armed forces are currently training for and have been drafted in to fight fires during our strikes, they initially rode green goddess engines but now they've been sold they will ride the red ones if we go out for long periods
this fact coupled with other riders that I cannot say without getting into trouble is the tories way of  trying to defeat us

I take you are a fireman maddog.  But what you are talking about is essential safety cover and is done with the agreement of the trade unions - that is my understanding.  But yes the Tories will do everything and anything to defeat the working man.

s for the middle east, you're right but remember the MP's call the shots

Absolutely.  I have no issue with those in the armed forces, yes many of them literally put their lives on the line and indeed some of them give their lives.  But you won't find the Thatchers, the Blairs and the Camerons of this world on the front line.  And we do shockingly little to help, that is those who need help whom I understand there are many, after they have left the army.

As for the middle east.... Well how about this, just a few weeks ago Prime Minister Hamad bin Jasim bin Jabir al-Thani of Qatar  was in London to meet David Cameron.  David Cameron, we are told, was politely asking him to stop funding ISIS.  Guess what - Qatar is one of 'our' priority arms markets.
