MOD launches reality TV show.
(RG) Well the Easter weekend s is over and the MOD have once again made themselves look like the bunch of tossers that they are. Firstly it is not the fault of the sailors that the whole sad episode in Iran looks like a pilot for a new BBC soap, it’s the fault of the usual suspects the Labour socialists that infest every orifice of public office in the UK. When I was a serving soldier we still had (puttees) around our ankles tin helmets from WW1 and boots made from compressed cardboard, but we couldn’t go running to Fleet street after every round we fired at an Argy jet. Here is one theory I detected here in the UK an outbreak of pride in our Armed forces when Dinner Jacket seized our boys and girls, people were even calling for us to fucking nuke Iran, jingoism was creeping back in to British society, it was the 25th anniversary of the Falklands, some of us were muttering things like “This would not have happened under Margaret Thatcher” The red vermin who run the Socialist Republic Of Britain were appalled and needed and underhand way of fighting back. The MOD gave them a perfect opportunity with the Iran Farcis. They got or boys and girls back probably with some behind the scenes bribes to Tehran and then amazingly set a precedent by allowing them to Kiss & Tell. Immediately there is a public backlash especially after the same weekend we lost four servicemen in Iraq two of them being woman. The mood in the country has now readjusted back to how the socialists want, a lot less sympathy for our Forces when it is the Government who engineered the whole thing. Wait till the next crisis, I wouldn’t want to be a UK hostage then. The British Government should have got our troops back and kept there gobs firmly shut, all they have done is enrage large swathes of the British public and Iran in the process. I have posted the vid above of UK servicemen larking around and letting of steam, they need to do this from time to time to release some pressure from the arduous job they are doing in Iraq and Afghanistan and before you ask No its not a new Simon Cowell show where British troops have entertain us at home while they dodge bullets and RPGs while we vote for our favourite act, then again you never know with this lot in charge… watch this space. Hat tip to Taxi Tales for the vid.

Interesting to see a British perspective on this drama. And the video is fabulous: nothing sweeter than seeing soldiers having fun!
