Worthless, Hapless, Toothless

...pretty much sums it up IMHO.

The UN. About as much use as Anne Frank's drum kit.

What would you do, ChillD?

I thought you were referring to the lame duck President and his cardboard cutout Secretary of State. Obama and Kerry have been woeful.

While these two clowns veto anything the UN wants, they are powerless.

Phillip Hammond our gutless Foreign Secretary is worth a mention too for abstaining on UN resolutions.

Blaming the UN for lack of progress is a bit ridiculous.

Thanks goodness I thought you were talking about the Spurs forward line there

Well, the writer of the article obviously doesn't believe so.
You think they're fit for purpose and doing a sterling job then Gromit?

Aren't they failing to do exactly what they were set up for and regularly so? As for the power of veto for the big 5, it's the most ridiculous set of affairs.

I find it offensive to see Anne Frank's name used in this flippant manner.

I'm just glad he didn't say 'as much use as a one legged man in an *** kicking competition'. I've only got one leg and would have found [i] that [i] offensive.

[ dave wonders who the phrase 'chocolate fireguard' might offend ... ]

[naomi24]

Ludwig, haaaaaaaa! Silly devil. You do make me laugh.

[jomifl]

With Russia and the US both having the veto on the security council abject failure is guaranteed.

[ludwig]

To be serious, the whole situation over there disgusts me. Do Israelis see the same news reports as we do, or are they heavily biased/censored?

I too mulled it over but decided it was fair to use it.
I toyed with catflap on a submarine and handbrake on a canoe but I've used them too often in the past, so I decided on that one for the first time.
