    If the US, France, Britain, Canada and Denmark are enforcing a UN mandate with their actions over Lybia who is paying for it? Do the UN have central funds made available to those who are acting on their behalf?

    Not trolling BTW… I’d just like to know.

    Judging by our council tax bill i suspect it’s being siphoned off the water board and put into missiles.

    There’s a use by date on the cruise missiles and the likes. Cheaper to use them in anger than to decommission them. So in some twisted way its probably saving the MOD money. 😉

    Is there a use by date and a best before date?

    Read the title and thought it was “Bombing Labia – who pays?”. Thought STW was about to continue my education in all things weird and wonderful in the sexual department 😯

    I’d assumed that we end up forking out for it, but it’s a good question and I’ll be interested to see if anyone knows with any great degree of certainty

    ditch_jockey – I suppose that to some extent sneaking in and making a mess of labia overnight is already an RAF speciality

    😉

    Judging by the state of the local roads, I suspect Salford City Council are paying for ours and Denmark’s bombs and petrol.

    If they were bombing Labia, wouldn’t this be a middle east cunflict?

    From the DM article;

    This defence was supported by his girlfriend, who told the court that he had fondled her in bed while asleep.

    I didn’t realise that was a “condition”.

    It doesn’t have to be a condition – it’s an automatism argument, not a lack of criminal responsibility argument: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatism_(law)

    well a bit of googling tells me each tomahawk cruise missle costs between $600k and 1.2 million a pop

    not sure hwo many weve fired so far but im guessing that means another 50 000 council workers need to be sacked

    “They’re effective, they’re reliable, they’re safe. And they don’t normally miss,” retired US general Wesley Clark, a former NATO military commander, told CNN.

    Safe? Rather depends on whether you are giving or receiving.

    Don’t normally miss! Awesome.

    Zulu-Eleven – have you been waiting 3.5 years to use that story or did you drag it up for another reason that I can’t quite fathom?

    Well if we’re all linking to stories, this one is much more amusing.
