Many will have done - for many others it will have been meet the new boss same as the old boss. There was no India as such before British rule - just a huge area of land controlled by various local rulers. The whole place had been continually invaded for 1000s of years, we weren't the first - and we were a huge improvement on the Mughals.
Agreed - all the lip licking smacks of go-faster drugs to me... He was "off his face" either on drugs or adrenalin. He didn't know what to do next and probably hadn't thought that far ahead. Appalling that nobody battered him with a length of 4x2 as he strutted about.
i would have paid to see someone run up behind him and plant a 2x4 right round his temple, could take a bow after that!
I imagine a blood soaked murderer armed with a knife and a meat cleaver doesn't present the most appealing target for somebody who was until then out shopping for groceries
I'm with you, Moons... we can choose to be offended or not, and often the best way of 'getting one over' someone who's clearly trying to be offensive is to show them that you're not offended. There are clearly more important things to get wound up about, like "why is it that every time I cut out some rust on my bus and weld in a patch, I find another hole nearby?"... aarrgghhh!! ps... I'm half Scottish, quarter Welsh, quarter English and half mad!
I'm born in London, raised in Wales, half Welsh, half Irish - conclusion, I'm buggered! As for this act of barberism, the shock will turn to anger...it's the natural process. The attacker - drugs, mental imbalance, low or indeed high intelligence - just another meek or myopic pawn sent to do evil deeds by the controlling puppeteers who want power on their terms. I'm hoping he's dreaming of virgins when he gets the Marmite kicked out of him in the nick. Maybe this will give out politicians the kick up the arse they need to open a debate with the people about how we want to be governed and what is reasonable or unreasonable in our society - instead of simply bottling any debate on religious tolerance. As an aethiest, we aren't organised, that's our issue and aren't allowed any reasonable debate on how others 'ancient' beliefs limit our rights - maybe twitter etc will make it a debate anyway.
Virgins? What do they know? Gimme 72 experienced women any day of the week. Unless its all about peace and quiet. Then maybe I can see the attraction.
Richard Dawkins has been getting a lot of flak recently because he has mentioned islam and the nonsense neologism "islamophobia" has been rolled out in various articles about him.
The Mod is again advising service personel not to wear uniforms in public, this is our people in our country What sort of country are we living in when we have to do this in case it upsets the Muslim minority
Do you not think it is more to do with the safety of the personnel rather than offending other communities?
Muslim minority in some cases, The recent census shown us otherwise. It was a crazy act though yesterday. And Thank god I'm away from there now, As I served 4 years down there.
They've retracted the no-uniforms statement. Some proper bullMarmite on this thread but fair play to the mods for not deleting it for a change.
If anyone would like to take the time out from point scoring and register their support for the murdered serviceman please do so here. No comment required and preferably no argument too. http://thelatebay.com/index.php?threads/woolwich-not-political-just-rip.24644/#post-410001
This is no different than the 70s, 80s and 90s ... if I drove in I wore my uniform under a coat ... it had nothing to do then with upsetting anyone, nor anything to do with Muslims, purely my personal safety.
Well my thoughts are with the family BUT AND THIS is the big but people like bootsam have allowed this county to be overrun and in 40 years time the white English will be out numbered by 20 to 1 and its not me that's saying that but YOUR own government! A Muslim well NEVER inform or tell the police about another Muslim FACT!
