We're a week away from the most painful Budget in history thanks largely to the eye-watering cost of lockdown. Yet Baroness Hallett says next time the Government must be ready to go harder and faster. This is insanity.

It's bad enough that all UK TV users are forced to fund the BBC via a TV licence. But it's worse than that, says Charlotte Gill: millions of pounds of taxpayers' money are handed to the corporation via backdoor channels.

What pro-war movement? - "David Mertens" - no address, no phone, no e-mail. - No way to contact. (And probably no members, other than himself, the ejit)

Obviously a troll, so why are people bothering to get worked up? There are bigger fish to fry.

"Wars are necessary steps in the evolution of a heterogeneous global society. Always have been, always will be."

"We kill or oppress anyone who doesn't agree with, or fit into our world view."

.. smoking the peace pipe only works if everyone subscribes to that ideal. Since the world isn't built in the image of a doped out '60s San Fransisco.....peacenikery just won't cut it.

So how's about getting real and admitting that this war isn't about killing and maiming groups with dissenting and opposing views. Wars are necessary steps in the evolution of a heterogeneous global society. Always have been, always will be.

I have a couple of slogans you could use:

"25 Major american corporations can't be wrong"

"It's not about the oil, honest"

"It's not a terrorist action if you have a nice shiny uniform"

"Might makes right"

"The ends justify the means"

"You can't make an omlette without slaughtering a couple of hundred innocents from half a mile up with a few hundred kilos of explosive and steel"


Don't get me wrong here folks, I don't find the deaths of iraqi civilians in any humorous, but the pro death brigade are always worthy of mockery.

Anyone attenting these protests must take extreme care to define positions and keep them seperate. Confusion and anger from both sides creates a possibility for agressive or even violent reactions. Remember on side here supports and endorses the maiming and killing of people who dissagree with them.

I would urge the anti-war side to display their feelings by turning their backs on the pro war demonstration and ignoring their presense. No doubt many trouble makers will be present. Armchair patriots will be aggitated and eager to incite violence. They have been rallied into a frenzy of blood thirsty rage at those ( . . . by far in the majority) who do not support their policy of freight train false freedom - "join us or we'll run you down in our speedy determination to drive common sense and decency over the cliff edge into oblivion. defy their insults and aggressive cowardice by ignoring them. Turn your backs on them and drown out their wails and screams for blood by banging your pots and keeping your determind approach to stick together in peace. Words are strength, unity is strength, peace is the courageous path . . .

I'll be there. It's time we showed the Islamofascist raghead sympathisers what's what.

I don't think you should call yourselves the Pro-War movement though, how about "American Army Comrades Association"?

Semper fide. Do or die.
