As a parent I would say that these rules are a good idea. I can see problems with booster seats where, say, an 11 year old boy under 4ft 5in has to use a booster cushion while his taller friend of the same age can sit next to him without one.
I think minimum ages for cycling on public roads should be introduced. Perhaps 6 for a child accompanied by a parent and 10 for unaccompanied. Also children should have to wear cycle helmets.
We should have faced up to them after the Fatwah on Salman Rushdie.
Before that, even. The world should have intervened to prevent the Ayatollah Khomeni’s lot gaining power in Iran in 1979. It could have been done then but we can’t turn the clock back. Come to think of it, that’s exactly what Khomeni did do!
Sorry, a typographical error! I know Saddam had ambitions to take over part of Iran but…
More a case of minding n’s and q’s than p’s and q’s. If Iraq splits up, like some now forecast, bags name one of the bits Irap!
Blair’s speech was visionary and I agree with his view that so many people are blind to the reality of the situation and are in denial of the threats that exist against us. Even 7/7 didn’t pull everybody’s heads out of the sand, so it seems.
People ‘buy half way’, as he said, into the fact that we brought about the bad things that are going on now but I think it all goes back to Ayatollah Khomeni and the Iranian revolution of 1979. Why? Because that demonstrated the power of radical islam. Wahabbi Sunnis realised that what their rival Shias could do in Iran, the much more numerous Sunnis could do worldwide. That’s what’s led to the likes of of Al Qaeda.
Bush: “axis of evil”
Blair: “arc of extremism”Afghanistan (under Taliban), Iran (under Saddam Hussein), Iraq, Syria – What would you call it? A chain of cuddly fluffy bunnies?
On another discussion site I’m being called a fascist by an extreme lefty. Here I’m a liberal traitor.
So……I most be a moderate, staaaynds to weeezon, dunnit!
I can still sense that liberal waiting to burst out! Stand back everybody!!! I can already hear the sound of colours being ripped from masts.
Liberal ba stards.
Communists liberal???? Liberals were in love with a false image of communism that bore no relation to the real thing. And now they’re in love with a false image of radical islam.
Except me, of course, I’m a liberal with no illusions. :?
Good question, at least there was some sembleance of order in the cold war. I’d prefer the geographical layout of the world twenty five years ago than today, anytime.
It seems we did come quite close to nuclear war twice during the Cold War. Once in 1962 when Kennedy threatened the USSR over the Cuban missiles, and also around 1973, when Breschnev was considering a Soviet invasion of western Europe
You’ll see, sometime in the future your kind will be having your severed heads posing on pikes for all your high treasons.
Will I be let off if I help re-conquer the rebel south of Ireland? :lol: :lol:
