Bombing Doesn't seem to have worked in Iraq, Also I noticed Those on social media with a gun ho "bomb them" mentality are the same "close our borders to refugees" shouters....Do they not realise this creates more people fleeing now they are being bombed, shot at & terrorised from all sides ?

I marched against the Iraq war against Tony Blair, which is pretty much responsible for the mess the middle east is in today.

And believe me I'm as far from a "red flag waiving leftie" as you could be

They do indeed Blah blah, I'm sure President Assad has his eye on the growing healthy snack market


I'm sure he's working on his own version of Wasabi Peas in anticipation of the war ending

Not heard a convincing argument either way. Feels a bit knee jerk. Pretty sure it will achieve little but to wind up/create more fundaMENTALISTS.


2 genuine questions


1 - if Assad is obstructing a relative "peace" why has sas not "dealt" with him. ive read that rebels are too busy fighting him, so can't fight Isis. Get rid of Assad and rebels become allies against isli.


2- what are we (UK/the west) doing to fight the ideology both home and abroad. Read an article in the times about how academics in university are teaching all sorts of nonesense about Islam, prejudice against it in UK etc, sympathising for IS and giving it a basis in academia.


No reference for this article sadly, but was pretty shocking to see what top u is are teaching.


Key conclusion for that article was - fight ideology with better ideology!


Anyway, hopefully some sensible discussion ensues....

This part is hilarious....'Together with other documents obtained by the Guardian, it builds up a picture of a group that, although sworn to a founding principle of brutal violence, is equally set on more mundane matters such as health, education, commerce, communications and jobs'.

Hmmm. Might be "hilarious" but also just a tad worrying, I'd say.

Assad would have been got rid of but One Ed Milliband wouldn't support Cameron ( for entirely political reasons) so no coalition was formed, Obama gave up an Assad remained.


Universities stuffed with idiot lefties shocker

Didn't Cameron at this time want to fund and support a little known group of rebels that became Isis?

Yes he did.


Half the problem is that the sands are always shifting (no pun intended) and it's hard for any party leader to navigate through that. That's why knee jerk reactions are never the right response. A lot of this also has to do with not letting Russia get a stronghold in the region as well.


What frustrates me is that there are plenty of things that can be done to force the region to move towards stability. Turkey and Saudi Arabia are being allowed to do as they please, and in conflict to the wider pursuit of stability. But there is no political will to take either of those nations on. Turkey wants to become part of the EU as well - you have to be joking with the way they behave at present.


I'd also like to know where a government that says welfare has to be cut by 12bn, suddenly finds 12bn to give to defence, on top of what will now be a higher bill for Trident. I think someone above did point that out, that we can find money to drop bombs, but we can't find money to keep the poorest and disabled away from destitution. That needs to be said more.

    • There is a large amount fresh veg available in the green book cage outside the copleston church,sprouts,spring onions,potatoes,parsnips and bread rolls,pop down shame to see it get wasted          
    • On the original topic - there was more of this on Whateley Road today. Same place but the other side of the road. Could be the same dogwalker as for the other nearby roads?   I don't have a dog - but would have thought it's hard for owners not to notice when a dog is doing it in the middle of a pavement? 
    • Thought I’d take a trip down to Rye Lane this morning to visit the charity shops etc. I usually park in the Morrisons car park and buy stuff there and then the nearby shops. I know there are a few shops near the Aylesham centre that are having to close (Boots the chemist was a shoplifters favourite over the years) but I was shocked to see the extent of shop closures, graffiti, overall decline in the area.  Sometimes I get the bus and wanted to visit the Crises charity shop but it didn’t open until 10.30am and it had a coffee place inside. They have a shop in Rye Lane but are missing out on early rising customers. Walking down towards Santendar and the Primark store was very empty.Just hope that isn’t due for closure. The security guards are very nonchalant. The Scope charity shop has a prime position but doesn’t promote the shop Greggs have done away with their self service due to the number of thefts of food items.  The Poundland was quite empty too but I visit this one as they have stock since the Camberwell one closed down.         
    • Maybe I'm behind the times, but in the old days if you went to a pub for charity fundraiser you'd have a quiz or karaoke and you'd be chipping in for a new scanner at your local hospital or maybe sending some poor kiddie for some cancer treatment abroad. Nowadays you can roll down to the Old Nun's head in Nunhead and tip your money into a bucket for some sad young woman to go a private surgeon and have her breasts sliced off -  as if that was going to be some kind of life-saving treatment!  Not only that, she's publicising her Valentine's crowdfunder with a funny ha ha (not) cartoon of a girl (see pic) with a hypodermic in her bum and calling it 'Valen-Tits-off'. Jesus wept. Whatever happened to hearts and flowers? It's so unbelievably sick. I'm a woman, I've pretty much still got all the woman-bits intact. Periods and puberty weren't much fun, I was bullied at school, wondered about my sexuality and boys and spots and the rest of it, got called a lezzer by the class cow, but I got through it. And I would no more think that cutting bits off a girl was the solution to her misery than I would put my teenage daughter on a diet if she was diagnosed with anorexia. I can't be the only person who finds the pub - and its publicity material - very VERY offensive?
