We don?t have to agree on anything. I would like your opinion: do you think there is a connection between our foreign policy in the Middle East ie; invading Afghanistan, Iraq and bombing Syria with the terror attacks we have suffered in recent times?

Doesn't matter what our foreign policy is- that is just used by jihadis to justify terrorist acts.

Islam declared war on the west aeons ago- we have chemical jihad, jihadi rape etc etc going on 24/7 in Europe. Overt acts of terrorism are the actions that slipped through the surveillance net- unfortunately for the French cop in the supermarket yesterday

"Ah Jimlad you have gone very quiet, have you no opinion?"


Just because you're self-righteous doesn't mean someone has to debate with you, nor does it mean that you have 'won'. It just means you're a bit childish.


On topic, it makes sense for the armed forces to have outreach events at schools - they still recruit in significant numbers and some kids are likely to find a career (short or long) in the forces very rewarding.

Of course not. The rum ration was abolished in 1970.

Just before the first gulf war my boss was a navy guy who had just left a post as "chief" (think its the highest NCO rank).


He suggested us young lads might like to join up and fight (and mentioned we might not get a choice) - the immediate indignant refusals to fight by the entire group was telling :)

    • Gosh, calm down.. How about not getting so heated, and not eat for 24 hours with sips of water? Try it and you may, just may understand, starvation, no water. No meds at all even if you need them - hasten to add, don’t do it at all if you are medically dependent. In fact, why doesn’t ED - do this for half a day - say in Oct, when everyone has come back from enjoying their, hols, new term starting and as a community, we could all be 1.? Before, November, fireworks, etc.                    
    • Many thanks I have sent them a message  
    • Stop foreign aid spend and re-direct those funds to improve the lives of UK citizens.  People shouldn't have to rely on charities and food banks, their is enough food wasted in this country already which could be re-directed.  Let their own Govts feed them, why does the UK have to do it, how about other nations contributing.  Well if aid can't reach them, how are they supposed to be fed if as you say food parcels being dropped from planes doesn't work.  Lets sort out this country first and put UK citizens first for a change.   
    • Well that really is not Christian Spirit at all - we all live in this world and yes, totally agree that it would be wonderful to have no conflict in the world but that is not possible. Yes we have people in need of food  in this country but overall enough charities and organisation in the west to help. We are talking about thousands of people who are starving - not just going hungry - a huge difference would you not agree ? Aid can’t reach people - for whatever conflict and don’t think people dropping parcels, boxes etc from planes would be the answer either.
