Even the BBC cannot really hide the obvious fact that Miliband’s encounter with Obama was …. awkward! Have a read, this made me smile.

Quite remarkable that the BBC can produce this lengthy article on Female Genital Mutilation and never once mention the faith group that practises it with such devotion – ISLAM.

      Let’s think……. Hamburg/Dresden   D-Day     Nagasaki/Hiroshima   Vietnam   Afghanistan   Iraq     Guess we’d know what ‘you’d’ do. The same as the Israelis when it comes to defeating terror and a merciless and ruthless enemy which seeks to eliminate you……’never again’ is the Israeli response…and who can blame them.          

    Pounce originally came up with these figures in the comments and I was reminded of them by Is the BBC biased?: Analysis Of Gazans Killed So Far In Operation Protective Edge   From their figures, and I haven’t looked at the source myself, it looks like the Palestinian casualties are 14% male under fighting age (up to 17), 18% women, 6% male over age (over 60) and the … Continue reading →

The Guardian was at the front of … Continue reading →

I was somewhat surprised to hear an item on the Today programme this morning discussing a current (pointless) Government PR campaign to try and stop young British muslims going to Syria. Remarkably, the suggestion was put about that many go there on a “humanitarian” impulse. This is nonsense. They go there to fight and KILL. That is the aim of the Jihad.
