Blackman To Be Freed ....

[gnasher16 31,370]

 

 

 

I agree, which I guess will surprise you. That's why I'm not telling folks what war is like. The closest I'll ever get to that is relaying accounts of others.

 

Any rational person should be able to make a decision based on facts and evidence. The only times I'm chirping up here are when things like that are being discussed and misconstrued. I certainly wouldn't argue with a Afghan veteran about how Blackman must have felt.

 

Im not surprised or unsurprised really i was just making my own views of folks opinions heard thats all i wasnt digging you out im just of the " little bit of experience beats a lot of education " school of learning thats all and thought it was a logical question to ask.

Jo there is no point debating with Born. The lad makes Stephen Fry look like Mr Bean. I wish he would get on The Chase and steal the show...

LOL, that's bollocks, I'm wrong plenty.

 

Problem these days is that folks just want to listen to a credible source and believe their answer is the right answer, rather than going away a learning some of the established facts themselves. I like to do that. That doesn't mean that you can then form opinions on experiences because they aren't factual, they're subjective. But you can comment on facts as you see them.

Tongue in cheek mate...?

By the way there's nothing wrong with being educated. Obviously you take in what you read and you understand it. Good for you.

And I can't remember you being wrong.....ever..?

Fair enough. I'd welcome an expert of the conventions to come along and comment on this it'd certainly supersede my little bit of self education.

I know it was mate. I just don't really like being portrayed as smart or intelligent, it doesn't do you any favours in life. Like in this case, it just sets you up to be perceived as an authority on a topic rather than simply an equal having a discussion.

Maybe that shyster Phil Shiner could put his dubious talents to good use, and get the good Sergeant some compo ?

[Blackbriar 8,569]

Jo I see your still posting... which means I must have missed the thread where you posted nudes to becomes a verified female member. Much appreciated if you could stick a link to said thread up.

We don't allow that sort of thing ! Do we ? I mean, it wouldn't be right ! Would it ? Surely not....Obviously, I'd have to see for myself to be able to judge.....

He won't get any Compo, he has still been convicted of a crime and the just sentence imposed, but somewhere along the line I can see him amassing a few quid out of this I hope .

I hope you're right, D !

I can see that a good few would have tried the old "infringed my human rights....failed to provide proper treatment" tack, and milked it for all its worth, but not a Marine sergeant !

Really do you think he's the first our government have known about? it happened numerous times in the Falklands. Do some research The Paras shot a good few unarmed Argentine prisoners and blind eyes where turned. Blackman was prosecuted to appease the soppy PC brigade, he's done a bit of jail now so everyone is happy at his expense. Hope he manages to live a full and fruitful life and walks around with his head held high
