The IRA killed Mountbatten and The Queen and Charles can still laugh and joke with GA and MM. Us lefties get accused of living in the past, you right wingers may want to take some of your own medicine.
The war with the IRA is over and it ended by talking.
Fine, adopt that method this time round. Your latest hero wants a political solution so perhaps he should try for one. He could start with a foreign policy for starters, which he clearly hasn't got. Oh well, never mind, perhaps he should just get to the hub of the matter, political dialect with terrorists who don't talk any sort of dialect with anyone.
But no matter, I'm sure he will get on famously with people that stone to death women who have been raped, I'm sure negotiation will go swimmingly with people who sex traffic children, throw homosexuals from tall buildings, cage burn people, drag corpses behind Land Cruisers, should I go on? Opps, silly me, I almost forgot beheading aid workers, tanker drivers, captured soldiers ( when they aren't cage burning them of course) and my particular favorite, Muslim converts who hoping against hope, thought it might save their lives. I'm sure JC will be back slapping and laughing along with them in no time.
Hey, maybe he could suggest meaningful discussion in one of the Palace of Westminster's tea rooms. Ask politely if their supporters might stop bombing and executing people in cities like Paris, London, Madrid and where ever the next one will be. Perhaps he could give them their coveted caliphate, wouldn't that be nice for them, their own little part of the world where they could slaughter the slightest dissent in the most heinous way they can imagine in the name of their perverted ideas of Islam and Allah. Of course, its all the Wests fault, foreign policy, Blair, Bush, Cameron, nicking the oil, Saudi's and disaffected Muslem youth, blah blah blah, change the ****ing record. ( Sorry, add the Tories and rich to that list but not Alan Sugar as he's on The Apprentice)
Lets all put our faith in a man who just two weeks ago said he expected his party to back his stance then changes his mind and gives a free vote because his party is far from united and his leadership is hanging by a thread. Lets put our faith in a man who still acts like a Art Collage lecturer rather than a statesman of the opposition. Lets put our faith in a man who opposes but hasn't got an alternative policy, idea or suggestion that is in anyway viable. And why? Because you can't talk to people who don't want a political settlement or solution.
His pacifist stance wont stop another attack on innocent people out for the evening, going to work or just getting on with their lives and nor will it impress the vast majority of the British public, the voters, not the converted but the unconverted who haven't joined the Labour Party but might consider voting for them at some time.
So if you 'lefties' (the first time I have used that pathetic line) want the moral high ground then have it, hope it keeps you warm at night. I prefer some backbone and putting these scumbags back into the Stone Age and killing as many as possible along the way. Send the filth to paradise in tiny little bits along with every ****er that has any support for them. Put the fear of every God into the ***** and make them crawl back under whatever rock whence they came..........And then hunt them down again and again and again until there are none but a historical memory left.
Bollocks to talking, we are past that.
Remember Paris.
