Thanks for the card Patrick. It turned up today, how appropriate!
MP vote against holding an inquiry into the Iraq War.
Foreign Secretary Margaret Beckett warned it was "not the time", as an inquiry could undermine troops' morale... Mrs Beckett warned that agreeing to either inquiry now would send the wrong signal "at the wrong time" to Iraq.
Because heaven knows the one thing that stops the British troops from despairing at the fact they are being killed every day is the fact that at least the Labour party supports them being there if no-one else does.
Meanwhile, in another faraway land, Michelle Malkin is doing her bit to try and prevent people from realising that the Republican Party is fucked by engineering a controversy over John Kerry.
She reports Kerry as saying: "You know, education, if you make the most of it, if you study hard and you do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, uh, you, you can do well. If you don’t, you get stuck in Iraq."
Now, that doesn't look to me as though he's saying the troops are stupid, more the current inhabitant of the White House. Of course, that doesn't stop a large number of people who are stupid and, co-incidentally Republican, bay and scream for John Kerry to apologise for insulting the troops. So, it seems that no-one has a problem with Shrubya being called dumb, not even those that would claim to support him.
It gets really funny when Malkin moves on to complaining about why isn't the media reporting something that wasn't said?
But most importantly, this week is British Sausage Week. Woot!
