About Me
- Paul
- I am an English guy in my thirties. I have served in the Army, after that I went to university. Upon graduation I went to work in the Middle East and since then have worked and traveled across that region. My home is now in Lancashire and I undertake work on a range of matters to do with travel and business setup in difficult regions. My reason for starting this blog is to engage in dialogue with people whom I respect but strongly disagree with on issues. Plus they should then be less likely to accuse me of trolling! I am a libertarian by nature my politics are centre-right and my preferred governmental model would probably be the one espoused by the USA.

The middle class start these wars, the children of the working class go off to fight them. (Assisted by the grandson of the Queen.) Where did Euan Blair go? To Afghanistan? No off to Washington as an intern. Lots of drugs and drinks and one assumes sex too. Not for him the luxuries of a PB. No danger of him loosing a limb. He will never have to pick up parts of his friends strewn across the landscape after an IED. As the Americans say "Rich man's war, poor man's fight."
I disagree with most of that Steve as I don't really perceive there to be such rigid class structures these days. But thanks for dropping by.
