No I didn’t. It isn't a requirement nor is it an impediment.

There is nothing saying you can't join a political party plus you can attend political meetings just as long as you aren't representing the Army.....as in wearing a uniform. I’m not going to read 300 odd pages Stirling and neither of us are military lawyers. Im pretty sure being a member of a political party and taking an active part the affairs of a political party could be argued to be the same thing.

OI . . . I resemble that remark. Is it true that the preferred method of separating the men from the boys in the navy is with a crowbar?

In the 'olden' days it was only for the 'snotties; finding the 'Golden Rivet', in the Modern Navy, there's ample supply of your favourite, Boy Butter! Crowbars, how sooo y/day
This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise. |

From what I see that is the Act that sets out all sorts for Reservists, So Territorial Army RAF, Navy, Marine VTR. It is not a copy of Queens Regs. The Forces and all branches of public service do not bar party membership, nor do they bar local activity - say helping campaign for a local election. It is national politics where the bar sits.Add to that the far more subjective test - things that might bring the forces into disrepute. A far more political catch all....

All? The majority maybe but never all we had atrocities perpetrated by Lybians and Iranians to name but a few. The Russians during the cold war carried out actions that also allegedly led to a loss of life. The Irish issue was always going to be at the forefront of people's minds as they stage managed huge actions and lived so very close to home. Do you accept my point or not? Would you have been happier if I'd had said 'almost all'? I mean. Disturbing your sense of absolute accuracy on a discussion thread is a major concern to me.

Do I accept your point? Depends. I also think that the Irish question is far more com0lex to warrant a yes or no answer as it was one where you would need to clarify what you meant as There were factions both big and little fighting on both sides of the cause. Some wanting separatism some seeking unity. I would agree the Irish question probably more than any other materially affected people's lives in the UK and Northern Island.

I'm simply saying that inevitably, Muslims are treated with suspicion and resentment because of the actions of some of their number just like the Irish were. I wasn't getting into the complexities of the Irish troubles.

The Irish are not creating parallel societies in the UK. The Irish are not demanding their civil disputes be settled via a separate legal process. The Irish are culturally similar to the British. The Irish percent who were terrorists.....whatever we think of the agreement that was reached and the long term price it has.....they could be negotiated with. These are faulty comparisons.

It is easy to forget the NI situation before the Good Friday agreement. Like it or not NI has been stable - their people are much more prosperous, really we don't want to take any risks at all here.
