Well, doing a little research including Hansard I can't say James, nor Darren, appear particularly reliable in what they say. Please let me know from where this originates, presumably either a senior EU official of someone from the UK armed forces. Right at the moment this looks seriously suspect. I'm not saying you are gullible of course. Edited by Mapletree (09 Sep 2019 12.26pm) Here we go

It was precisely just one FRENCH minister, who was then backed up by an EU official. This is just noise. How did I know you would say this

It depends on how you define "professionals" I would have thought that the Chancellor of the Exchequer was a professional and he seems happy enough that No Deal won't mean the end of all life as we know it You mean the guy that one was on the Marr show yesterday getting himself so tied up even Houdini couldn't have escaped! Very professional! He wasn't even a good, let alone professional, bullsh*tter. He cannot even disguise his "I hope for an election" give away" proposals as anything other than attempted bribes. This team are a joke.

They are credited with being a key driver of the financial crisis. As a 'professional' presumably he knew the risks he was taking on behalf of the less professional people to whom he sold. He is also reputed to be involved in the Dark Blue tax avoidance scheme, so at least he knows all about that. Our future is in the hands of someone with excellent judgement then.

If my memory serves me correctly he was doing his job and seeking to put a positive gloss on the way the report was presented. That's what spin doctors do. I don't like them very much but the fact remains that he wasn't making policy, he was presenting it in the best possible light. And yes I do think the Iraq war was legal and that the attacks on Blair totally unjustified. I think Blair's primary role was to try to moderate Bush's responses whilst providing support. We won't really know until all the records are unsealed.

It may have been a good idea to read your link before posting it. Clearly it is based on an alliance, and indeed states the deployment of troops into harm’s way “remains the ultimate sovereign decision of a national government” And it isn't AGAINST the US, it states: It also says this is a complement to NATO. Which is complete and utter rubbish and is in fact anti US sentiment. Something that is very very evident, not only in the EU I might add. I completely reject it and it isn't the majority British position at all.....We have never said anything even close to what those t*** Merkel and Macron said. The idea that we would have to go along with their positions within the EU makes my skin crawl. Edited by Stirlingsays (09 Sep 2019 1.21pm)

If you don't think we need a range of ways to defend ourselves and should be content to rely on just one overseas power, it is your right to hold such a view. Having worked a great deal with the MoD I hold different views. I contest the idea that the majority of British people are happy relying solely on the US for our protection.

YOU have worked with the MoD!!!! Anything good on Al Jazeera tonight is there? Fecking hell.
