Should probably put an argument forward for Britain had the USA not decisively joined the war; decisive as in the western European/north African theatre.
Britain could not have been invaded successfully by Germany; the majority of the German fleet was destroyed during the Norwegian campaign...
Royal Navy, Royal Marines, Metropolitan Polic boat units also trained/training to prevent a Mumbai-style attack.
All these security measures have been getting a unjust rep here. I'd rather that all these measures were all in place and never used, than could have been used but weren't deployed...
Most likely indeed, because the trade unionists who vote in the Labour Party leaders will vote in the someone who sucks up to them the most. As they carry 3 votes at party elections (I think it's 3), they are likely to out-vote the more pragmatic-minded members.

The real thing to remember (not just you I should say) is that while it is a government owned broadcaster, the government itself actually has no say in programme content. The Home Office does not decide "what will the BBC say about this tonight". The BBC Trust and Director general are...
... Morrissey definitely doesn't speak for all British people (don't know what gave him that impression...). An old rock star viewing his own views and thinking he speaks for around 60 million of us isn't the best way to gauge prevailing national opinions...
Roger Walters: is anyone proud of...
Personally I'd arrest him for murdering the English language! But seriously, maybe an arrest was extreme. He's clearly a bit of an idiot, but no terrorist. Just a gobby little git.
