New Labour Armed Forces minister gets mauled (13July09)

In this Daily Politics clip, Andrew Neil trips up and mauls the failure that is the New Labour Armed Forced minister, Bill Rammell. The minister quotes meaningless percentages when when you look at the real data, it shows a shocking lack of equipment given to the UK army, instead the money is being pissed up a wall in vote buying for New Labour via the benefits system.

Recorded from The Daily Politics, 13 July 2009.

This man was my MP till he got kicked out at the last General Election . Complete waste of space.A monolgue talker and a lover of the Eu, he just loved listening to his own voice !!

Bullshit Bill Rammell is a gutless little cunt. I'm amazed his wife hasn't divorced him,. How she can bear to go to bed with a gruesome little spineless yankee cocksucker like Bullshit Bill is truly amazing. Still, I expect a few choice wines from Waitrose and a nice afternoon at the Garden Centre are a million miles away from where the British soldiers are dying because of cunts like Bullshit Bill.

What a vile vile animal that man is. Anyone over 25, capable of thought and still taken in by this kind of talk seriously needs their head examined. Surely experience tells everyone that lies and bollocks are spoken at all times.

What a legend! politicians beware!

For a successful operation in Afganistan we need less helicopters and less troops - like Zero and Zero.

Here we fucking go again.

Labour can never ever give straight answer on anything.

Bull shit scum!

If only we had that kind of Journalist here in this country!! JESUS CHRIST!! That's what you call hard questions LOL!!!

I have to give it to the British: they've got som great journalists.

[MarshallKutuzov]

How much do you figure Bill Rammell makes from the Americans, paying him privately to keep sending troops to fight their wars for them?? What British interest is threatened in Afghanistan, eh/ NONE AT ALL. That's where the arguments of cunts like Bill Rammell and David Miliband fall to pieces - yankee bootlickers on an earner from the CIA.

I think the the British really need to lead by example, get their shit in order, get British soldiers equipped properly and then push other Europeans to properly equip their soldiers and contribute the proper number of soldiers to the mission.

This whole NATO = US and UK thing is getting old. We've been shouldering the burden for 60 years now while others reap the benefits. Time for the Germans, French, Turks and Spanish to step the fuck up.
