It has just been announced that the Black Watch are to be sent back to Iraq for a third-time.

No other regiment, we still refuse to acknowledge the so-called Royal Regiment of Scotland, which was born out of lies and deceit and created by spineless politicians such as Adam Ingram and Gordon Brown to save money, has had to endure such an arduous task on three occasions.

Yet whilst Labour are busy sending more and more troops into foreign wars they are busy cutting troop numbers and defence spending and undermining the moral of Scottish soldiers by disbanding the regiments of these proud men.

Not one member of Tony Blair's cabinet has ever served with any of the armed forces.  Adam Ingram and Des Browne are more likely to have seen inside a ministerial car than an armoured vehicle.

This is a government with no shame and no morals - sleazy to the core and willing to lie to the media and public alike to cover their actions.
