Wait til we turn away the thousands of refugees arriving at our borders as the result of bombing then out of their own country. I'd be fucking radicalised by that.

Plus, this year's El Nino is now estimated to be the severest ever. Pity those displaced who will suffer this winter.

Newswatch tonight

(BeebNews24's equivalent of Points of View) 21-30: an analysis of the coverage of the vote, reportage of the buildup to it and Syria coverage. Newswatch is quite a good watch, usually. Has it's own worldview, not necessarily that of the rest of Beeb's coverage. Worth a look.

Has anybody actually sat down with ISIS, ISIL or whatever they are called these days and asked them what do they actually want, or indeed are fighting for?
Just an idea.

I was actually in shock after reading this! The mail have also been sceptical of cameron's excuses for bombing Syria, and amazingly even supportive and complimenting (mostly) Jeremy Corbyn!

Potentially I am a target, since I live and travel around London. There is no panic though. I'm more likely to be attacked by a drunk or drugged in the street. And I would fight back.

It's the same all over. I was in town last night and there was trouble, I didn't feel the urge to bomb them though.
There's always threats to the mainland but we don't go bombing countries because of them. The IRA posed a greater threat to the mainland than any other country since WW2 but did we bomb Northern Ireland? Of course we didn't.

Dodgey territory there my friend. We did bomb Northern Ireland and killed many people. Some of them mine. Now we have some kind of peace in the North. Not real though. The Brits won.

True we did to some extent, but not in the capacity we are now in Syria, which was what I was trying to put across.
Got a bit of a hangover so probably not putting myself over best

The difference between us Scots and the Irish are, that we don't want to use guns. I am as passionate as anyone can be about Scottish indy. We will use our voice, not bullets. That would be far too easy.
Historically, it belongs to us Scots. Just give us 10 years or so to get it back.
