[Who PhD]

Didn't they?

Who said it then?

But shes an incoherent robot. She sounds like a dalek going through Google translate

I'm not too familiar with the Whoverse but I seem to remember that the Daleks have a degree of passion about them, at least when it comes to EXTERMINATEing things. Perhaps Cybermen?

So it's Trump's fault for leaking the sensitive intelligence not May's fault for letting a non-functional government run by an islamophobic lunatic have said intelligence in the first place?

Yes I'm sure it's standard policy to share these things, but a wise prime minister might have looked at that policy and made a few changes before something like this happened. Or just cut out the middle man and fax everything Mi5 has directly to Putin's office.

No, it's actually Comrade Corbyn and Gerry McDonnell's fault because reasons.

But we darne't upset our new trade overlords when we think we might get a good price for children's cancer services from some rich vermont billionaire cunt

So we get to choose between back to the 70's with Corbyn or back to the 50's with May?

Whatever it is it clearly works in her favour wrt the election. Not only strong and stable but responsible too. Not that it should do but that may not be how the public see it, especially the way it's being played in the press.

Sorry I'm on a posting roll here, But basically although these atrocities are wrong they might be divine punishment for all the wrong Britain has done in the past, up to and including the Crusades.

divine punishment? are you on drugs?

There's an argument that our foreign policy feeds isis' recruitment dept if they have such a thing but ffs divine retirbution? fuck off you cunt. Not posted here in ages, well done you broke my silence, prick.

 

[agricola]

Have we had this yet?

Sources spoken to by MEE suggest that the government facilitated the travel of Libyan exiles and British-Libyan residents and citizens keen to fight against Gaddafi including some who it deemed to pose a potential security threat.

One British citizen with a Libyan background who was placed on a control order – effectively house arrest – because of fears that he would join militant groups in Iraq said he was "shocked" that he was able to travel to Libya to fight in 2011 shortly after his control order was lifted.

"I was allowed to go, no questions asked," said the source, who wished to remain anonymous.

He said he had met several other British-Libyans from east London who also had control orders lifted in 2011 as the war against Gaddafi intensified, with the UK, France and the US carrying out air strikes and deploying special forces soldiers in support of the rebels.

"They didn't have passports, they were looking for fakes or a way to smuggle themselves across," said the source.

But within days of their control orders being lifted, British authorities returned their passports, he said.

Sorry, you are right, I was just curious to see if there was anyone here who didn't share this view. What with white liberal empire guilt being what it is, and also pandering.

I reckon every happy meal box will be a potential bomb for some time.
Hope it is just a discarded happy meal.

Well I suppose that song might be about a community uniting in the face of terrorist atrocities. With Oasis songs it's impossible to say one way or another what they're supposed to be about.

'Don't look back in anger' - it'll be 'hug an islamo fascist' next.

Could be worse. They could be singing Morrisey's 'Rusholme Ruffians'.

Okay it's theory time. What if it's not possible for Muslims to challenge the grip of their religious leaders from within.

Can't believe I'm seeing this bullshit here. Have you ever met any Muslims?

 

[Brainaddict]

To hear some liberals and liberal lefties, you'd be given to think we're more at risk from the Tamil Tigers.

In the US and UK the risk from white supremacists is about on a par I believe. To hear you talk you'd think only Muslims commit terrorist attacks in the UK. Remind me who killed the last MP to be killed by a terrorist...

No-one here says that regressive versions of Islam aren't a problem, but there's an issue if you see that as a unique terrorist-creating problem, and there are big questions over what the state can or should do to intervene without us all coming under suspicion and experiencing repression, and also without generating further counter-productive hostility.
