Yeah, I agree. Any debate should be about what constitutes torture and not whether or not torture should be legal. In some hysterical quarters not having a sufficiently soft prison matress might be described as torture.
At the other extreme, some commentators do not regard “waterboarding” as torture though it surely is.

Steven L- “Pan-Arab-National- Socialism” seems a bit old hat.Maybe you mean the PSS/ SSNP?

The Palestinian Nationalists did nt all support Hitler. The Communists amongst them at the time supported the partition, I believe.

Yes he is! I’ve just seen him say so himself in a clip shown on This Week. He also said he weighed 17 stones.

But perhaps this should be regarded as Boris’ own personal and highly principled counterthrust to the PC War on Obesity. He might even attain the epic heavyweight proportions of a Nigel Lawson, and become Chancellor of the Exchequer purely by virtue of his stupendous weight.

If so, I hope he doesn’t follow Lawson, and then write a book on slimming.

The really subversive, non-PC thing to do would be take up smoking.

Cigars of Churchillian dimensions.

In public.

Jack Target-As for the rewriting of the human rights act, I agree with Cameron and this is one policy which holds particular appeal for me.

Wasn`t this primarily to get us out of the EU human rights legislation like Germany who have one and are able to exempt themselves on this basis

I don’t understand for the life of me why our left wingers want to make allegience with Arab Nationalist movements such as the PLO and Hizbullah.

You would think that the ideology of Hezbollah, and the various Palestinian Nationaist groups (anti-semite, pro invasion and destruction of another soveriegn state etc.) sits on the opposite end of the political spectrum of our so-called socialists.

I also fail to see what interest British-Bangladeshi and British-Pakistani Muslims have in supporting Pan-Arab National-Socialism. You would think there are more important political, social and geographical problems in the Indian Subcontinent that they would care about, especially in Bangladesh.

Fools like George Galloway and Ken Livingston who prey on impressionable young Muslims for votes are making a very grave error if you ask me.

Most of these young Muslim kids are probably not old or wise enough to clearly understand the difference between the extremist Takfiri movement, Arab National Socialism, normal opposition within Britain to NATO foreign policy and trotskism.

Men like Galloway and Livingstone who seek to confuse these kids further in the aim of winning their votes and holding office are playing a dangerous game if you ask me, blurring the boundries between three different extremist movements and mainstream political objection.

Very good . You would like the letter I have in at the moment (sent in from a black Christian Female member … oh yes we’re devious)

Contrasting the bleating on about a Lebanon ( 1800 dead) as compared to the utter lack of interest in the 400,000 ( as per NGOs) black Africans slaughtered raped and god knows what else in Darfur . That’s about a Lebanon every 10 days and no sign of the UN although it is formally agreed. Khartoum still has eyes on the South obviously which has only just escaped sharia law

This is not natural disaster it is the ethnic cleansing policy of the Islamic Arab Khartoum Government and just for once even a small voice might help the international pressure but not a bloody word form Emily Thornberry ( Lab MP) James Kempton ( Coucil Leader ) who had pages and pages of hand wringing about the nasty Jews.

Israel withdrew the other day thank god but these fatuous poseurs will not care a jot they were advertising their political position and tender conscience. I do not claim to lose sleep worrying about Africa but if there was something one could realistically do to get the UN in there I would do it. Write to MP ( done) write to paper(done ) . what can you do ? It is heart breaking .
