Most muslims in England support their brothers and sisters, dogs and cats in those nations.
I think you’ll find that muslims consider dogs as ‘unclean’ and tend not to keep them as pets.
Hizbollah is claimed to be virtually an Iranian ‘foreign legion’, composed of shia muslims.
Hamas, in the coccupied Palestinian territories, is aligned with Al…[Read more] -

I think there are too many countries that simply don’t wish to get involved for WW3 to be imminent. But over the longer term – say 5-10 years, who knows?

If George Dubya and Tony Blair weren’t running under the Christian banner, I’d be more than happy with a full-scale war on Muslem fundamentalists.

I’m not really a socialist, but I could adapt! As natural resources diminish and the energy gap grows, the demand-led economy will inevitably give way to a supply-led economy.
I’m not really talking about a political party like in the USSR etc so much as a social movement that does the job of a modern religion without resorting to fairy tales,…[Read more]

I’ve been looking at websites of various British fringe political parties ranging from far-left to far-right. Together with the big parties, nobody seems to be offereing a proper philosophy on how to deal with the threats that face us.
The far left have got into bed with islamic fundamentalists and focus their hatred on Bush, Blair and Israel…[Read more]

People warned Israel and the USA that if they didn’t support the moderates in Fatah then the hardliners would take over. Did they listen? No. People are now warning Israel and America that if they don’t support the moderate regime in Beirut then the government will collapse and the hardliners will take over. Are they listening now? No.

Most of the badgers we see round here are roadkill, or possibly “roadkill” thrown out of vehicles by illegal badger baters to launder the evidence.
Badgers themselves are not very nice animals – vicious biters. Some people have tamed them as pets though.

Israel needs to sit down with the arabs and hammer out a comprehensive deal to resolve all outstanding issues and finally bring about an end to this conflict. There is no alternative to a negotiated settlement. There is no military solution to this conflict.
I don’t think Hamas, Hizbullah, Al Qaeda or Mahmoud Ahmadinejad would even consider…[Read more]

So was Britain’s declaration of war on Germany in 1939 a war crime? Did Londoners blame Chamberlain and then Churchill for the German bombs that rained down on their city?

We might be horrified at what Israel is doing but we shouldn’t lose sight of what they are fighting – an extremist genocidal organisation, Hizbullah (virtually the Iranian foreign legion) that has an agenda going far beyond righting the wrongs that Israel might have done over the years. Remember what Iran’s president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said…[Read more]

Now they’re talikng about setting up an EU peacekeeping force for the Israel / Hizbullah conflict.
I’m all for peace but an EU force would be seen as ‘enemy’ by Hizbullah and would be forced to side with Israel.

Measles nearly did for me when I was 3. It’s usually complications that make measles serious – in my case pneumonia.
I made a full recoverey but I wanted to add my hay’p’nyworth to emphasise that measles can be a serious, even fatal illness.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Cowboy George has had some very stern words to whisper in the ear of Israel’s prime minister. But to say anything in public would play into the hands of the other party in the dispute, who are not exactly a nice lot!

I think Blair got caught out because in the lead up to the Iraq invasion, UN approval came very close at one stage and an international coalition was being put together. Blair was going round to chivvy support. So when the UN approval failed and several key countries dropped out Blair was left with nowhere to go – he’d nailed his colours to the…[Read more]

Has anyone ever noticed how the Jews all have big noses? Where did that come about? We all know the English have always had big heads, but is this just the evolutionary process?

well Israel won’t attack them and no-one else in that region has the capability so sleep easy and don’t worry about it.
I agree they won’t make an unprovoked attack, but if they ordered the British navy to keep out and the Navy disobeyed, I could see Israel, in its current heightened state, taking steps of ‘enforcement’.

I don’t want to see anyone wiped out but if it came to that, I’d rather see Iran wiped out than Israel! I don’t mean the innocent civilians but their regimes and the sponsors of death they control.
