Todays the day of Independence here…

Tuesday, Day 2456 in the Little Miss House… (Ohh I hate Big brother)
But i am watching India with interest. Not content to demand access to all data passing through Blackberry Smartphones they are now demanding Google and Skype hand over all the Etraffic they generate in the country too…
I am watching that with great interest…
Well what a day. The first story I have picked up on was tweeted by my wife this morning and shows that the Military generally looks after its own. Especially when there are not enough helicopters and vehicles to go around.
A true hero leading from the front who was killed by an IED in Afghanistan was left out in the open guarded by his men for a number of days because there was no transport to get him back.
Am I missing the point here? Were the guys guarding him not alive? Did they also not need to return to the protection of a camp?
I’m sure they would have been glad to pick up the remains of their Boss and return him to his base.
Or was the shortage of vehicle and helicopters not urgent enough to send out for these guys?
The report states they came under attack while guarding his remains! If that is so, the need would have been there to get them all back to base! The Military likes to shout from the roof tops when some idiot flies on the wing of an attack helicopter to rescue the body of another hero but the MOD cover up the fact that was a one off and most of the time the dead are not treated as well as that, unless the troops on the ground take it upon themselves to go out and recover the body(ies).
Desecration of a true war hero: Helicopter shortage forced troops to guard remains of most senior officer killed in Afghanistan for three days.
Britain’s most senior officer killed in Afghanistan suffered a final insult in death because of a lack of helicopters on the front line.
Lieutenant Colonel Rupert Thorneloe, 39, was killed by a Taliban roadside bomb in July last year after warning that the shortage of aircraft was putting lives at risk.
The Daily Mail can now reveal that soldiers who watched their commanding officer die were then forced to look after some of his remains for three days because there were no helicopters available to collect them.
And then there are reports today of speculation that the French and British will share Aircraft carriers in the future. Well we tried that and defeated them every time in the 1600’s!!!
Blimey!!!
Then you get stories like this proving the British Navy are worth their weight in GOLD!!!

I love the fact the Navy ship just dwarfs the little matchstick boat! Hahaha
And why do we need the ships, sailors and all the other Arms for our fair land of the UK when you have this scum to contend with?
Hoodie gang smashed by police after posting drug and gun boasts on YouTube
At least this lot have been sorted by the Police but just the publicity alone in the National Media means these scum have heightened their stature, especially amongst all the other idiots who can’t spell in their home town…
It’s about time the community Policeman was allowed to give the little darlings a bloody good clip round the ear when they need it. They may turn out to be better people,
Or better still, send them little toads to Afghanistan instead of the real Men.
