I f**king love this guy. He's not even leader yet and he's single-handedly destroying any credibility the Labour Party might possibly have with the wider electorate in order to curry favour with the sort of placard-wielding cretins who'll vote him in as leader. Genius.

against the war, so for him to apologise for it isn't exasctly radical

Guildford Four, Potato Famine, the burning of the US capitol building in the 1700s!

Mark my words, Jez will be invading Djibouti within 18 months of being elected.

Has to be one we haven't invaded before, j - show some initiative. I reckon we start with a nice easy near to home game in Andorra before going for the two for the price of one Sao Tome and Principe

He's going to give the royal family a good kicking soon, isn't he? :hehe:

It may well be time to treat them to the dry slap.

Or is it the other congo.

Anyway, I only said Djibouti as I like the sound of it.

Shake Djibouti!

taking the whole blame for the Iraq war on to the head of the Labour Party - many of whose members of Parliament who voted for the war may not be too happy about being co-opted into such an apology. He is also in the process alienating the United States; telling anyone whose relatives died in the war that they died in an evil cause; reaffirming in the public mind his association with radical islamic groups and generally belittling this nation in the eyes of other nations and the public at large.

Thus, he will embarrass his party, create yet more internal strife between himself and the PLP, embarrass the country, damage his own credibility by playing up his links with Islamic pressure groups and generally alienating large sections of the public.

And all so that he can secure more votes from the membership and make himself leader.

It is, in short, a political move of such awesome stupidity as to defy belief.

Musical Youth approve

Bolivia might not be a bad shout, though. :rubchin:

I feel like someone's invesnted a new country and not told me

Honestly, Dave and George must be in danger of laughing themselves to death by now.

each other willy-nilly :rolleyes:

Nice easy fixture (no army) revenge for our champions league exit and we can take loads of nice, expensive stuff.

When the Pope calls down armies of Seraphim and cherabim on our asses, you'll regret that.

Central African Republic to make themselves feel better about things.

Low GDP? Low life expectancy? Not as low as the CAR's. High infant mortality? The CAR's got you beat. Think you're the worst place to live on earth? Close, but no cigar.

I used to live next door to an Eritrean family, nice lot but I couldnt get my nut around the food.

When they were describing their country they used the term "It's a bit like Etheopia, just with more war"

they're much more dangerous at home.

so that people would rack up a fortune in debt to study Hospitality Management for 3 years and then find it impossible to get a job, when previously they would have just left school and worked in a hotel or restaurant :sniff:

I mean, given it seems to have solved all sorts of problems in the region maybe you're right after all.

Imagine being battered by Etheopia, that's got to rock your national pride a bit

he is doing something that most in politics don't... admitting something was wrong, not automatically blaming "the other party" and standing up for what he believes in. You might disagree wityh him, you might call it political suicide, but I, for 1 actually admire him for admitting what most in this country believe all along. The war in Iraq was a complete and utter cock up from start to finish, and the British public were lied to.

anti-tank missile launchers. Getting beaten by Chad has to be really f**king embarrassing.

Mind you, Chad is probably the stupidest name for a country ever.

The resulting vacuum from which ISIS have emerged is another consequence that you strangely consider to be decent.

Pleeeease shh.

One of yours, was it? :hehe:

Still, at least for a brief period when we were in charge we changed all that.

Just a bit of playful fun, really.

And if he's really lucky he might get a trip to cuba where he'll be chained up outdoors indefinitely. I mean, he might die but it wont be execution.

Western Democracy, we're great because we're different from the other guys!

He's probably currently wandering around Syria happily raping and murdering as we speak.

of Islamists? Honestly?

I never think that sort of thing washes, I mean I understand the need to pretend for rhetorical purposes but nobody believes it, do they?

rather than under the aegis of these awful people you claim are our moral equivalents clearly believe it, yes. And they're right to.

Though your choice of words ("someone had to do it") proves my point. War as therapy. You don't give a damn about the destruction, killing and mayhem. You just feel better because one bad guy got ousted, but somehow lack the understanding to see that the outcome was even worse.
