Good for him.
He's a decent fellow --even for a Labour Party Leader.
Merry Christmas UK Troops.
Faithfully under the patronage of the fallen yet rather amiable Octavian.
Smile! The better the energy you put in, the better the energy you will get out.

Well, as much as I hate the guy, I'm glad he's gone out there again, the troops need to know that the government hasn't forgotten about them- something that happens all too often in such operations.
