Unfortunately the press and populous these days believe they have the right to know everything, about everyone, right down to what time this morning Theresa May took a dump.

I reckon WWII would have ended very differently with todays press in charge..

Didn't this missile go a bit wrong back in June...? and it got covered up coz there was some sort of election/political thing going on at the time...?


Never really covered up  ::)

The debate was whether to replace the submarines  ;)
NOT the weapon system carried by them  :)

Its just a case of the press muppets actually believe that they should be told EVERYTHING  ::) ;D ;D ;D

Put it this way ................ If the government of the day told the British people EVERYTHING, people would be rioting in the streets because they are incapable of understanding how things work in the real world  ::)

Things like this should be on a strictly Need To Know bases and the general population don't knew to know  ::)

No-one mentioned submarines.....?

The misfire happened just before a vote in parliament about the replacement of the submarines that carry the weapon.
All the lefty tree huggers are all whining because they wasn't told while the debate was going on  :)

It now sounds like Obama asked Cameron so keep it quite because (allegedly) it was a yank cockup which caused it to veer off course  ::)

No weapon is 100% and quite rightly it was suppressed where all nuclear weapons stuff is top secret. :y

Rare S300 footage!!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtuN8UuAWTg

Maybe not so rare after all...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pkuOZVSrS4

and this S300 failure near Ukraine border killed and injured some of the troops taking part.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1s77cqabHsM

The anti-ship version of the S300 also has its failures.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvSFN6Q_jpM

And the Allies have their failures as well!

Back in the 60's Blue Steel (our stand off missile) was appalling, if it didn't explode while being filled with fuel on the ground 50% of them failed to launch successfully. However Avro and the MOD told everyone it worked well and showed some successful test footage. So the USSR believed it worked and we had deterrence.  :y

After all, you only need someone to believe that there's a risk that it might work. ;)

Yes, not sharing your military secrets with a complete plonker is always a sound policy. :y

Indeed. He stood up in the commons today to offer his condolences "to the family of the Police officer shot dead in Belfast at the weekend".
Two problems with that. Firstly, the officer isn't dead. Secondly, the hypocrisy was staggering, coming from a lifelong supporter of the IRA.
He has two by elections to fight in the near future. Labour held both seats, but they will probably lose Stoke (Labour since god was a boy) to UKIP (alternatively UKIP are probably finished if they don't win it), and the Tories may well win the other.
Unfortunately, that could be the end of Corbyns leadership. I would like him to stay in that job for the rest of my life.

We could all do with the useless arse that is Corbyn going as whilst he is there then there is no effective opposition.

No matter which side you vote for, an effective opposition is key to making such a governing setup work

What's worse, I can't see anyone lined up to provide said opposition when he finally gets the chop either. :-\

It will be interesting to see if he survives the two 'safe' byelections in the near future. ::) ::) ::)
