jno, it does. But two wrongs never make a right as has been said.
/// The precise wording will be very important ///

Yes, jim, and you can bet there's been some frantic rewriting going on all morning.
Miliband is entirely devoid of any semblance of dignity. The prospect of him representing this country on the world stage is dire.
I suspect it was put out to gauge opinion before he actually says something.
Did many overladen boats of refugees set sail from Libya during Gaddafi's time in office?
To have a hand in overthrowing a regime but then do nothing about it's replacement might make one slightly responsible for the consequences.

Iraq ?
^ Indeed - but best forgotten by the Labour Party.... there's an election looming.

OK sp1814, we all know your attitude along with some other ABers, towards Farage and UKIP, so perhaps in your minds, that now puts Milliband and Labour on the same level.
-- answer removed --
Nothing much to do the overthrow of Gaddafi or Britain's involvement.

Apart from the genuine Libyan asylum seekers, those who are cramming the people trafficker's boats, are simply economic refugees using the Libyan coast line as their point of embarkation.

What we have to be careful about is that the practice isn't copied with the same intensity by those economic refugees waiting to get across the Channel from Calais.
I wasn't happy to hear some Labour spokesman saying, 'We are supporting the current Conservative policy of arming & training anti-Assad forces in the Middle-East'.
I thought that nonsense had been quietly dropped. No wonder there's little progress getting rid of IS. Why should he bust a gut to help us eradicate them if he knows all guns will be trained on him if and when they're sorted out.
So will every one here hang a go at Mr Miliband join me in congratulating David Cameron on his bold intervention against Gaddafi then :-)
One of the better things he did as Prime Minister
But he and others should have done more post operation. That is simply a fact but why let the facts get in the way of a good rant
It is also unfortunate for the refugees that the intervention now has come in the middle of an election campaign hence the 'we'll send a few vehicles but for Gawd's sake keep them away from the U.K.' :-) remarks
And in fairness Labour would probably do the same in the current climate
As far as I'm aware Labour supported military intervention into Libya. Miliband is a disgrace.
I am convinced that I first heard about the situations in Ceuta, Melilla and Lampedusa long before Gaddhafi got his scaffolding implant. The crowds we have known of, at Sangatte, for the last decade or two have come via that route.

The waves of refugees from Eritrea and Syria appear to be something new. Evidently, the instabilities in Egypt have left its borders somewhat leaky, too.

Personally, I think it's incorrect to blame Cameron and our intervention in Libya. It's like their is a tacit refusal to accept that Africa has had access to global media and the internet for years. They now realise what a **hole they are living in and, with Google streetview, exactly what Europe looks like, so they'd be fools to not be heading this way.

Nothing to do with Cameron, it is entirely due to global-scale inequality of standards of living. Give them a way to make their lives comfortable and they will stay in the land where they were born, if that's what you really want.


I thought Milliband's comments were quite mild - just that the UK contributed to the crisis, which I believe to be correct.

Farage on the other hand said Cameron's "fanaticism" was the direct cause, which to me is nonsense. And yet where is all the condemnation of Farage from Tory ABers?
Just to reiterate for the umpteenth time that it is Farage not Miliband who is criticising the military action. And so I recall did a lot of people on here at the time
Well said jno: somehow I overlooked your last comment
.
CAMERON DROWNS SICK LITTLE BABIES - OFFICIAL

as a headline I think it catches the attention quite well

as for the accusation that we overthrew a govt and there wasnt even a Plan A to replace it .... yup we have done that before . Bliar and Iraq springs to mind
Don't worry Ed, I'm still voting for you, along with friends and family. Must get rid of that pasty useless lying fop Cameron !

//Is it the norm for Labourites to open mouth and insert foot I wonder?// I thought Michael Foot had long since snuffed it.

Mind you, it's a statement worthy of his mouth. And what about TB - is Miliband going to call for his indictment if elected then?
