It's about time someone grew a pair and stood up to these scumf**ks.


This planet needs to eradicated of these extremist psychopaths.


Fed up hearing these hemp wearing flag burners banging on about human rights pish. When you behave like an animal, you waiver your human rights as far as I'm concerned. Maybe if the hippies were getting shot at or set on fire they also would like to see ISIS being wiped out.

Haha actually lol'd at these comments. ..

Radio 2 was discussing this the other day and they was talking about it been said to ban all media reporting on terrorist action ..
It obviously wouldn't be an easy process, but was done back in the IRA/Thatcher days  ... Things these days wouldn't be quite so simple but it could work ...
Think it would actually make any difference though? ? I myself doubt it very much !!

You should read up a little on Wahhabism Lew.   

Our good friends the Saudi's are spreading this ideology around the globe.

So in other words when we do business with Saudi Arabia we are doing business with the people who fund The Taliban, ISIS etc etc.

Then we send our soldiers off to fight and die fighting those we have created or funded.

That's a bit like saying America funded the IRA. Its probably true that some funding came from within America.

At the end of that article you will find this.

In a number of articles in June we made reference to funding for the terrorist organisation Isis having been channelled to the group from Saudi Arabia. The Saudi Embassy has asked us to make clear that the position of the Saudi Arabian government is unequivocal condemnation of the actions of Isis and its members and that the Kingdom has taken positive action to discourage any private funding or support for Isis or other extremists by Saudi citizens for ISIS.  Since March 2014 the Saudi government has blacklisted religious extremist groups in the Kingdom, criminalising affiliation to, or participation in the activities of, organisations such as Isis. (Statement added 23/9/14)

Now whether you believe that is another matter. Have they prosecuted anyone?


ps No sanctions against Saudi Arabia. If they were totally behind IS do you think everyone would still trade with them?

So copied and pasted an article from the Independent. I did not read anything in that article that said the UK is funding ISIS.

VNA, you said maybe the UK should review it's funding of ISIS.
So we trade with Saudi Arabia, we also trade with North Korea, Russia and every other fecker. Sadly it is how the world of business works, I may not like you but I have to trade with you sad but true.

If you are saying that by trading with the Saudi's we are assisting Saudi funding of ISIS then I suppose we are along with every other nation that buys oil from Saudi, so do not just point the finger at the UK and say it is all our fault.

Perfectly okay for Christian Kings to go and massacre Muslims in far off countries during the middle ages and call it a crusade. Or to denounce pagan god, spread rumours about voodoo or depose indigenous people in other places. When will we learn that everyone is as bad as each other, it's just a matter of the historical time line.

I agree that their crimes are abhorrent,  but an eye for an eye simply doesn't work. Nothing seems to, it only makes their resolve stronger. All that will happen is that IS will say they died for the cause and dub them martyrs.

One word Phil - No.

I would ask you this, seeing as Isis have millions, many many millions, well they are cash rich, you might want to consider where that money is coming from.  A simple google search will give you some clues.  They are seriously well funded.    And I think you will find that it is our allies that fund ISIS.

ISIS are doing the running here, and they have plenty of funding.  Totally agree risticuss.

Jordan needed to ask - what does ISIS want us to do - how do they wish us to react.  I would suggest that Jordan reacted and acted exactly as ISIS wished them to.

I feel a Godwin's law moment may almost be upon us.  But fazed I think that was attempted, failed and 5 million Jews were exterminated along with disable folks, Roma, gays and others, not to mention a word war.

Lew,

I don't think you will find many journalists with a better understanding of the Middle East than Robert Fisk.  Patrick Cockburn (who also writes for the Indy) is another.  To my surprise newsnight last night had Patrick on to discuss ISIS.

I assume you do realise that these ISIS guys will quite happily chop your head off for absolutly no reason at all. They are not playing with a full deck.
Heaven forbid if they actually comit an atrocity in Israel, Jordan has responded and acted basically you do 1 of ours we will do 2 of yours. If they hit the Israel hard stand by for Gulf war 3 because the Israelis will not fanny about.

The UK government is well aware of how ISIS is funded.

It was not that long ago that David Cameron was meeting with Sheikh Tamin bin Hamad al-Thani, The Emir of Qatar to - it is reported - beg him to stop funding ISIS.

Follow the money Lew and you will find the funders.  They are pretty much all allies of ours.

I was thinking much the same.  If you give money to someone who claims to be penniless and they then go and spend that money on booze and fags, is it your fault?  If a country gives money to another country and they then give some of it to support a terrorist group, is that your fault?  If the recipient had been open about where some of the money was going to go maybe you wouldn't have given it but you yourself can't be accused of supporting the terrorist group.

There is only one language they understand.  You can't negotiate and quote the Geneva Convention with an organisation that kidnaps a journalist, asks for 200 million dollars ransom and then publicly executes that journalist, and post video of it on the internet, because the ransom isn't paid.  Same goes for burning alive what is effectively a prisoner of war, it isn't warfare, it's barbarism.  Fuck the rules of warfare, give as good as they give.

So, vna, what would you suggest?

Usually I'm reasonably up to date on these things.

Just now I'm looking at my 5th week off sick with stress.  Got two parents with dementia, who have stubbornly refused help and as I knew would eventually happen - well the wheels have fallen off.  So since December my life has been pretty hellish to say the least.  Add in an incompetent solicitor, a until now silent sibling butting in, a crap POA document, both parents going down one after the other with a virus..... and well I could go on and on. 

So I'm behind the curve on this.

But I would say we are paying the price of arrogant and incompetent foreign policy spanning the last 60 years or so.

What we do have is huge influence over Saudi, Qatar, Kuwait and the other Wahhabist Sunni states.  We need to stop them and their buddies funding ISIS.  Follow the money that is what is happening. 

