Just don't get in a car with him if he drives near a river...
And for what it is worth, I feel it is wrong that an 'honourary' knighthood is given to someone from another country.
Yup I definately think the knighthood is wrong.
I would have agreed with Kent, but Its now too late. Lets ask the families of dead men who were murdered by the Real IRA what they think about it.
Incidentally Fab mate no it isn't any more of a slap in the face no. Do two wrongs make a right , no.
I have to ask if we manage to broker a series of peace talks with Al Qaeda will the US government happily sit down and have a free exchange of views with Bin Laden?
I wonder if there is a conference facility near Guantanamo?
And now as if by magic since this post was started the "real IRA" have attacked an army base, i feel a here we go again thing starting about everything, recessions,Ireland,corrupt politicians,the unions are revolting (in more ways than one) i am really getting a sinking feeling that life is getting shitter and shitter with no happiness or good news in sight anywhere, long live Gordon Brown and the labour party!!!!
Hold on jump mate. If you aren't part of the solution you are part of the problem.
Who ever told you the government was responsible for your personal happiness sold you a pup.
The vast majority of problems in our society that I can see come largely from the fact that too many folk sit around looking at their problems, no matter how personal, and say 'why doesn't the government do something about this?"
How profound silkandbig and what total clap trap, so the goverment have not caused the recession with there tottally negligent running of the country, and the government are not going to be to blame for the massive tax increases we are going to be facing when we get out of this depression we are in caused by the governments negligence, and troops are not dying in Afghanistan and Iraq due to lack of government funding allowing the troops to have the right kit (having paid £200 for a pair of desert boots for myself this is fact), oh i could go on for hours ask Kent, the problem with this country is too many people bury there heads in the sand and have far too many rose tinted glasses on!! I could easily pretend everything is rosey and Gordon Brown is wonderful, i anm not anti Labour or Gordon Brown but he and his parties negligence is to blame for much unhappiness at this present time that your comments are laughable.
Mr Powers of course we are paid too much, i mean we get to go to all the hot sandy places, wear fantastic fashions and sleep in 0 star accomodation,whilst providing our own kit and fun.
No Nola they cant be solely blamed but i get the impression from some that the opinion is they are blameless, they were voted in to do a job, they are quick to fine people for putting the wrong rubbish in the wrong bin, but not regulate the bankers who started this mess, no they are not to blame in anyway especially if you are a labour supporter!
Blaire for president. :shock:
I cant be arsed wit ya Jump. So ..........what everyone else said.......ya ya ya yada
The cause of all wars in my opinion are religion and governments and both were involved in Ireland and are now in Afghanistan and Iraq etc.....
People fight for their beliefs rightly or wrongly.
Perhaps we should consider honours to mend old divisions.
I would like to put forward Napoleon for a Baronet and Hitler for Dukedom.
The giving of the said honours will undoubtedly let all know that we no longer hold any thing against those very nice and mis-understood individuals.
....and if you think I am putting my name to this....
Kent, Republican does not necessarily mean IRA terrorist does it? It's perfectly possible to believe in the political aims of Irish Nationalism, and yet be a staunch opponent of paramilitary violence. Confusing the two is a favoured tactic of those who would try and tar all nationalists with the same brush, and does a disservice to those who have fought for nationalist aims using only democratic means while simultaneously fighting the violence within their own communities.
