The Politics Thread

Ha. Vindication of what I've thought about both tossers. It would appear that Hezbollah has invited Nick Griffin to visit its stronghold in the Bekaa valley. You know,that Nick Griffin, leader of the BNP. LOL... lots of.

im watching the news about the G8 protesters, wondering what the hell is their beef, and why so emotional? They wanna settle down.

i really dont understand enough about current affairs...

[Beefheart]

They hate capitalism I think.

[General Mannerheim]

why?

[Beefheart]

I don't know, because meat is murder or something.

i thought the whole idea of extraditing him is so that he can stand trial and face justice if he is found guilty?

[Hoboh]

Actually he was found guilty in his absence for something or other so I suppose they could bang him up for that giving them time to ensure he gets a 'fair' and legal (under Jordanian law) trial

[William the White]

Surely only decent people deserve fair trials?

Everyone else can be banged up without trial for years and years, tortured, force-fed and that'll teach em what democracy and liberty means...

An unfair trial could go one of two ways. Not thought of that, have you? What you mean is you want to see a man prosecuted whether or not he's actually guilty as charged because it fits in with your predetermined take on it. You would, of course, be looking for a fair trial for yourself if you were hauled before the courts eh, Hobo?!

Personally I'd rather keep the 4ucker here, where we can keep an eye on him and monitor whatever he's up to.

Yes, it was a bit of a surprise - he was an acting mayor on a holier-than-thou ticket because the incumbent had resigned amid corruption allegations. I have to confess that bribery and corruption are something of a way of political life here. I actually know this guy, but think I might look the other way should we meet if the allegations prove well-founded.

^ Them's proper Tories. What we need now are a few Militant Tendency Labour MPs and balance will be restored.
