    And one to file under 'You couldn't make it up':

    The dead body of an insurgent who had an Aston Villa tattoo has also been discovered in southern Afghanistan.
    Ah well. I guess it could all have been much, much worse. These fighters are not complete savages, as is shown by them not sporting Tottenham tattoos.

    I don't find it all that odd from their perspective, but the UK really has to wise up on what they have living within their borders. Saw a video of beards shrieking the usual messages with the usual primitive rage at the 2 minute silence at national memorium day, and very passive bobby's.

    Best to kill them abroad. A lot cheaper than all the legal niceties of trying to remove people aiding terrorists and actively trying to kill soldiers - we might be breaching their human rights deporting them to a country they are trying to destabilise...

    The UK should realise the difference between a multicultural society and a multiracial society. The former doesn't work.

    yup, i get a little happier inside every time i think about the possibility of a british born jihadi getting obliterated by a hellfire missile from a predator drone in the skies of afghanistan.

    there is a price for treason, i would see it paid.

    Some would say that what an Afghan cab driver does in his free time is none of our bloody business and that we should debate him

    Anyway, you know something is rotten in your country if it isn't legally possible to simply pick up the "cab driver -Taleban fighter during his holidays" and send him back to whatever country the plane/boat/bus he arrived with, hailed from. And shoot him if he refuses to leave voluntarily. There are limits.

    Wasn't it more the fact that they had the nerve to live in the country as citizens, then go kill its own soldiers? Much like this cab driver...

    Ah.

    So nobody has an issue with Taliban fighters killing british soldiers in the presence of their families, as long as they do it on a tourist visa?

    It removes the problem I stated above. Of course, it is not acceptable for soldiers to conduct themselves as you describe, be they from the Taliban or the British Army.

    I have a hard time understanding how this guy can on the one hand make the most of the UK and on the other spend the proceeds of his comfortable existence in (potentially) attacking UK troops. How can he rationalise that? Living and benefiting from something he also objects to. I'm sure it's not that simple but the guy could surely have based himself in a country without forces in Afghanistan -and avoid such a contradiction.

    Maybe he thinks it's awesome because each and every british passenger helps him finance the resistance against british troops? As in he's destroying them with their own money, they finance their own downfall.

    Pesticides are used although we know it doesn't solve the problem. In the example given, removing the individuals from the UK (or more accurately, refusing them the right to return) would be a move towards sustainability.

    Hmm. The sustainability of China's internal "peace" rests on the Government's ability to maintain growth at a steady-ish 8%PA.

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    You don't seriously think Muslims in Paris, in the capital of secular Europe, would use a football stadium for a huge outdoor mosque?

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

    They frown upon a football stadium.

    Muslims in Paristan simply barricade off a few streets in the city itself, five times a day, prohibite passage for non-Muslims, and have their prayers in the open air. Like this, in the 18th, at the foot of Martyr Mountain, near the Sacred Heart basilica:

    I'm sorry Louis but I really don't know how that city functions.

    Is it divided up into segments? Do the truckers have their own and the Muslims another? The gas stations?

    Forget the 35 hour work week. I'd be lucky to make it in for 10.
