SHOW SOME RESPECT FOR OUR BOYS!

RAF HELICOPTER WAS MADE FROM 2 OLD CHINOOKS......

"BOLTED TOGETHER"

THE Ministry of Defence admitted last night that an RAF Chinook helicopter flown in Afghanistan has been cobbled together from the front and back of two old aircraft.

Officials earlier denied the hybrid had been operational in the Middle East.

The aircraft was made up from two others – one which crashed in 1999 and one taken from the Argentinians during the Falklands war. The two parts were fused together – a “cut and shut” technique often used illegally by dodgy car dealers – and the aircraft went back into service in 2003.

The MoD statement followed an embarrassing disclosure by former Defence Secretary John Hutton in a letter to Ian Sadler, whose 21-year-old son Jack was killed in Afghanistan in December 2007. Mr Sadler, of Exmouth, Devon, said he was told about the hybrid helicopter by a soldier who claims he had been inside it in Afghanistan within the last year and that it had two different identification numbers.

The MoD would not confirm its whereabouts. But last night a spokesperson said: “We argue it’s a good use of resources.”

LABOUR COWARDS AND TURNCOATS

Under threat: Gary McKinnon, pictured with mother Janis, has been abandoned

by many Labour MPs who abstained or voted with the Government

Once again, (it's every day, now), that two-faced cowardly, sneaky little shit that is jolly Alan Johnson, everyone's friendly Home Secretary who smiles jovially while inserting a knife in your back, has shown his true, spineless NuLieBore colours by refusing to intervene in the Gary McKinnon extradition proceedings. Postman Prat is plodding along toeing the Government's line at every turn proving to the public, at least, that he is not fit for leadership purpose, or much else, for that matter! This has now and for the last seven years got completely out of hand because some embarrassed bastard paid obscene amounts of money for a security system that Gary hacked as if it were a piece of crap!! Instead of looking for revenge, they should be offering him a job - God knows they need him!

Just 28 more Labour 'rebels', (I think they must go around crushing grapes or swatting insects when they're feeling rebellious), would have defeated the Government today - 28!

74 Labour MPs who had previously signed Commons motions backing Mr McKinnon or demanding a review of extradition agreements with the U.S. failed to go against the party line. Fifty-nine voted with the Government and 15 abstained.

I am posting this roll call of shame from the Daily Mail because it needs to be posted for all to see, so please feel free to repost this on your own blogs.

FULL STORY IN THE DAILY MAIL

CLIMATE CHANGE CON EXPOSED

Anthropogenic Global Warming Is A Dangerous, Ruinously Expensive Fiction

Hooray! A voice of reason. Someone unafraid to take on the AGW con, head-on.

Ian Plimer, Professor of Mining Geology at AdelaideUniversity, in his book Heaven and Earth, says:

"The hypothesis that human activity can create global warming is extraordinary because it is contrary to validated knowledge from solar physics, astronomy, history, archaeology and geology."

"I’m a geologist. We geologists have always recognised that climate changes over time. Where we differ from a lot of people pushing AGW is in our understanding of scale. They’re only interested in the last 150 years. Our time frame is 4,567 million years. So what they’re doing is the equivalent of trying to extrapolate the plot of Casablanca from one tiny bit of the love scene. And you can’t. It doesn’t work."

"I’m a natural scientist. I’m out there every day, buried up to my neck in sh**, collecting raw data. And that’s why I’m so sceptical of these models, which have nothing to do with science or empiricism but are about torturing the data till it finally confesses. None of them predicted this current period we’re in of global cooling. There is no problem with global warming. It stopped in 1998. The last two years of global cooling have erased nearly 30 years of temperature increase."
