Tobias Elwood
Did anyone hear Tobias Elwood on Sky news this morning and other news channels.
Were has he been for the last number of years. Telling us something that most of us already know about China.
He is calling for a stronger response on how China trades with the UK and other western nations.
He says we should be prepared to assist Taiwan in the event of a Chinese attack. We should impose stricter controls on Chinese influence around the world.
China I suspect views the UK as nothing more than a nusiance. Did hear tonight that the UK are going to buy their way out of Chinese participation on the new nuclear power plant down the South of the country.Who was the bright spark that agreed to let the Chinese get involved in that contract,
Another corker was that the UK should do everything in it's power to assist the UKraine in the prosecution of Russians for war crimes.
Need to set an example by prosecuting those in the Britsh forces who committed atrocities around the world which we have been involved in.
#Those who sought regime change like Cameron , Blair and what abought George W Bush good luck with that one.

Re: Tobias Elwood
Once again we hear the mighty roar of the media.
Crap on top of crap served with crap and more crap.
Problem is they know nothing, but they do not know they know nothing, but they do not know they know they know nothing and they do not know they do not know nothing.
In fact all they know is very little, but do not know they do not know very little about what they do not know.

#2 that is it John they talk crap but they get a sound bite. The Chinese must be quavering in their boots.
Who reckons the recent protests in China will be resolved peacefully.

China will do what China dose, but as long as our local Chinese stays open I do not really care.,
