    I thinks being in the band is a blooming dangerous job for a British soldier. If the paddies dont get you, the talibans will.

    much safer in bomb disposal or the SAS, I reckon

      What irks me is the guy they had on R4 this morning was born in the UK and is happy to take advantage of all the privileges a UK citizen has i.e speaking his mind on public radio without fear of arrest (something Jon Pointed out he would be able to do in any Muslim state), yet he said he didn't recognise the UK government or any sort of democracy.

      I hate to say it but... why are you here exactly? Other than the obvious.
      My assumption was that the BBC got this guy on to give him enough rope to hang himself. They could have got a mainstream Muslim commentator to condemn the killing but where's the controversy in that? You will always find someone to support almost anything.

      I'm here for the lolz and to psychically absorb the discord.

        Or perhaps the Nelson Mandela Broadcating Company is actually pro jihadi and thought they were doing him a favour by putting him on
        Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

        No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

          Funny, I saw it as evidence of their right wing bias that the Muslim they put on was an extremist.

            These were not "Freedom" fighters. They were not struggling against repression in the UK or seeking to better the lives of their fellow human beings. Nelson Mandela was a freedom fighter. These two are common criminals.

            They espouse a repugnant mis-interpretation of a world religion. Their actions are calculated to try and divide our society. For what reason? So we can all return to the middle-ages? Live in a world where women's rights don't exist? Where you can be stoned to death for your sexuality? So you can pray 5 times a day to a made-up deity?
            So can we assume that you believe that the war in afghanistan is about women/gay rights? You do realise that we allied ourselves with the northern alliance in order to wage the war - the northern alliance that arguably has a worse human rights record than the taliban we were engaging?

              Is that the usual nutter they roll out to comment on anything remotely muslim/islam related, he is a proper loon, don't know why the likes of the BBC give that tw@t the oxygen of publicity, its like them saying 'and now to get a balanced christian viewpoint lets go over to the Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan' ...

                A lot of sane people who aren't and never lived in Britain were fond of the IRA.

                Simply because they didn't understand the conflict. Remember Britain had an Empire and NI looked to outsiders - like Gibraltar and the Falkland Islands - as one of the last vestiges of it.

That's not quite the same as an even fight between two people. He even said "I've broken the Geneva convention" - i.e. he's admitting that he's executed a POW.



                  They said they were looking specifically for a soldier (why else would they choose outside a barracks). He wasn't a random person; he was someone who had volunteered to go and fight in a war against a muslim country and was probably proud of it (speculation but most soldiers will say they're proud to wear the uniform). You could say their actions were justified if it stopped other people from volunteering in the same way and would save lives overall.

                  Not saying I agree, but it comes back to "one man's terrorist is another's freedom fighter".
                  In which case kill the people responsible. If they had taken a pop at B'liar or even the current government.


                  He volunteered to join the Army to defend his country, I doubt he joined to Kill 'Ragheads' or whatever phrase they use to dehumanise the enemy so they can kill them without going mad. I imagine he was proud of being in the Army. What he did was wrong but what would you do in his situation? I'm not sure I know but I might sound a bit like Suity on a new contract.

                  He was shot at, he shot back wounded the enemy and then executed him. For all but the last bit he would get a commendation.

                  Our Politicians put them there. They deserve our disdain.

                  The problem with Terrorists is that they use terror. Now if they had Killed Phoney ore even the present incumbent then I would be impressed, killing innocent people just makes me angry.

                  They didn't know he was a soldier they guessed and got lucky. He could just as easily been a paramedic with a sister in the Army.
                  Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

                    Yeah. I definitely think so too.

                      Say the Chinese decided our country was a bit crap and sent in their army who started shooting at our army and killing the odd bunch of innocents, wouldn't you be a bit annoyed? If you join the army and go into another country and start shooting at them don't expect a big sympathy fest when you get killed.
