Splinter groups meh it's been tried before. Anyone remember the SDP? The gang of four, never amounted to much and they where much higher profile politicians than the Blairite goons of today.

It's all academic now, she'll be let back in fairly soon.
I expect we'll see her on Good Morning Britain talking to Peers Morgan six months down the line.

Good idea - what about an island somewhere -------Skytanamobay.  Instead of orange boiler suites we can make them wear kilts, feed them haggis - halal of course (which it probably already is) and have them woken up at the crack o doon by bagpipes.Problem solved as there is no jihadi that would want to come back and face that. 

don't forget the bacon sandwiches


I'm liking the sound of this place Gents, I'd definitely book a fortnight there with the family during Glasgow Fair (2nd 2 weeks in July).

Cheers for all the replies gents, good articles Grahamm, you live and learn. I'm going to take on board all of the comments and suggestions as I'm purchasing some new riding gear this spring. :)

I guess one thing to remember is that Shamina  was being questioned and making the statements she did whilst still under the watchful eye of the Jihads.
I think if she had said that she now realises her mistakes and that the jihads are wrong and that she now condemns them for their actions and is now remorseful for her own actions, I think she would not have seen the night out in one piece, she was answering the questions in a manner that gave her and her children born or unborn the greatest chance of survival.
Seems to me she is doomed whatever she said, I know that she made her choices and that no one forced her initially to make those choices, but she was only a 15 year old kid.
And no I don't really know what to think, all I do know is that there are innocent children in the equation, possibly the age of some of our Grandchildren.     

That's a very good point, she was no doubt acting on survival instincts for herself and the child. However, even with the passage of time I very much doubt if she will ever be accepted as British.
Reminds me of an old joke, or put another way, she's made her bed now she's got to lie in it.

An old man walks into a pub, feet shuffling, back bent. He drags himself onto a stool and orders a beer. Putting the glass in front of him, the barman inquires about his sad face. The man answers with a sad and broken voice: “Do you see those boats, out there in the harbour? Those fishing boats on which the prosperity of this town is founded? I built those, with my own two hands. But do they call me Jones the boat builder? No. No they do not. Do you see the the wall over there, that protects our town? I built it, with my own two hands. But do they call me Jones the wall builder? No. No they do not. And the bridge, you know, that crosses the river? I built it, with my own hands! But do they call me the Bridge-maker? And the mill, that grinds our wheat, the mill I built? Do they call me the mill builder? No. No they do not.
But you shag one sheep……..”

I am fully convinced this "Great" Britain of ours is full of nothing but ultra P.C. cut-outs!  And the usual hide behind the keyboard pathetic warriors!  As a previous resident of a little known town just north of the border called Lockerbie, before, during and after the air disaster I can assure anyone who has not witnessed such an act, or similar, has absolutely no idea of the ramifications of such a heinous terrorist act!!!!!!!

 
Decoke, you have heard of Iran Air Flight 655 I take it.  Shot down by the USS Vincennes.  290 passengers died.  Three months and 20 days after they shot down that commercial airliner the crew of the Vincennes returned home to a hero’s welcome.

Flight 655 was brought down on 3rd July 1988.   Pan Am Flight 103 fell out of the sky on 21st December 1988, not that I need to remind you of that date.
 

OK but two wrongs don't make a right, tit for tat doesn't solve anything.

OK People make mistakes, countries make mistakes- Shamima made a big mistake. I can accept that she was radicalised and I can also accept that as a young mother she should be given a second chance.
It would be both the British and the christian thing to do- give everyone a second chance, turn the other cheek. I fully expected her to be allowed back into the country and maybe even be a force for good, educating young people on the dangers of radicalisation and all that.

Then I heard her speak.

Spot on Sajid Javid, you made the right choice. A British Muslim prepared to speak out against antisemitism among other things, a man of integrity, even if I don't agree with your politics.

Well having commuted through the winter's cold wet dark mornings and evenings without incident, it now seems like it's silly season once again on the daily commute.

2 incidents last week and one today, without going into details, has anyone else experienced the situation where cagers are 'looking' at you but not 'seeing' you?


Maybe i'm getting too old or something, If anyone has any top tips or can recommend a decent hi viz vest it's much appreciated.  :(


Keep safe out there lads.

Has anyone tried Avon tyres on the 600 yet?
Maybe we should all be buying British products once we crash out of the EU next month!   :smash

It's very much down to your own preference fella. I'm a Bridgestone fan, been buying their tyres for years. You're probably best looking for a 'sports touring' tyre rather than all out sports rubber- it'll suit your style of riding and hopefully last you a bit longer.
