ParisInAKilt Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 I joined the army in the 80's not to fight for Queen and country, but because there where no jobs when I left school. My section was like most others in the British army, it was made up of working class guys, doing a job, and we did the job, not out of some outdated Victorian idea of patriotism and loyalty to the flag, but out of straight forward economic need. When we fought, we fought for each other, not for a flag, we fought so Ram would get home to see his daughter, so Cunnie could pay for his wedding, so Manxie could get his cosworth, so Yorkie could get the chance to pop his cherrie, so me, beef and Nige, could go to the Naffi every night, and get rat ersed, and when we picked bits of Billy out of a tree in south Armagh, we fought for revenge, not for Queen and country. Very well put Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biffer Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 (edited) I wonder what guys like Lieutenant Commander Colin May would say. Announced as a yes supporter today having left the Navy on Friday (couldn't comment previously due to regs). I know many Royal Navy colleagues who would be delighted to serve in Scottish Defence Forces. In the same article, former UK ambassador to Georgia, Donald MacLaren, confirms he's a yes voter and condemns the UK's priority of desperately clinging to a seat at the top table. Similarly to Lt. Cmdr. May, he says I tell you, there are plenty of Scots and non-Scots in the Foreign Office and in every other branch of government who are ready to swap shaughly Union decision-making for the creativeness and vigour of real responsibility within a Scotland making its way in the world http://www.heraldscotland.com/mobile/politics/referendum-news/big-guns-of-uk-state-fire-in-to-back-a-yes-vote.25314700 Edited September 14, 2014 by biffer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DISGUSTED THAT A RESPECTED PAPER COULD PRINT THAT.................. I think that is what disgusts me the most. That many of the dead would have been big YES men and they are now being used to promote a No, men who died for their country fukked over for a cheap boost at the polls. it is repulsive behaviour.

Wibble Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 The piece shows how low the Westminster establishment is prepared to go to hang on to the 'corpse' England is handcuffed to. It gave me the boak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Of Paisley Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 The Telegraph is a respected paper, someone said? Beg to differ on that one. No better than The Sun in the McKenzie era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
