Ex-soldier Faces Jail for Handing in Gun

A former soldier who handed a discarded shotgun in to police faces at least five years imprisonment for “doing his duty”.

Paul Clarke, 27, was found guilty of possessing a firearm at Guildford Crown Court on Tuesday – after finding the gun and handing it personally to police officers on March 20 this year.

The jury took 20 minutes to make its conviction, and Mr Clarke now faces a minimum of five year’s imprisonment for handing in the weapon.

In a statement read out in court, Mr Clarke said: “I didn’t think for one moment I would be arrested.

And more to the point, where does Erich Mielke fit in with Home Secretary Jacqui Smith & Secretary of State for Justice Jack Straw? I thought that old git was long dead!

Cheese-eating Surrender Monkeys

I’m not a fan of the Daily Wail and I certainly wouldn’t snaffle an entire piece (other than to rip it to shreds), but this piece tickled me… with the final paragraph being quite apposite: :D

Warning: French

As France rejoins NATO, a humorous reminder of why we never missed them

With typical flamboyance and fanfare, French President Nicolas Sarkozy this week announced that France is to rejoin Nato’s military command after 40 years of self-imposed exile.

It was in 1966 that President Charles de Gaulle pulled out of the heart of the Nato alliance, claiming that belonging to the Nato military command undermined French independence and sovereignty. Continue reading this item…

Back in the 80′s, when I was a more slender being, I was on the entertainment’s committee of an infantry unit, albeit part-time, both the unit and the committee. One task was to arrange parties for all ranks to attend. Apart from the booze, the most important task, as far as the men were concerned, [...]
