    The point I was making is, that is what the other parties will come out with on the lead up
    to the local or national elections.
    Rather than saying what they will do, they will try to rubbish UKIP.

    As soon as any party starts telling me that I shouldn’t vote for this or that party, they have lost my vote.

    Bun fight here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-22328898

    Silly comments like that could backfire on either of the major parties.

    Next we’ll have someone saying “A UKIP vote is a wasted vote”. That will really show which party is running scared.

    Didn’t spot these myself, but info passed on from a friend.

    At around 12:00, two Dutch Air force Apache’s as “Redskin-52 & 53” – Q25 & Q30 tracked on radar whilst talking to Southend.

    Routing via Manston, from Mildenhall to the 301st Squadron at Gilze-Rijen Air Base-Holland.
    Followed by a third shortly afterwards with the call-sign “Redskin-51” as Q14.

    This quote from last week made me laugh.


    [SIZE=3]The bizarre remark was made to Lord Mandelson when the pair met for the first, and only, time after he was
    appointed Northern Ireland secretary.

    He said: “She came up to me and she said, ‘I’ve got one thing to say to you, my boy … you can’t trust the Irish,
    they are all liars’, she said, ‘liars, and that’s what you have to remember, so just don’t forget it’.[/SIZE]

    Just for the sake of discussion what would actually happen if, say, tomorrow he was taken from Belmarsh and put on a plane to Amman – full stop?

    Which is what I believe the French did when they wanted to get rid of an unwanted guest. They just did it.

    Didn’t the Czech Security Air Guard aircraft operate with civilian registrations, OK-xxx ?

    They do look to be in very nice condition. I wonder if they cover them in the winter,
    or they’ve just had a recent lick of paint ?

    Despite the fact that Hamish Mahaddie was involved with the production, perhaps the kindest thing to be said about the series is that it hasn’t stood the test of time.

    To be fair, there aren’t many TV series from that era which have stood the test of time.

    I only have a vague recollection of the series on TV.
    I imagine I thought it was great at the time ? 🙂
