Good old Tony
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/6388713.stm
like I said, tony + bush = WWIII
Might as well paint a f*ck off big red target on the country (I vote putting it on Essex) 
no London, that's where the problem is...though the target is only 6ft in diameter

I really hope we demand 10's of billions of pounds per year rent for the land. If not why make ourselves target one?
But I suspect Tony will get a bung of a couple of million for a 'speaking tour' and it will be perpetually rent free.
I'm not entirely sure why having part of a missile defence system (at the end of the day it's designed to shoot down incoming ICBMs) makes
us more of a target.
If anything we're more protected as we get included under part of the defence 'umbrella'.
Cheers,
James
You all know fine well that both Bush and Blair plus their friends have shares etc. in defence companys…

In the early sixties (yes, I do remember being there!) the US stated that in the event of a nuclear strike, they would be obliged to strike at Britain to prevent the Russians getting a strategic foothold here. That was the start of our capitulation to the US that continues to this day. So after Greenham common went they were bound to site a new strike facility here so that they could keep the srategic foothold, but I don'y know who against now!
I think I'll have to take that last statement with a very LARGE pinch of salt
As far as I'm aware the US has bases here and the alliance with the US actually goes back to WII and the rather large loan of money we borrowed
from them to fight the Germans.

Right conspiracy theory no 1.
Bet they are halfway there already Gouvernment just gauging the reaction of general public so they can decide how secret it needs to be when they do
it if the public wants it or not !!!!!!!!.

It's the aliens again...they wan't to cut up the cows
why spend millions if not billions on an anti missile defence system when one of the biggest threats at the moment seems to be from land based devices
(explosive and dirty)
guess they realise there isnt really much they can do against a determined land based attack on london...
Guess who's going to be payimg for it then ? Us motorists. 
We are after all just a huge money making machine for the government arn't we ?
