Corbyn And Nuclear Weapons

Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn has stated that he would not use nuclear weapons in defence of this country. That is a statement that makes him totally unfit to ever become Prime Minister of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Some may feel that is a very strong statement to make about him but for me it is all about the roles and responsibilities that a person accepts in their life and which they are willing to discharge. Let me explain.

Take the humble Private soldier. Now if a Private soldier joined the Army and then made the statement "I know that it is my job to defend my country and that is what I have signed up to do, but I will not fight to do it. I will not shoot an enemy nor will I put myself in danger. I know that is the role and the responsibility that I have volunteered for but I won't do it". Is this person any use as a soldier? Is he fulfilling the responsibilities that he has signed up for? Is he actually defending his country?

What about the Army Officer who has the lives of his soldiers in his hands? When the going gets tough and hard decisions have to be made he made the following statement "I know that it is my job to fight this battle to the best of my ability and that means I have to make decisions that could get some of my soldiers killed. I am not going to do that. In any given situation that is going to put my men in danger, I will not make the decision to put them in that position. It know that is the role and responsibility that I have accepted but I won't do it".
Is this person any use as a soldier? Is he fulfilling the responsibilities that he has signed up for? Is he actually defending his country?

So now let us take the Prime Minister. When the need to exercise the roles and responsibilities in relation to defending this country, would a Prime Minister that is not prepared to do that be defending this country? If he is not prepared to go to the extremes of the responsibilities and take the hard decisions is he defending this country? If the Prime Minister in power is not prepared to use nuclear weapons under any circumstances then what? This country lays down its arms and surrenders to a bully that is threatening the use of nuclear weapons against us? If that is the case then this country would have to rewrite the military strategy that is used to defend it, for without the nuclear option the rest is worthless.

Of course, we would all hope and pray that the nuclear option is never needed and would never have to be deployed but should we ever inform the world that this country possesses a nuclear arsenal but would not use it? Would that strengthen or weaken us in the event of a full-scale war? Would the very fact that we possess a nuclear arsenal act as a deterrent in the first place that would make a full-scale war a more remote possibility?

Considering all of this could Jeremy Corbyn, a man that has said he would not defend this country to the limits of his ability, ever be viewed as being acceptable as the Prime Minister of this country? Could the party which he leads, the Labour Party, ever be given the responsibility of forming a government? I don't think so.

Whining Grimsby MP Onn Gets Front Bench Position For Labour

It really is unbelievable. Melanie Onn the MP for Grimsby has been made Shadow Leader of The House of Commons. This is the woman who described the front-bench Shadow positions of Health and Defence amongst others as "tea-making" positions, whilst whinging about there not being any women in power in Corbyn's Cabinet.. That really shows the contempt she holds the NHS and the Armed Forces in!
Please see here for my original post on this: http://steveodare.blogspot.co.uk/2015/09/labour-mp-looks-down-on-armed-forces.html

The Leader of the House of Commons and the Shadow Leader are normally senior members of Parliament with the experience needed to be able to organise the business of the house i.e. the subjects that are allowed for debate and ensuring that the policies and bills etc. that need to be debated and voted on are on the agendas. As can be seen the roles are very important.

In the case of Miss Onn,she has been an MP since May 2015. She has held no positions of authority or responsibility in the Commons. She has no experience of parliament or the way it runs and should be run!

Compare this with the Leader of the House Chris Grayling, an MP since 2001 who has been Shadow Secretary of Sate for Transport, Shadow Secretary of State for Work and Pensions and Shadow Home Secretary. Since 2010 he has served as Minister of State for Employment, Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice before becoming Leader of the House.

So why do we think that Miss Onn has been given this, presumably in her eyes, non "tea-making" position? The only answer I can come up with is that she has a big gob and her big gob has frightened the the totally inept Corbyn into giving her a job! If anybody can think of another reason please do tell!

What a way to run a party!

Labour MP Looks Down On Armed Forces and Health Services

Just heard the new female Labour MP for Grimsby, Melanie Onn, describe the jobs that the female members of Corbyns Shadow Cabinet have been given as "tea making" jobs. That will be Health and Defence amongst others then. I am sure all the doctors and nurses and the soldiers, sailors and airmen will be so pleased that she views them, the organisations they work in and the jobs they do so highly!

I served 23 years in the Army and worked in the NHS for 10 years. I am so glad she respects my efforts!

The positions that the female MPs have been appointed to are full Shadow Cabinet positions. "Tea making" jobs? I ask you?

Where do Labour get these idiots from?

It's Tom and Jerry

You just couldn't make it up could you.

The Labour Party now in the hands of this pair:

Hard left it is then!
