Must have been some time ago. Conscription ended in 1996.

At least wedidn't blindly follow america in its attack on non existing weapons of mass destruction of saddam. It is that slave like obedience to america that prompted the distrust of france's president De Gaulle and deny you twice the entry in the EEC.
Lately Hunt announced that he would attack iran if trump so ordered......

It can only get better for those people .

What does it matter to you, and why are you so obsessed ?? Maybe it's your hobby...
Does seem a bit strange, this excessive interest.

Re: Oh Yes

Holland are right to be scared rigid.

Fishing, their ports and their exports of flowers are under serious question because of Brexit.

Rutte has done his country no favours because of his behaviour and the way the UK has been treated. The same goes for Varadkar, Merkel, Macron and the rest of them.

Here comes Boris !

It is, Cinderella. An even more confusing point is the fact that Solasch is constantly warning us why we should not be leaving the Union , but continuously wish doom and gloom on us.. Is it love or is it hate ?

Makes one wonder what's going on, but it seems that whenever a new leader of a country emerges, those leaders appear to have to show their strength by getting involved in others battles.
I think Hunt would be one of those, not sure about Boris..
All politicians want their moment in history, winning a war is right up there. Maggie T had that moment, Winnie C had his...somehow I don’t see a Boris moment engraved in the history of this country, just another lack lustre career politician wanting his moment in the trough.

'WE' didn't it was Tony Blair. The people protested and shouted as hard as they could against .. but nobody listened !!

This time they heard what the people said in a referendum ..and can't deny it !

Tony Blair is still in the mix. So neither he nor his ideas and schemes are welcome.

Yes, I believe Hunt will follow the leader to battle in Iran, which is pretty ironic, considering he's proud of being Minister for the Disabled, and Health Secretary for the last number of years.
Maybe on the global stage he doesn't think that children of war torn countries suffer disabilities and mental health illness like we do. He could be right on that, they suffer in ways we don't even know about.

Better get your ball skills up to scratch then. You'll have plenty of catching to do in Aberdeen.

We have training for everything in UK through the NHS !
