Thanks for the update Carrie, good to hear, let's hope he's continuing to do well...

That was exactly what I was about to say re. Social Media. I'm a lifelong Labour voter and consider myself left of centre, but I will never vote for Labour while he's leader...

It must hark back to when Sunday was traditionally a day of rest, the Sabbath, no one worked, shops were closed etc...

That's ok Mick, we all have our cross to bear...

I'm still not buying the Irish are a distinct race...nationality, yes

Does anyone remember the guy on here who was selling all his stuff in order to buy a sleeping bag etc in preparation for being homeless and sleeping rough? Must've been a few years now...

Well, there's one thing factually correct in that...you're not a genius http://cascade.uoregon.edu/spring2012/assets_c/2012/04/DigIt-thumb-300x288-1500.jpg

What Jah said. I was being kind earlier, trying to reason, but like Otta I now suspect a bit of trolling going on here. The good citizens of Clapham wouldn't get up to this sort of thing, would they littlethistle?...

What does that 'definition' actually mean in legal terms Mick? Is it just some sort of edict/directive, or is it legally binding in some way?...

Every year, a few weeks before and after Bonfire night, fireworks are regularly let off, probably no more than hijinks from youngsters. The people who died in Paris were mainly young adults, out enjoying themselves, I'm sure they wouldn't want people to stop doing that, life has to go on otherwise the terrorists have won...

And I wouldn't give the order too much significance, probably written alphabetically rather than prejudicially. And I don't agree including nationality as a form of racism as lots of races can make up a nation, but having said that, there is a difference between calling someone a ''lazy cunt'' and a ''lazy Irish cunt'' whilst thumping them...context, innit.

I think what you're describing happened in Bosnia, not Kosovo, and it happened several years before NATO began strategically bombing Serb targets in respect of the Kosovo conflict. This bombing definitely impacted on the Serbs and brought about an end to the conflict. Here's a timeline of events... http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/kosovo/etc/cron.html

True, there's nothing wrong in saying that, but it reeks of naivety and stating the bleedin' obvious, and begs the question why say it in the first place. Of course in an ideal world 'Jihadi John' would've been captured and gone on trial, but how likely was that ever going to happen? Pretty much zilch. As well as the difficulties of trying to get someone on the ground to capture him, you're dealing with people who have a twisted mindset. As we saw last night at the Paris concert venue, they would rather blow themselves up than be captured.

It's true that 'JJ' was an 'executioner' who has probably already been replaced, but he had also become a recruiting 'poster boy' for IS because of his background. So stopping that in itself is an achievement. Not sure why you're making a correlation between your perceived lack of achievement and his pain free death. Would it have been more of an achievement if he had suffered a long slow painful death? If so, we're getting very Biblical...

This. Before the arrival of East European tradesmen, a lot of them highly skilled, you had British tradesmen taking the proverbial with the extortionate prices they charged, that's how the Harry Enfield 'Loadsamoney' character came about, they were creaming it in. Nowadays prices are indeed reasonable. The construction industry has always used immigrant labour, and will continue to do so...
