At 9:40 - 9:45pm. He was on there bigging up the would be plane suicide bombers. Claiming they were perfectly within their right to blow up innocent civilians on the grounds that governments do the same thing. Basically going on a huge pro-terrorism tirade. I couldn't believe it! Did anyone get the guy's name I am seriously going to have to complain. I cannot believe a supposedly respectible company like the BBC would give someone like that airtime.

It wasn't Guy Goma again, was it?! :shock:

I don't know I didn't catch his name that's the whole point. Some vaguely muslim looking guy. Not very well spoken. If anyone else saw him they'll know who I mean. I'm not exaggerating I was absolutely apalled by his comments.

Well, I guess if they're willing to have BNP members on they have to have these kinds of nutters, too

Strangely, in that bizzare system of governing that we call a democracy, even assholes can speak their mind.

Now let me check...

Haven't heard anything from our George-boy, but thats not to say it wasn't him. Might've been some nutter from a local mosque they dragged in because he looked angry enough.

Frightening thing is... he has a point right there.

FOX news gave fred phelps' wife airtime.... oh were talking about respectable news agencies.... I guess my point is irrelevant.

And killing people has always been a factor in politics.

While not a direct parallel, the miners' strikes are a suitable citation.

Them mother****ers trashed entire areas and got in huge ****ing battles with the police - not to mention all the power disruption and wholesale looting that occured as a result of it.

You cannot justify purposefully setting out to kill innocent civilians under any circumstances whatsoever. The frightening thing is that he can make people think even for a second he has anything resembling a point with such a weak ****ing argument.

Spookily enough, I started getting Coaches to Scotland when I go recently, after it turned out that Prestwick Airport was being used as a US-Air Force stop-off point on the way to the Middle East. It's stressfull enough going by plane, but I'd normally risk it, but theres sensible precautions and there's walking into trouble....


I still have a suspicion that in a week or so, '22 people and 10 planes' will become '8 people and 3 planes', this usually happens with Terror alerts.

You remember....well, every single war ever fought before 1900, right?

****, avoiding civillian casualties is pretty much exclusively the domain of modern Westernized civilizations. Everyone else is still perfectly happy to take out infrastructure and civillian targets so long as they can do so without drawing the ire of NATO or the UN.
