    Wtf does this have to do with Britain ? Is that chip on your shoulder really that massive ?

    So far all I've seen is Britain offering their condolences to the victims and their families...

    One interview on BBC news went on for at least 3 minutes about tweets from David Cameron and what he was doing right now. Who the f**k cares. Stick with the story.

    Small mercy. They only played the Olympia last week. Sends a shiver down the spine though, when you go out to a gig the last thing on your mind is being slaughtered by some cultist with whom you have no quarrel with

    We all have a quarrel with these cultists. We just may not realise it yet.

    And look at the lack of leadership and indecisiveness at EU level these days. A strong leader needs to step up to the plate quickly.

    Depends what type of strong leader emerges.

    Islam has been around for centuries and has been able to co-exist without problems. The instability of the last fifteen years has its origins with the hawks of the West who used language akin to your own.

    You've got to be kidding. Islam has been constantly at war with Europe since the the 7th century. If it wasn't for Charles Martel and his army at the Battle of Tours western europe would probably be speaking arabic now, the same for King Jan Sobieski and his Polish winged hussars who saved Vienna in 1683, Islam has never been a religion of peace, it has constantly expanded bringing violence wherever it goes.

    It's two half quotes

    Go read the full quotes and see what they say. It is a poisonous ideology and needs to be routed out like a cancer. Muslims believe that the book is the literal word of God. It is mental .

    I hate to be blunt, but what exactly to you think we should do right now?

    I am absolutely disgusted with what is happening but my options to do anything right now are limited.

    At this stage I can see mass internment without trial being seriously considered in France.

    Tony Blair has a lot to answer for to with his criminal invasion of Iraq and completely ruining the region and then letting folk take over and now we are transporting them into Europe and on our doorstep who WILL attack us with bombs and bullets. It's incredible.

    This is terrifying for the people in Paris - I hope the authorities can sort this out before more innocents perish.
