    Really? Explain then, in detail.

    I was told lately that youth unemployment in the uk is at its highest ever.

    That plus the recession and the conservative government would seem like the uk might be looking for a war. Of course they are probably not the only ones. History truly teaches us nothing and the puppet masters just keep pulling the strings..



    Ps They'd never chance invading us again would they? We might be looking attractive again what with all that gas under Leitrim.........

    Btw harsh times is a cracker of a film.

    Sizing up Iran, I think.

    Only this time I think electorates have moved on from flag waving enthusiasm for war.

    And if oil prices go any higher as a result of a strike on Iran by US or UK, electorates will get very angry.

    You never know, Ron Paul's blend of low taxes & keeping US out of foreign wars may catch on.

    Besides, UK is now too multicultural to get excited about fighting johnny foreigner any more.

    Look at the news, educate yourself, you guys believe in blind obedience to the royals, cop on, kids are coming back from these wars in body bags, maimed for life, and mentally fu#ked. For what, there is a large collection of spongers in the royal family, how many have gone to war, none. For publicity, they send out Willie Wonka and young Hewitt, to show clowns like you, are not on your own.
    Get a grip you moran. How many spongers in the royals have lost their lives in action. Don't mention old Monty, with his plimsoles hanging out of the tree in Sligo.

    I know of absolutley NO-ONE who believes in "blind obedience to the royals". Like so much else in your posts, it exists only in your mind.

    cop on, kids are coming back from these wars in body bags, maimed for life, and mentally fu#ked.
    The UK does not send "kids" to war, your concern for them is as phoney as it is uninformed and it has NOTHING to do with my question to you, has it?

    For what, there is a large collection of spongers in the royal family, how many have gone to war, none.
    Christ, you really are THICK! George VI and Mountbatten served as Midshipmen at the Battle of Jutland and the Prince of Wales served as a staff officer in France, the Queen Mother's (RIP) brother was killed serving with the Black Watch in Flanders, Mountbatten of course served initially on Destroyers from the start of WW2 and then Duke of Gloucester was killed in a flying accident whilst serving as an office in Coastal Command. More recently Prince Andrew served as a Helicopter pilot on Sea Kings during the Falklands War. Is that enough to be going on with?

    For publicity, they send out Willie Wonka and young Hewitt, to show clowns like you, are not on your own.
    An idiotic comment, but then again, it is YOU after all.

    I think I've addressed these "points" sufficiently for now. Now, after all the bombast and bluster, back to the uncomfortable subject, for you that is, of your last post.

    So, in other words you can't answer my question can you? You have no proof or even evidence that Harry was treated in any way differently than any other officer doing that job. Well we shouldn't be surprised, you're a blatant and unashamed windbag with absolutely nothing of interest to say about anything and this is no exception. Frankly I'm annoyed I ever gave you the time of day, I really should have known better from your previous mewlings. Now, why don't you hook-up on-line with those other two stellar intellects Hedzog and Lain, for a good old game of Battleships, hopefully it won't tax those balls of lard between your respective ears.

    Oh, and by the way, it's "morOn" not "morAn", make a note of that in case you need it for your CV.

    I was talking about the present, the latest you can come up with is Andy the wallet flying a copter. Jaysus Sarge cop on, this is 2012.
    At my age, I regard kids are kids till they get into their twenties and have started to live life, seemingly your version of kids is anything over 18 that can be used for cannon fodder, is ok.
    You got me on the Moron bit, big deal.

    There is a film on just now, about pow's in a jap camp, one of the brits says "these guys do not respect the Geneva convention".
    Did the brits ever respect that.
    Going by the latest news coverage, rape. child abuse. and murder, are they covered by the Geneva convention,
    Not according to the brit army.

    How many "wars" have the Brits been in since then, and which members of the Royal family, in your opinion, dodged them? As for "Andy the wallet (Oh you wag) flying a copter"!!! Is there really no depth to your utter f*cking ignorance?

    At my age, I regard kids are kids till they get into their twenties and have started to live life, seemingly your version of kids is anything over 18 that can be used for cannon fodder, is ok.
    No, I just don't use emotive language when I'm dealing with fact, and this is nothing to do with your dubious sincerity about "cannon fodder" anyway.

    You got me on the Moron bit, big deal.
    As they say, "the truth will out".

    If you had an ounce of humility or self-knowledge you'd have crawled under a rock in embarassment by now, your continued avoidance of the question I put to you says it all. Please go away, you have NOTHING of value or interest to contribute to this thread, nor I suspect, any other.

    Uh Harry was a JTAC at a PB....if he strolled out the front gate he could have shaken hands with the local Terry's...I'm, not sure how much more frontline he could get?
    C'est la vie... adiós... good riddance... fu:ck you! :
