		<description>In modern Afghanistan people are still fighting for freedom and democracy.  Hardly anyone dared vote, they feared what would happen if it were discovered they had voted.  The Taliban has cut off peoples&#039; fingers, threatened and bullied....

The Greeks (and the Romans) were the originators of democracy, but centuries later, countries like Afghanistan are still desperately fighting for that very thing.</description>

		<description>Not much evidence that Phidippides actually existed, I fear. The first accounts that mention him are 500 years after marathon. Nice story, though I can&#039;t quite see what it has to do with modern Afghanistan</description>

		<description>I am not splitting hairs, but we don&#039;t have to show compassion just to people who show it to us.  That is not really compassion, it is a trade off.

I actually believe it was the right thing to let Megrahi go home, even if it was for the wrong reasons.</description>

		<description>Yeah, you are right, Hammeruk14. Russian is hardly communist. They just are just hanging onto the communism tag to stay in power being filty rich dictators as long as possible. If we look at all the communist countries in the world, we can hardly see any true, humble communist leaders. They all were and are mass-murderes-cum-filthy-rich-ruthless-dictators.

Putin has ordered Russian historians to rewrite Russian history books used for teaching in Russian schools. The new books paint all previous Russian communist leaders as national true communist heroes. All these communist leaders&#039; mass murdering millions of their own people is not mentioned in these new books. ( reported by newspapers )

If he is a true humble communist, how could Putin afford to buy a £17 million holiday villa in the south of France; Madonna&#039;s and Elton John&#039;s villa in the same area are only worth under £7 million? How could Putin afford to buy a private jet costing £32 million for himself and his family? ( reported by newspapers )

Look at Queen M.L, a ruling government minister,openly hanging out with Russian millionaire mafias who have the backing of Putin. And Guy Gordon said he were not doing anything wrong. I mean, don&#039;t we have a code of conduct for MPs anymore? 

The way this hardcore Russia influenced dictatorship socialist Labour party is running this country, people will gradually accept that Britain belongs to nobody, there&#039;s no such thing as love and pride for your country. Finally, it will be ready to be gradually swallowed up by Russia influenced dictatorial socialists. Or Russia. Which is the same thing.
--------------

It&#039;s explained in the newspapers that this is the way Labour calculates the population of this country. Say, last year 350,000 Brits moved to Australia, USA, Canada, South Africa for good and 500,000 Eastern Europeans came here to live, then Labour says there were only 150,000 &#039;new comers&#039; moved here last year. ( The numbers I use here are very close to the actual numbers ).

Surely, it&#039;s miscalculating on purpose. Soon, you will suddenly find that it&#039;s no longer England.

It&#039;s your country. Stand up. Speak up. Protect your country for your children and your grand children. Look at the way Australia, USA, Canada ... control immigrations into their countries. It&#039;s not easy to immigrate to those countries at all. And who can call them racist countries? Nobody.

MacAskill: Why I set killer free

Dying Lockerbie bomber Megrahi was freed because mercy was &#039; corner stone of Scottish values &#039;, Kenny MacAskill said yesterday. (!!!) In a 28-minute address he referred to the killer as Mr. al Megrahi.(!!) The Scottish Justice Secretary said: &#039;Mr. al Megrahi did NOT show his victims any comfort or compassion. (!!!) But our justice system demands judgment be imposed but compassion be available. (!!!) Our beliefs dictate justice be served, but mercy be shown. (!!!) For these reasons alone it is MY decision (!!!) that Mr. al Megrahi be released on compassionate grounds and allowed to return to Libya to die. &#039;

MacAskill then sniped at the UK Labour government for refusing to help (???), saying: &#039; I offered the right to provide information. They declined. &#039;
------
Hahahaha, how comical. How much did this Labour government pay the Scottish government to say that they were not involed in this matter of ordering the Scottish government to free the Lockerbie bomber? Why did Queen M.L, 2 weeks ago, have a secret talk with Gaddafi&#039;s son at the Rothschild&#039;s holiday villa in corfu, Greek, if they were not talking about releasing the Lockerbie bomber?

