Political Stuff

Everyone’s heard about the rescue of the French and Colombian  hostage Ingrid Betancourt from Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia. As it came out later, one of the Colombian soldiers was stupid enough to wear a Red Cross emblem.

Obviously the idiot didn’t realise he’s putting Red Cross workers across the world at risk, and almost certainly Red Cross workers in Colombia, as well as breaking international law.  What’s even worse is it seems President Uribe is allowing the soldier to go unpunished.  That bothers me.

I’m delighted to hear that the British Ministry of Defence is doubling the compensation paid to seriously wounded soldiers. The maximum payment will increase to £570,000, on top of a guaranteed income payment for life.  Finally our boys are starting to get justly compensated for their sacrifices.

Lastly… a rather beautiful British soldier called Katrina is due to compete for Miss England.  Never thought a dirty woman could be so attractive.
