The recent ( in my view plain wrong ) sorties into Iraq and Afghanistan cost the UK ( which the Establishment claims has a financial defecit ) £20 billion ( we will ignore the death count for this observation ).
The bill to American taxpayers is considerably higher.
Now we are in Libya ( oil reserves ) the bill for this " war " is expected to reach another £1 billion by autumn, with no end in sight.
Is this not criminal?
I'm rather thankful that we a re in Libya right ow
Ashendant, when you say you are glad " we " are in Libya, would that include yourself and/or family and close friends being there?
The Oxfam report " Growing a Better Future " shows that 1 billion people apound the world go hungry every day, despite the fact that the world is capable of providing sustenance for everyone. At the same time people in the rich countries are getting more obese. And guess what, big business interests are ranked of higher importance by governments than feeding poor people.( 3 companies control 90% of the grain trade ).
What a system![/code]
A man is born to a virgin mother, lives, dies, comes alive again and then disappears into the clouds to become his Dad. How likely is that?
