Crikey DM!

It's only been on the Current Affairs forum all week!

 

[Dangermouse]

Do shut up, Penfold!

Not everybody reads that cr*p, you know.

 

[Shakey]

Si, Baroni!

Would there be any reason why our Coxwain would disaprove of this?

For some reason he does!

it says the wars in Iraq and afghan cant be won and i am not particularly happy with that bit of the petition

I would urge individuals not to add their military rank to the petition - firstly it looks like Navy trying to keep jobs. Secondly, persoanlly regardless of my views towards No10's current incumbent, it is not IMHO correct to have such an overt display by the military on a political site. Far better to do so in your capacity as a private citizen.

 

[Passed-over_Loggie]

Wise advice Jim

 

[noemis]

I agree too, but please still sign, the underlying sentiment is what counts, Save our Navy!!

 

[Dangermouse]

IMHO we should keep passing the word and signing the petition - wouldn't it be sad if 'Save the Navy' got less votes than 'Repeal the Hunting Act 2004' - so only another 15862 votes to go!

I'll pass the word but won't sign it myself...as mentioned beforehand, I don't agree with the part thats talking about Iraq and Afghanistan. Should've been made more politically neutral, referring more to the general need for a stronger RN, rather than bringing up specific political grievances and issues.

I'd definitely sign one that was more politically neutral though.
