Lets just all put on Turbans, eat kebabs and praise allah and turn our toilets away from Mecca!! Iād rather take an oath to the queen then live in a world like that!!
Actually no, I like Kebabs!
Iāll say this.
Iām not a huge fan of the BA or what they did in Ireland in the past but to say they are an evil force, worse than the Taliban, nowadays is plainly ridiculous. Seriously I cant see how anyone could say so.
As for the racism stuff, they bring it on themselves.
What was that bird on the bus thinking when she didnāt move out of the way for the white guy?

I had a huge row with a lapsed forum member last year about the British Army. I would have thought their genocide in Iraq would have made them worse than the taliban.
i concur bandage - while there is a hint of anti muslim sectarianism in some posters thread I cant see how anyone can not say genocide is not evil
Iāll make this simple. The British Army is not committing genocide.
I do not agree that the dog in a manger has the final right to the manger, even though he may have lain there for a very long time. I do not admit that right. I do not admit, for instance that a great wrong has been done to the Red Indians of America, or the black people of Australia. I do not admit that a wrong has been done to these people by the fact that a stronger race, a higher grade race, to put it that way, has come in and taken their place.
Winston Churchill: what he said of the Palestinians - 1937
i can see now why you support fc biggles
Biggles?
Quoting a racist like Churchill to back up your point kind of suggests you agree with his racist points and therefore are a racist yourself Flaninho.
Ah I just read that on someones myspace about 2 minutes before I posted here and decided to share it with everyone. I like the new nickname for me Bandage, Flaninho, I like it.

A new āsuper-weaponā being supplied to British soldiers in Afghanistan employs technology based on the āthermobaricā principle which uses heat and pressure to kill people targeted across a wide air by sucking the air out of lungs and rupturing internal organs.
The so-called āenhanced blastā weapon uses similar technology used in the US ābunker bustingā bombs and the devastating bombs dropped by the Russians to destroy the Chechen capital, Grozny.
Such weapons are brutally effective because they first disperse a gas or chemical agent which is lit at a second stage, allowing the blast to fill the spaces of a building or the crevices of a cave. When the US military deployed a version of these weapons in 2005, DefenseTech wrote an article titled, āMarines Quiet About Brutal New Weapon.ā
According to the US Defense Intelligence Agency, which released a study on thermobaric weapons in 1993, āThe [blast] kill mechanism against living targets is uniqueāand unpleasantā¦ What kills is the pressure wave, and more importantly, the subsequent rarefaction [vacuum], which ruptures the lungs. If the fuel deflagrates but does not detonate, victims will be severely burned and will probably also inhale the burning fuel. Since the most common FAE fuels, ethylene oxide and propylene oxide, are highly toxic, undetonated FAE should prove as lethal to personnel caught within the cloud as most chemical agents.ā
A second DIA study said, āshock and pressure waves cause minimal damage to brain tissueā¦ it is possible that victims of FAEs are not rendered unconscious by the blast, but instead suffer for several seconds or minutes while they suffocate.ā
āThe effect of an FAE explosion within confined spaces is immense,ā said a CIA study of the weapons. āThose near the ignition point are obliterated. Those at the fringe are likely to suffer many internal, and thus invisible injuries, including burst eardrums and crushed inner ear organs, severe concussions, ruptured lungs and internal organs, and possibly blindness.ā
British defense officials told the UK Guardian that British bombs were ādifferent.ā
āThey are optimized to create blast [rather than heat]ā, one said, speaking on the standard condition of anonymity in Britain. The official added that it would be misleading to call them āthermobaric.ā
Officials told the Guardian the new weapon was classified as a soldier launched ālight anti-structure munitionā and that the bombs would be more effective because āeven when they hit the damage is limited to a confined area.ā
āThe continuing issue of civilian casualties in Afghanistan has enormous importance in the battle for hearts and minds,ā said Liberal Democrat leader Sir Menzies Campbell in the article. āIf these weapons contribute to the deaths of civilians then a primary purpose of the British deployment is going to be made yet more difficult.ā
According to Campbell, the deployment of the weapons was not announced to Parliament.
That weapon sounds class.
