When I booked my collection two days ago the confirmation email I received from Southwark clearly states the 180cm rule: For Health and Safety purposes please ensure that any glass objects are wrapped and padded. Also, please ensure that items are not longer than 180cm (6 foot) have no protruding nails and are properly contained with no loose or trailing parts. Should you wish to cancel your booking, please contact [email protected] quoting your reference number above no later than 48 hours prior to your collection date. Refunds will not be given for cancellations. No mattress, door or sofa is going to be 180cm or under. Many fridge freezers will also be over this threshold. So why are they offering to collect these items on the drop down list on their website?

I would agree that London is one of the worst places to live in the UK and this is from personal experience. However, I have lived in some very nice places.

Yes I think you would possibly get a jail term for praising Bin Laden, possibly a control order or be detained indeterminately without charge. You can receive up to 7 years in prison for glorifying terrorism. These 'white working class' "glorified and idolised" the murder of Stephen Lawrence. There are also a number of Asian working class who have glorified terrorism and been dealt far harsher punishments. 1

Do you actually read the articles from these news sources? There is very little reporting from inside Syria. The articles about Syria are concerned with the statements by western leaders. Kerry says this, Israel says that, Hollande says this. The vast majority of these articles are reporting of accusations against the Syrian government by western leaders. They do not discuss the actual evidence for any supposed atrocities by Assad. http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/.premium-1.544691 http://internacional.elpais.com/internacional/2013/09/01/actualidad/1378044441_476017.html http://www.lemonde.fr/proche-orient/article/2013/09/01/nouvelles-preuves-de-l-utilisation-des-armes-chimiques-en-syrie_3469485_3218.html Interestingly this is what Haaretz has reported when it actually did some journalism on the ground and asked actual Syrians about the situation: http://www.haaretz.com/news/features/.premium-1.54461 Home News Features The slinging nun || Syrian sister points accusing finger at Israel, U.S. Why a Carmelite nun believes the chemical attack in Damascus was faked. It reports entirely what I have been saying so thank you for providing additional sources for my argument.

It is not superfluous to the human suffering of the innocent. This suffering has to stop, the west, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Turkey has to stop funding foreign militias and weapons into Syria. They are facilitating war crimes. Your tax payers money has been sent to buy weapons for the rebels. When these weapons are being used against innocent people how is that superfluous to the problem in Syria? And here is El Pibe revealing his ridiculous double standards. British State owned media can be trusted but the state owned media of other nations must be lies.

A free and independent press: who do you mean by this? Do you mean the Rupert Murdoch empire or the state funded BBC? Or maybe those who are held for 9 hours at an airport under anti-terror laws? Al-Manar Press Tv Russia Today Hispan TV New Dehli TV Are these alternative media outlets to be dismissed? Why, because they are non-western? Are you also dismissing the eye-witness testimony of Aysh who has seen what is happening of the border of Turkey and Syria? We are not at an impasse in the debate. You are retreating because your assumptions on the situation in Syria have little substance and maybe you are starting to realise this. You are now resorting to the fallacy of a 'free and independent press'. Your readiness to believe the western imperial official outlets over all these other alternative sources shows what a partial perspective you have. I am happy to discuss the evidence from any news sources, something which I doubt you have considered,.

Yes my point is all of these I have listed are far worse and more brutal than Assad, but yet do not warrant intervention by the West. David Cameron and his ilke would have us believe that military intervention is a moral necessity in Syria but the massacre in Egypt just the other day doesn't warrant more than a comment. Why do you believe Assad is intentionally dropping bombs, shooting civilians and destroying his country? Why would he invite UN inspectors and then carry out a chemical attack? Because he is a mindless brutal dictator? He is fighting a pre-planned insurgency as Aysh's eye witness testimony makes clear. These fighters have hidden themselves in civilian areas. Is is army supposed to sit on its hands while the so called 'rebels' murder and rape the population. I would be interested to know where have you taken the idea that Assad has been indiscriminately bombing civilians areas? What particular knowledge of the situation do you have which hasn't been fed to you as the 'official line'

