I'm afraid that the family of this poor man were naive to suggest that our Government could do anything to prevent it. Obviously they had hoped but I'm afraid he never had a chance.

Well turkey have managed to secure the release of 49 of their people from Isis, so...

These propaganda killings are ideal for the Americans and her allies. They will secretly love each and everyone of them

They legitimise returning back to the Middle East to continue their mission of controlling that whole region and its resources.

Oh and this whole Isis threat is mostly bollocks anyway. This 'threat' has been purposely blown out of all proportion. It's just another bogey man invented by the West. Again - to legitimise going back in with all guns blazing again.

I pray for Alan whose life had been cruelly cut short by these animals

But also for all the innocent Muslims who are going to be blown to pieces at the hands of American and British war planes and missiles.

Meanwhile, back in the real world . . . . . .

Because Turkey has a hard lined Islamist government, who is fortunately being frustrated by it's own democratic institutions and military from going full Iran.

And is delighted to turn a blind eye to its substantial border with Syria and Iraq, to smuggle oil one way and loonies and guns the other way.

I guess giving into murderous tyrannical regimes when they threaten you is good foreign policy.

Boy did it work in 1936 with Germany.

I mean seriously for the sake of a few hostages, you're suggesting we should let any nut case in a balaclava decide Uk foreign policy.

nb Lofty you might find this article on Stop the War Coalition interesting, as published in the left leaning Indy

Even that 1 minute long announcement on YouTube shit me right up, and nothing scary even actually happened. The actual show is going to kill me.

awesome over drive Dave Lynch had the only cool Ice bucket challenge

I've still not seen the first series although I always wanted to after all the build up.

The trouble is these American series always go on too long for me.
