I have an imprinted pillow set so I can lay my head upon her snuggly features of a night.
I will only replace my bedding if my Lady Diana, 'Princess of Hearts' pillowcases are clean and available.

Just seen the Middle East Peace Envoy on BBC Breakfast.

"don't rule out boots on the ground" he says. Well it won't be his boots and he should have zero say in any of this anyway. He's failed pretty badly in his "peace envoy" role.

Brown should have usurped Bliar a lot sooner than he did.
He may have given himself more manouvreability instead of being a dead man walking once firefighting from No10.
Interesting that Brown's intervention into the refendum debate was seen as influential and fairly respected amongst many political analysts, whilst alternatively, Phoney Tony doesn't appear to merit any credibility amongst anybody anymore

Britain should not get involved in any way. let the Sunni & Shia wipe each other out if they want to.

The states that do not want IS will easily defend against them.

As others have pointed out, certain sections of the political/religious demographic seem disinterested.

Cameron rushing to recall Parliament scared to death he's going to miss out on the Isil air-strike party.
If our masters across the pond want us to be in, we better be in, eh?

Agreed. Obama is going to dismantle ISIL. That's what they did with Al Qaeda ain't it? Cameron will go to war in the interests of peace and freedom. Bizarre world!

There is only one way to deal with this - boots on ground and totally and utterly crush any resistance from any group in North Africa and the Middle East. What people may call a "Crusade". Anything short of that won't work.

Would you kill all the Saracens?

What ever happened to El Cid?

He died in 2008, but to be fair, he [iwas[/i a big fan of the [iWar on Terror.[/i

Not now they've released Joel Tomkins.

Just like we did so successfully in Iraq and Afghanistan...

He also seems to think that North Africa and the Middle East are the only regions that contain Muslims

better not go to Leicester then!

bloody fanatical Christians, all over Europe, making our laws (I wont go on)

You usually do though

unlike your good self, I suppose?

You usually do

is that irony?

I wonder if Comrade Putin is feeling a bit left out this morning? Will the stereotypical small man/big chip be pouting in the Kremlin, as he realises that once again, he's a wallflower?
After all, what's the point of dressing up in your bestest uniform, and do some serious posing in your own back yard, but you still don't get an invite to the Big Boys Party

Sucks to be you Vladimir....

So, we are officially at war again.
There was even black & white cockpit imagery to prove it on my TV screen this morning.
A Tornado dropping a Brimstone missile blowing a vehicle to smithereens.....................

I was thankful to Theresa May yesterday when, during her speech to the brain-dead she informed me that IS "was not Islamic and it's not a state". She's far too smart to be just a Home Secretary

She also warned us they could acquire ''chemical, biological or even nuclear weapons'' and that they are operating ''within a few hours flying time of our country''.
At least it's gone up from 45 minutes.
The [ivu[/i of [ideja.[/i

Looks like war !!!
