LEST THEY FORGET, HONOURING OUR WAR DEAD DEMANDS SOBER REFLECTION

-

LABOUR AND the SNP never miss a chance to trash the Tories yet this week three idiot MPs – two SNP blokes and Labour’s Charlotte Nichols – were “very drunk” on a flight to Gibraltar for a Remembranc­e Day Service, say Army top brass who were with them on the plane.

According to their testimony the three were necking it in the airport lounge in London and then continued to knock it back on the plane and were reportedly “lairy” and “rude”. Nichols, MP forWarring­ton North, was allegedly so hammered she needed a wheelchair to be taken off the plane and couldn’t attend the welcome party on arrival in Gibraltar.

SNP oiks, David Linden and Drew Hendry were, it’s claimed,“obnoxious” to officials at Gibraltar airport after refusing to take a Covid swab and taunting staff saying: “We’ll get you into trouble for this.” These clowns were in Gibraltar to pay the Government’s respects to our war dead for God’s sake. And THIS is how they behave.

But Nicola Sturgeon and Linden have had the audacity to suggest this is all nonsense cooked up to distract from Tory sleaze.

In effect they’re saying the testimony provided by a well-respected Lieutenant Colonel and a Major is made up which isn’t just questionin­g their integrity but that of the Army as well.

Nichols, who admitted she’d no idea how much she’d drunk but thought it was less than five, wailed “it’s me meds”.

She claims they affected her tolerance of alcohol. So if she was on drugs, which gave her a low tolerance of alcohol – don’t bloody drink!

How dare these idiots treat a Remembranc­e Day event like it’s a jolly. They didn’t just disrespect Parliament and the Armed Forces, they disrespect­ed our war dead as well – which is unforgivab­le!