If he did not show his victims any comfort or compassion, why did this Labour government order Scottish government to release him?

Because Jack Straw had always insisted that: &#039; Ronnie Biggs has never showed any remorse for his crime, he will never be release. Even he has terminal cancer and only has a few months to live, he will still have to die in jail. &#039;

Is this why they suddenly released Ronnie Biggs from jail &#039; on compassionate grounds &#039; (!!!) - a week after Queen M.L had had a secret talk with Libyan dictator Gaddafi&#039;s son  to make a sooth way for them to release the Lockerbie bomber a week later, so nobody could complain ? How cunning and calculating this government is. 

And what is the point of sacrifying our soldiers&#039; lives in those warfronts if, back home this Labour government don&#039;t know how to deal with terrorists whom they have already caught? Well, just downgrade them and call them terror-suspects so they can be put under house arrest and pay them social benefits to live on. That&#039;s an easier solution, isn&#039;t it?

I&#039;ll tell yous what. This Labour government really wants to pull out of those warfronts, but they don&#039;t know how to, without being seen as obvious Russia influenced hardcore dictatorial socialists who live in the West. Meaning a bunch of limp-wristed socialist nutcases who never like fighting for democracy. The difference is dictatorial socialist communists are always trying to find ways to invade other countries.
-------------
Obama&#039;s anger at &#039;mistake&#039;

Obama hit out at the Scottish government yesterday and branded Megrahi&#039;s release a &#039;mistake&#039;. He said he had told victims&#039; families the move was inappropriate. and he added: &#039;We have been in contact with the Scottish government indicating that we object to this. We thought it was a mistake. &#039;

He also called on Libya to place the bomber under house arrest (!!!). His Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said the release was &#039; absolutely wrong &#039;. And US Attorney General Eric Holder said: &#039;The interests of justice have not been served by this decision.&#039;

AND Tory leader David Cameron agreed: &#039; It&#039;s the product of nonsensical thinking. This man was convicted of murdering 270 people - he showed no compassion to them. &#039;</description>

<p>AND Tory leader David Cameron agreed: &#8216; It&#8217;s the product of nonsensical thinking. This man was convicted of murdering 270 people &#8211; he showed no compassion to them. &#8216;</p>

Hi Lorraine,
My comment was not honestly for you alone. It was a general comment. Like you and other people must have heard people now say we can not complain about anything happens in this country without being  called a racist. That&#039;s all.

And I was not writing it with a pent up anger or anything. It might read like I was. I was very camp, I mean calm. Maybe BJ should have a system like YouTube so we could post our video comment and we could hear our voice.

Sparrow Fart is an Australian slang, Lorraine. Check it for yourself. And it&#039;s my real name. Well, our family name is Fart. When I was born, my parents named me Sparrow. Which is a lovely name. Added to our family name, it is Sparrow Fart. And you know why? Sparrow Fart means the earliest time of the morning. About the time when all the sparrows get up and let out a little fart sygnifying their awakening. Meaning &#039; dawn &#039;.  I think it&#039;s a very beautiful, fragrant and poetic expression, Lorraine. Well, all Australians are simple minded really. And who can blame them? Stemming from shipped convicts.

In other words, I&#039;m Dawn Fart. 

Yours sinserly,

		<description>Sparrow Fart you are raising some good points about immigration and the fact that people are given Asylum some wrongly but there are many which are very GENUINE cases. 

We are also a member of the EU which makes our open door policy throughout Europe meaning we can go there and people can come here.  It has been quite restraining economically and socially and I completely empathsise with your view points.

I dont think we should single out Asylum Seekers but illegal immigrants. It is important to make that distinction and in this debate the boundary has been very obscure and it seems people think Asylum seekers are illegal immigrants and I think this is a very dangerous line to take.

Labour is hardly socialist ... it has abandoned its traditional voter base the Working Class. If it was a socialist government the money that it gave to bankers it would have given to people struggling to pay their mortgages.

Russia is hardly communist its run a bunch of hardcore capitalists who want to dominate European economics and politics.</description>
