Defence Spending

The armed forces are woefully underfunded. The living conditions for some army families are a disgrace. So it makes people very angry when the government spends £33 million on asylum centres that were never built. That's right. It cost £33 million pounds for the government to even just think about building such centres, such as the one at Bicester. Think about how many army homes could have been rebuilt with £33 million. And think what we could do with the £20 billion that the Trident nuclear 'deterrent' will cost.

In other news Tesco has launched its US operations. The stores are called 'fresh and easy'. They chickened out on using 'Tesco' because if the venture fails they don't want to taint their name. What I find ironic is that their selling point is cheap fresh food for home cooking. Tesco UK are lousy for fresh food. In my experience their fruit, veg and meat is terrible quality.

The Lie

Bush claims there should be no emission restrictions because China and India would reject the idea outright.

But China and India accept mandatory cuts, they just disagree with everyone else how the system should work.
