Priti Patel
First Robert Jenerick...
Priti Patel lobbied for a relaxation of lottery rules that would have benefited a Conservative donor after they met privately.

Sacked by May for trying to do her own deals with Israel. Nothing would surprise me about any of the current cabinet.

All my adult life I’ve been a labour voter... until someone decided that it was a good idea to let Lenin take over the party.... incompetently assisted by a woman who can barely speak her own name coherently.

There may be a few like that on the opposition benches but I've actually been in the House of Commons on several occasions and met quite a few Labour MPs. Most are hard working and have the interests of their constituents at heart. Peter Pike was one of the best and got me and some work collegues seats in the Sergeant at Arms private box on the day Neil Kinnock basically called Margaret Thatcher a liar over the Belgrano sinking. She went puple. It was absolutely brilliant.

At the time he was a qualified guide for the Palace of Westminster and gave four of us a personal tour of both the Lords and Commons. A wonderful day all round.

Criticizing the sinking of an aggressor's warship which was out to kill our soldiers.
This is why Burnley voted Conservative.

Re: Priti Patel
I actually agreed with the sinking. That wasn't the point I was making. The Belgrano was apparrently sailing out of the exclusion zone, but of course, it could have turned round again. That said, 'Conqueror' the sub that sank her, could have waited a bit longer instead of killing some 3,000 Argentinians who all had families at home. Maggie, being Maggi, didn't care about that though and ordered her to be sunk.

Re: Priti Patel
Conqueror could absolutely NOT have waited, once the order was given.
We were on a war footing. Decisions are made, orders are issued and every cog in the machine does its bit to achieve the ultimate aim. Soldiers, sailors and airmen are there to do the business. They are NOT there to make their own minds up and do their own thing.
Mendes must answer for the 3000 souls lost...

We got very lucky that bad weather prevented the Argentines launching from their aircraft carrier when the British fleet were highly vulnerable to attack.
It was the sinking of the Belgrano that forced their carrier back into port. Without that statement of intent it is highly likely many more young British men would have lost their lives in service.
If anyone wants to criticize the sinking of the Belgrano then they ought to do so in this context rather than a cheap point scoring exercise of regaling us as to what colour Margaret Thatcher may have turned when she was criticized for defending our interests and putting our lives soldiers first.

But to say 3000 were killed on the Belgrano is a tad over the top GD.....
As there were a total of 649 enemy fatalities to our 255 in that sorry conflict.

Another of Britain's secret wars. We were seconded into the Sultan's army so that Britain could say that had no troops there. I think I know a bit about war and conflict.

Life is hard to understand at times. When I was in Oman I believed everything we were told by our officers about the so called rebels. Since then of course, I have learned exactly why they rebelled and regret some of my actions there. As usual, Britain was just protecting it's oil interests and ended up appointing Army officers to top jobs in the Omani government after independence to keep control.conyoviejo wrote: ↑Sat Jul 04, 2020 3:40 pmHow sad,you must have been inconsolable..
