Everyone will be shocked by the reports about the cowardly and savage murder today in London of a unarmed soldier by brain washed moronic animals pretending to be people of faith.
I think at this time our thoughts are firstly with the victim and his family.
While it is too soon to know exactly what happened and why - I suspect that they are doppelgangers
of Norwegian fascist mass murderer Anders Breivik. These extremists are all the same - ignorant, selfish, vain, cowardly bigots and should be treated with the contempt that they deserve. I think the best way to respond is to click here and donate whatever you can to "Help for Heroes" http://www.helpforheroes.org.uk/donate/. Pass this on.
Hat-tip thingy to respect’s Mac Uaid of all people. Not being an X-Factor type of person I was unaware that the 12 finalists had issued a Christmas single to raise money for wounded British Servicemen and women. The song and the message are really good. The record is probably going to be number one and is the faster selling chart record of the decade. The Chancellor has removed VAT from the sale. Check out the British Army website for more information on the worthy charity Help for Heroes and there is a link to Play.com where I bought the down load of the record for £1.25.
It was interesting to read said Mac Uaid’s despair about the success of the single. It says “something very depressing about the state of anti-war consciousness. No song opposing the imperial intervention has had even a fraction of the success”.
He would appear to think that all British servicemen and women (check out the video he is plugging) are murderers and torturers who got what they deserved. Thanks to the bravery of the same service personal it is a free country and he can say what he thinks. But he fails to realise the utter contempt that the overwhelming vast majority of the country thinks of such views. Especially the working class who he claims to represent.
You can attack the decisions and politicians who made those decisions but to denigrate those who wounded and disabled?
When are the Ultra left going to wake up and realise they are just wasting their entire lives with such nonsense? Mind you, you have to be completely and utterly off your head in the first place to think that you are helping your cause by such observations.
