I worked alongside a Pakistani on the day of the London bombings, when it was broadcast on the radio I made a comment about how the UK police and anti terror squad will probably over react, arresting innocent people, knocking down doors in the middle of the night, scaring families and causing more resentment. I wasn't wrong, I was living in Leicester at the time, many people were taken in such a manner, none of which proved to have links to any terrorist organisations.

Once I'd got off my soap box my friend said quietly 'In my town in Pakistan, this happens virtually daily, such a common occurrence it hardly makes the news papers any more, other than the obituaries'

Many Pakistani worked at this company and at the end of the conversation he leaned in and whispered ' be careful Mel. there are terrorists everywhere'

I sometimes wonder what Butt new


Complete fabrication, I didn't make it up!

im not too fussed about the civilian casualties either to be brutally honest.....at the end of the day we bombed whole cities during the 2nd world war.....a life under isis rule isnt really a life in my book and it would put allot o folk out of their misery before isis start raping them and torturing them as if they are on some kind of sick version of crystal maze.


I believe life in England with lots of rain is not much of a life. Here, let me put you out of your misery. And your children too.


How about that?  :)

Think that comment is more appropriate for Scotland and Northern Ireland, where the weather is positively shit at all times.

NOW you tell me?! 


Hmm... should I call of the nuke attack, or mark England as "collateral damage" and get on with it...




It's not even funny, more sad, but noggys post about civilian casualties pissed me off, really.

I think rain is slightly less justifiable than rape & torture somehow..........the rain is good for one of thing though...........keeps the unsavouries indoors......even bad guys dont like being cold & wet........fair weather baddies 8)

nd the politics of the prime minister are not my concern...i didnt vote for him....i have no like for him or his party....but i trust that the majority of my fine kingdom did & i stand by their decision......i just hope that they se sense next time round.

But the vast majority of my fine kingdom voted against this bombing campaign.  97% against, but despite that we are being dragged into this against our will by Westminster.

And the no.1 reason for Labour's demise in Scotland - the Iraq war.

And once more, let us not forget that it was our actions in Iraq that lead to the birth of ISIS.

So hey, what to do, why not try what has never worked before - gotta work sometime ain't it?

Was this the result of a mortar/bomb attack on the innocent in Sarajevo, or Belfast, or New York, London , or Warrington, the West Bank. Or any other city were terrorists and or Governments from around the world have deployed armies etc! sadly it is always children and people who have nothing to do with politics or religion.
Or is it the result that some so called caring religion who have used this child as a mule to walk up to a security checkpoint and pull the pin.

It's justifiable when the child is probably going to grow up to be a terrorist anyway. Fuck'em! Men, women, children, they can all die for all I care.

I'd suggest it might be an idea to lock griff86 up and throw away the key.

And you certainly wouldn't want him near any children :eek

Well feck me VNA we agree on something, Slaninar may have a point, but use the Nutron bomb, is that the mother that just depletes the O2 levels but leaves the infra structure in place, just think in one foul swoop the middle east would become a peaceful place and then we can all have even cheaper oil, all those in favour say aye!!!!
