Oh dear. I know a number of right-wing Bonobos who will be most disappointed.

Raincoaster – Vicus is a perfectly harmless fruit bun and we love him to bits – just don’t think we mean to take this argument that far..

Vicus, your work here is done. Melissa is advocating [Ed: xxx]in public with Bonobos.

I, personally, draw the line at [Ed: xxx] in public with Bono.

I’m sorry if I made an inappropriate remark. I haven’t been following Boris Johnson’s career in huge detail I admit. I just think stirring up a witch hunt over the Iraq war is bad politics. Blair may have made the wrong call– only time will tell but at the time Blair, Bush and Howard all thought it was important from a number of different perspectives. Furthermore, decisions like that simply do involve an element of risk. Blair had to make the call–that’s his job. I’m not a fan of Blair at all but in this instance it’s unfair and unreasonable to have a go at him for a decision he made using the best information that he had at the time.

Didn’t Boris support the war initially?

Surely attempting to ensure that a relatively normal democratically elected government presides over the world’s second largest oil deposits was in everyone’s interests? At least they have tried. I wouldn’t have done it myself because I didn’t think it would work but I can see why it would have been a fantastic thing to do.

also islamic extremism was here well before iraq because we let london especially become londonistan

it took us 5 years to ban hitz ul tahir

the only supposedly moderate leader of the muslim council of britain said about salman rushdie ,killing him would be to kind for him –and has spoken in favour of terrorist atttacks in israel

the muslim association of britain has links to the muslim brotherhood a terrorist group

we let omar bakri mohammed and Abu Hamza preach there hate for ages not doing anything about it — look the terrorist of 7/7 had links to both

we had abu quatada in britain and did nothing about it

it is our failure to act earlier on the terrorist threat ,which has lead to it being embedded deeply in a minority of muslim society

if people are avoiding the tube , because of a terrorist attack, they are letting terrorists win by letting terrorists change there lives

people are more likely to die crossing the road then be killed by terrorists.

im sorry boris

but there has been islamic extremism before iraq,before afghanistan,before 9/11 before israel was created— terrorists just use iraq as an excuse they will find other excuses , the main problem as michael gove put’s it in his excellent book is that we never stand up to western culture ,we dont bother trying to assimilate people into our country , we dont bother trying to win the cultural side of the war on terror ,by showing moderate muslims and young muslims there is no future in islamic extremism

omar khayam for example his plot to bomb had nothing to do with iraq .

i dont agree with the war on iraq for different reasons ,because it has made iran more powerful , it has not created islamic extremism it is already there

i find people’s appeasing attitude to muslim extremists because of iraq abhorrent . what you should be saying was you were doing stuff before iraq Well we’re not going to stand for it because our culture is a peace loving culture . maybe if people like clinton took the terrorist threat seriously then we would have been in a better situation to deal with terrorists.

there are many things i disagree on , but my first thought isn’t to kill innocent people,and i dont think anything can ever be used as an excuse to kill innocent people

The only thing all you have to remember here is this… all people in this country or in the world have the right to live and live as they feel neccessary to fill their needs.That is suitable housing and living conditions and very little else, because i believe that people achieve their own goals but we cannot be dictated to by the likes of politicians who live their lives out of other peoples money like Boris Johnson who has made millions out of t.v. appearances but has done nothing for his community. After all there are just not a load of rich people in henley.. there are council and housing accosiation houses so lets not waste any more time ,, lets let people know we are the people [Ed .. comment moderated] DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT !!!!!!

Haven’t we all missed the issues? Boris can see loadsa bikes out of his window because the weather’s brill thanks to global warming, and were being taxed senseless by grim Gordon, and need to save the readies. For the analysts out there, CO2 + IRev = Bikes.

Actually, has anyone done a study on how the human processes car fumes – do we breathe them out cleaner than what we inhale? Could this be a cunning Labour plan ….

Charlotte, that is a bit harsh. Have you been following Boris’s career? [Ed: inappropriate comment]