Thank you Aysh for providing some insight into what is really happening in the region. The real humanitarian disaster in Syria has been caused by regional and western powers flooding Syria with weapons and fighters and funding these rebel groups (also known as terrorists) to destroy the country from within. If you want evidence of the brutality of rebels groups then please look at the below small sample of acts by the 'rebels' that come to mind. There was the rebel's massacre of postal workers whose throats were slit and bodies thrown off a building. - rebel leader Abu Sakkar cuts out and eat the heart of a Syrian soldier ( available on youtube ) - rebels force a young boy to behead a prisoner with a machete ( available on youtube ) - rebels murder catholic priest Father Francois - confirmed by the vatican - there have been reports that rebels have engaged in the practice of forced marriage of local women (also known as rape) - recent reports that a rebel commander raped Al Jazeera reporter Ghada Oweis There are youtube videos showing many of these atrocities where rebels proudly pose with their victims, the western media have chosen to ignore as this hurts the image of the rebels. Excepting the heart eating incident where the BBC actually went to meet and interview the cannibal Abu Sakkar, described his act as a 'ritual bite' and seemed to make light of the incident. These are the people being funded and armed to wreak havoc in Syria. And all we hear from the western leaders is about the 'brutality' of Assad.

El Pibe.. The fact that you find it staggering that anyone could possibly think that Assad is not a brutal dictator is further evidence of your colonialist tendencies. Either that or you unquestionably believe the assertions of the western media. You have also said that Nato has lost 'the moral high ground' which implies that Nato had the moral high ground, do you believe that western governments and institutions by default occupy an elevated moral position? Please can you answer what exactly is it that makes Assad particularly 'brutal' compared to say King Fahd of Saudi Arabia, Erdogan of Turkey, the king of Bahrain or Barack Obama of the US? Please can you tell me one bad word you had heard about Assad before this supposed 'rebellion' or 'uprising' occured? The image of a brutal dictator murdering his own people is one conjured up by the enemies of Syria. Unfortunately you and others have fallen for this (evidently effective) propoganda. I personally have known Syrians who do not have a bad word to say against Assad. For the supposed 'rebels' it is a different story. I have no difficulty believing in the possibility that the 'rebel' groups could carry out a chemical attack without any compunction concerning civilian casualties. There have been a number of massacres carried out by this mercenaries, for which the established media tries to point the blame at the Syrian Army/Assad. You argue that the rebels are local and would not hurt their 'own' people. On the contrary, as I have said before this is not a local uprising. On the contrary you forget the army is made up of actual Syrians but you are happy to believe they are able to massacre and destroy their own community.

Point one was concerning your ridiculous claim that Assad has invited the UN inspectors in because he fears retaliation for not allowing them entry (though doesn't fear the consequences of commiting a chemical attack). This was my interpretation of what you wrote before. If this is not what you are claiming then let me know as I had considerable trouble 'parsing' what you wrote. I have been reading a number of your posts on this thread many of which demonstrate either an extraordinary naivety and/or an outdated colonialist outlook on the world. You seem to have styled yourself as a self-appointed expert of the situation in Syria. The local 'rebels' are not in the majority. Have you seen the image of the refugee camps? The local people have left where they can and those who remain are living in fear of the foreign militants running rampant across their country. Syria has been swamped with foreign weapons and fighters from across the world not just the region. There are British, Swedish, Australian, American so called 'jihadists' active in Syria and if you don't believe this then there is hard evidence about the nationality of 'rebels' who have been killed in the fighting. (many of their passports have been found) Your dismissal of my analyses of the situation as Islamaphobic is an unfortunate misinterpretation of what I wrote, but this is probably because you have trouble parsing my bad grammar. I wrote 'jihadists'/ foreign mercenaries because I believe that many of these are in fact paid mercenaries funded and armed by Qatar and Saudi Arabia, the US and Britain. William Hague has promised these groups money and weapons but the Uk and US (probably along with Turkey) have already been supplying them behind the scenes for some time. You say I have a 'willingness to believe a brutal secular government' On the contrary the problem is your willingness to believe in the old colonial myth of the brutal dictator while blindly believing that your own western leaders are truthful and benevolent despite all the evidence pointing to the contrary.

Really? Surely actually commiting a chemical attack while the UN inspectors are there is more likely to cause retaliation than not allowing in chemical inspectors? And how will a few days be too late to find anything conclusive? I don't know much about detecting these things but I thought the UN inspectors were sent into Syria to investigate reported attacks which happened months ago. If they can't investigate something which happened literally a few days ago then they are not much use are they? There has been numerous statements from western leaders concerning a 'red line' in terms of use of chemicals. Seems like a suicidal act for the Syrian government is they did this. I do not believe the Syrian leadership is that stupid. So called opposition groups have been massacring civilians throughout this conflict. Many of these are not locals but 'jihadist' groups/mercernaries with foreign backing. One just has to look at the violent and graphic videos that have been released to see that they have little regard for civilian casualties.