We also have to deal with the biggest evil first - ISIS.  We are correct about one thing - they are out of control. We made a mistake in not backing Assad, and a big mistake in supporting the ISIS influenced rebels that opposed him.  We need to open diplomatic channels with Iran (we can see that happening already).  We need to start talking to Putin.  Putin rightly backed Assad along with their ally Iran.

Israel.  It's about time we exercised our influence over Israel.  This seems impossible as the USA seems incapable of standing up to Israel.  But we have a moral obligation to limited our trade with Israel.  It's about time we refused to sell or maintain any Israeli military equipment for a start.  We can influence them without the USA, as the USA is Israel's only steadfast ally.

But sorry I haven't read a newspaper in about two months.  I'm way behind the curve now.

If you do want to understand what is happening you could do a lot worse than reading Robert Fisk's and Patrick Cockburn's reports (or books) - they are two of the foremost journalistic experts in the world on these matters.

Slating the mighty USA.......oh nasty nasty USA.........lets attack those idiots.........not so idiotic that they're doing so well though & supporting the UK & providing us with our big dicked sense of security in this world that we really have almost zero clout in.


As far as i can see the US wears its heart on its sleeve and we used to before we started being a bunch o fannies that think we're free like a butterfly.

How is it a fail VNA , why did you think the IRA came to the table?? The security forces in N Ireland eventually took the gloves off. In what way you may ask?? they started leaking information to the other bunch of arseholes and the result of that was that quite a few of the IRA top boys got whacked , and that is not something I just made up.

Last year at work we had a project that involved pairing up office workers with engineers so we could give them an insight into what life was like in the real world.  One day I got paired up with a guy who was well known as a God botherer of some description and I was warned that he might try to convert me.  The whole day passed with no mention at all until he turned round to me, out of the blue, and asked, "Are you religious?".  I told him I wasn't, had no interest in becoming religious and couldn't understand why anyone allowed themselves to be brainwashed into believing everything they are told without being able to prove it.  He then started to try to explain it so I stopped him and said, "Let's just suppose that I have an invisible monkey that sits on my shoulder, watches everything I do and whispers in my ear telling me what decisions I should make and how I should live my life.  He's completely invisible, only I can see or hear him and nobody else can.  You'd probably think I was a nutter right?  Now you tell me what the difference is between my invisible monkey and your God?"  He never said a word and religion wasn't mentioned to anyone for the whole month of the project.

Last year at work we had a project that involved pairing up office workers with engineers so we could give them an insight into what life was like in the real world.  One day I got paired up with a guy who was well known as a God botherer of some description and I was warned that he might try to convert me.  The whole day passed with no mention at all until he turned round to me, out of the blue, and asked, "Are you religious?".  I told him I wasn't, had no interest in becoming religious and couldn't understand why anyone allowed themselves to be brainwashed into believing everything they are told without being able to prove it.  He then started to try to explain it so I stopped him and said, "Let's just suppose that I have an invisible monkey that sits on my shoulder, watches everything I do and whispers in my ear telling me what decisions I should make and how I should live my life.  He's completely invisible, only I can see or hear him and nobody else can.  You'd probably think I was a nutter right?  Now you tell me what the difference is between my invisible monkey and your God?"  He never said a word and religion wasn't mentioned to anyone for the whole month of the project.

Brilliant.......although I have used something like that in the past.......kids get rows off their mums n dads for having imaginary friends..... :lol

So, vna, what would you suggest?

Usually I'm reasonably up to date on these things.

Just now I'm looking at my 5th week off sick with stress.  Got two parents with dementia, who have stubbornly refused help and as I knew would eventually happen - well the wheels have fallen off.  So since December my life has been pretty hellish to say the least.  Add in an incompetent solicitor, a until now silent sibling butting in, a crap POA document, both parents going down one after the other with a virus..... and well I could go on and on. 

So I'm behind the curve on this.

But I would say we are paying the price of arrogant and incompetent foreign policy spanning the last 60 years or so.

What we do have is huge influence over Saudi, Qatar, Kuwait and the other Wahhabist Sunni states.  We need to stop them and their buddies funding ISIS.  Follow the money that is what is happening. 

We also have to deal with the biggest evil first - ISIS.  We are correct about one thing - they are out of control. We made a mistake in not backing Assad, and a big mistake in supporting the ISIS influenced rebels that opposed him.  We need to open diplomatic channels with Iran (we can see that happening already).  We need to start talking to Putin.  Putin rightly backed Assad along with their ally Iran.

Israel.  It's about time we exercised our influence over Israel.  This seems impossible as the USA seems incapable of standing up to Israel.  But we have a moral obligation to limited our trade with Israel.  It's about time we refused to sell or maintain any Israeli military equipment for a start.  We can influence them without the USA, as the USA is Israel's only steadfast ally.

But sorry I haven't read a newspaper in about two months.  I'm way behind the curve now.

If you do want to understand what is happening you could do a lot worse than reading Robert Fisk's and Patrick Cockburn's reports (or books) - they are two of the foremost journalistic experts in the world on these matters.


I don't dare challenge the focers here, but this post is 100% true.


While ordinary western citizen feels no responsibility (rightly too) for what is going in Middle East, it would be disingenuous to think it has nothing with to do with the Governments and industries they supported and were benefiting from. It is NOT wrong to act in self interest - which is what most people do anyway, so Governments are just reflection of this - how it does not mean you can wash your hands off this and say "oh look at those crazies, why are they like that"!!

Certainly not the player he was last season, him or Mirrelless. Even though I am a red I always like to see the blue half doing well. Thought they were going to sneak a point last night, did not deserve one but thought they defended well
