Gordon Brown's Armed Forces Minister has been accused of treating troops with contempt after he dismissed complaints about life-threatening kit shortages as "absolute bollocks".
Bob Ainsworth made the obscene remark during a Commons debate about the problems facing soldiers serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Last Thursday's edition of Hansard, the official record of Parliamentary proceedings, records in column 608 how he aggressively interrupted a Tory speaker.
Mr Ainsworth is the first MP to have used the word in the main chamber, according to Hansard's verbatim records, which go back more than 200 years.
The extraordinary incident took place during a speech on Thursday by Tory MP John Baron, who warned that Army top brass were concerned that soldiers were spending too much time on active service.
The MP for Billericay then added: "Troops returning from theatre tell of life-threatening shortages of kit, including body armour, satellite phones, oil to prevent guns jamming and electronic equipment to detect roadside bombs."
At this point, Hansard records that Mr Ainsworth, a former sheet metal worker, made his obscene interjection.
A shocked Tory MP, Tony Baldry, picked up on the comment, asking: "Is that a parliamentary phrase?"
**Well maybe Mr "absolute bollocks" Ainsworth, should speak to members of the armed forces who routinely shell out their money for decent kit. Like a have said many many times before when you have a Labour MP, you have a left armed forces hating cunt in the house of commons. Irony is that they are quite happy to start wars, lie over dossiers and yet hate the people who have to clear up their mess...
Mr Ainsworth coined in £128,564 in expenses for the year 2006/07 on top of his wages, now that is money that would be better spent on kit saving some soldiers lifes in the field.
Bob Ainsworth also voted for the ID cards bill, which in my book also makes him an authoritarian cunt as well.
Oh and Bob also voted for this attempt to cover up the dubious goings on of our MP's.

Mr Ainsworth is a total prick! There have been countless stories in the media of soldiers dying after giving up body armour to others, as there was not enough for everyone. Or soldiers just not getting it to begin with.
I am willing to bet that they make sure that the house of commons bar does not run out of booze.
Should the commons bar ever run out of beer it will be the biggest crisis to ever hit the gin swilling New Labour cunts.
