    What he said on Question Time was he voted against the legislation because he did not agree with the attempt by the Executive to give itself yet more powers without any Judicial oversight of these powers.
    If you are interested in the Election you might find the following voting patterns of May and Corbyn interesting:

    For me the most enjoyable part of the Election debates was Tim Farron's summary on the debate the Prime Minister failed to attend -
    'Farron says Rudd is coming up next. The PM could not be bothered to turn up. Bake Off is coming up next. Make yourself a brew. You are not worth her time. So don’t give her yours'.

    so it wasn,t right wing lies that he voted against all terrorist bills

    No it wasn't but it's the reason why he voted against them that matters.

    And if you asked Joe public if all those measures would be necessary today most people would say yes

    Very likely but they may also prefer not to have suffered from 20,000 less Police, 1,300 less Armed Police Officers, 22,000 less Army personnel, 5,000 less Navy personnel, 25% less RAF personnel, 15% fewer Firefighters since 2010 during the watch of the lady who promises to be strong and stable.

    Depends what year you're referring to - 1979 Blue, 1997 Red, 2010 Orange, 2017 - you've guessed it already.

    reds were changed to orange in 1976 but re-introduced in 1987, so you was ok there. I just don't know which colour or just say sod it and buy a pack of peanuts

  12. When I joined in 1987 the navy numbered 65,000 now it is circa 29,000 ... so the other 30,000 went between 1987 and 2010 ... I wonder which party was responsible?

    Sad fact now is technology is taking over. They have cameras on bombs and can drop em on your head so numbers are not as important.
     
  14. especially to the person who's head its being dropped on.

    This inspiring advertisement makes me want to do 2 things
    1/ Immediately move to East Yorkshire.
    2/ Vote Conservative.


    The production values are incredible, his theme song is worthy of an award, and I have to find out if his hairdresser is local.
    I wonder if he got his charisma bypass on the NHS or if he went private? Sine he's a Tory I'd guess he went private.
