Lt Col Rupert Thorneloe, 40, the commanding officer of the Welsh Guards, died after his Viking armoured vehicle was blown up by a substantial roadside bomb that killed another British soldier and wounded six others.This is the eighth fatal incident involving a Viking. The Ministry of Defeat has been warned since the introduction of the Viking to Afghanistan that it will result in body bags being filled. Call me a cynic, but what's the bet that now Terry has zapped a "Rupert" they will start taking those warnings seriously?

Don't bet on it, bailing the banks out is more important to Broon. When 5 previous army chiefs of staff slated him for underspending on the military whilst he was the chancellor of a government fighting two major wars, you see where his sympathies lie.
