Plan to cut Basra troops by 2,000

I see Mr Brown's tame poodle, Nick Robinson has been given the nod by him to release news that he is considering cutting the number of British Troops in Southern Iraq by 2000 just in time for the 10 o'clock news tonight.

Apparently the BBC reveals that a final decision has not been made yet, though it may be part of an announcement on Iraq expected to MP's next week.

Amazing this news should come out today while the Tory Conference is ongoing, particularly as some good reviews of speeches today have caught the government off-guard.

This sort of leaking of information on Troop Movements and Strengths would have been considered as Treason in many times of war. It is certainly not democracy in action.
