PM

I suggest we go to tony blair and throw eggs but hey likely hood of that 0

So next option hire a assasin

or get enough people together to storm number 10 and oust him out

Or vote him out and put pressure on him to resign.

(personaly the 2nd option looks good to me)

And replace him with who? :hmm:

Easy to criticize, not so easy to come up with workable answers that suit everybody - not just ourselves ;)

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a Blairite and I don't have the answers, I just have to spend all day listening to people bitch/moan/complain about the government, but they never have a credible alternative - unless they're pro-tory, pro-liberal or worse.

Kapitan 02-22-07 04:43 PM

Replace him with some one who has a IQ higher than a dead wet gold fish.

That realy shouldnt be too hard as 99.9% of england has a higher IQ than that.

Boris 02-22-07 05:18 PM

But theres Wales and Cornwall... surely IQs are lower there

There is a way to shake the foundations of Westminster and that is in every council, general or by-election is for this whole country not to vote for the Labour, Conservative and Liberals at all. Vote for someone else and if no other party is standing in your area write on your ballet paper none of the above. We the voter's must show that complacent swine we will not stand for it any longer.

What really gets me, people don't seem to understand that all these MP's work for us not the other way around, people of this country must wake up to this fact and make them work for you, just look and see how much money they are paid another 60% pay rise, come on this is not on.
