Fat guys tend to be more likely to drive big 4x4s – especially double-cab pick-up 4×4’s. That’s just something I’ve noticed in our part of the world. So they probably have a bigger carbon footprint!!!!
3 July, 2007 at 12:27 pm #274642I wonder if there is a clever, but evil logic behind Al Qaeda or whoever using doctors as suicide attackers.
We are seen as a tolerant nation generally and islamic extremists are generally described as a small minority. But stirring up Islamophobia among us ‘infidels’ could be made to play into the hands of the terrorists. By using doctors as terrorists it’s implying that any muslim might be a terrorist. If that increses islamophobia it will drive muslims further into the hands of the growing Wahabbi totalitarian empire as they become less trusted by the majority non-muslim pupulation.
Given what seems to be emerging about terrorist doctors, if I was in a position of power I’d be getting as much info as possible about the danger of the existance of airline pilots who are in Al Qaeda sleeper cells. It’s one thing to have a hijacked airliner but if the pilots themslves are suicide attackers there would be no warning until it’s too late. If doctors, then pilots seem a real possibility.
However the terrorists need an infrastructure too in order to be able to move about in the course of carrying out their evil and so I would imagine certain transport routes and hubs are considered be ‘safe zones’ since if they were destroyed or put under greater restriction it would make it more difficult for future operations.

One terrorist is now in hospital in critical condition with serious burns. Given that suicide attacks are an odious fact of life these days, perhaps this is the most appropriate outcome -attackers seriously injured but left alive to suffer, whilst no innocent public are hurt.
30 June, 2007 at 6:50 pm #274605We have an element because we (a very powerful christain country) invaded a weak Muslim country and we are still there, slowly assisting in the death of a nation- it isnt rocket science to see why fruitcakes pick on us
Rubbish! Anything we do is twisted by the islamsists to justify spreading hatred of tne West. Before the Iraq war they were saying the West was keeping Saddam in power while starving Iraq’s people through sanctions.
We have to realise that we are up against a ‘total enemy’ whose defeat is the no. 1 priority if we want to save our civiliastion.
We are not a powerful country anyway, and not really a Christian one either.
Even if we are not a powerful country, a powerful message would be given if convicted ‘failed’ suicide bombers were dealt with under mental health laws and sent to Broadmoor or Rampton for life instead of normal prisons.
29 June, 2007 at 12:19 pm #274400We have always had isolated cases of perverse decisions by dotty judges. Hopefully people who feel aggrieved will be able to follow procedures that can get the decisions reversed.
I remember reading about a perverse decision the other way some years ago, where a young man had originally been sentenced by a mad judge to prison ‘at her majesty’s pleasure’ – in other words indefinetly, for setting fire to some curtains in a church, and at the time of reporting had been inside for 22 years.
22 June, 2007 at 10:18 pm #270198I think Brown is going to soon be seen as a caretaker PM, he’s already damaged by the Ashdown affair. However he’s the only PM on the menu, as it were, so I hope he does well.
Why do we want to see PMs who are failures just so they lose the next election that might be years away? Surely it’s best to hope that whoever is in power does a good job and that the other lot get in next time because they offer an EVEN better alternative!!!22 June, 2007 at 10:11 pm #274031Not only has the Qatar royal family bought 25% of Sainsbury’s, but it’s reported they might be wanting to gain ownership. I remained a loyal Sainsbury’s customer, even after a nice new Asda store has opened closer to my home, since Sainsb’s is British owned while Asda is foreign (American) owned. If Sainsbury’s falls victim to the advancing front or the global caliphate, I will defect to Asda.
However, presumably the Qatari royal family is on ‘west-tolerant’ side of the islamic world.
22 June, 2007 at 9:52 pm #273530It seems odd top me, as a British person, that Americans are allowed to carry guns (in Britain handguns are totally illegal for ordinary citizens) and yet someAmericans can be banned from wearing certain fashions or from gambling on-line.
I would be the first to admit that Britain. too, has some wierdnesses. For instance we call ourselves a democracy and yet we STILL have an unelected upper house of parliament and we STILL have a hereditary monarchy.
21 June, 2007 at 8:07 pm #274230Should smokers and alcoholics or people who have ignored previous medical advice be denied treatment? What about anorexics or very obese people? Or, with road accidents, should blame be established before the paramedics decide who to help first? What about sports injuries – especially from boxing – should the NHS pay for treatment of those?
21 June, 2007 at 8:02 pm #274068We only discovered how many unwilling ‘communists’ there were in Eastern Europe after the fall of the the Iron Curtain regimes. We only discovered how unpopular Saddam Hussein was after he was overthrown (although the aftermath has been terrible).
So it is reasonable to assume that there must be quite a proportion of ‘unwilling’ muslims in places like Saudi Arabia, Iran, Pakistan….. even in muslim communities in Britain probably. This is possibly the soft underbelly of the emerging global caliphate. Why else would it be building this invisible Berlin Wall of threats around its subjects?
