My boy comes home late from school and I panic a little inside, at the back of my mind the fear that soon Muslims will be making their gruesome videos here in the UK.
I'd imagine statistically he's more likely to be run over whilst crossing the road...

I didn't realise Concorde had a military role.
There was a time where Concorde was reconsidered as a strategic bomber (late 70's, With a cruse missile dispenser)
A pretty good one she would have been too! :/

Hahaha excellently written!

DEAR ISIS:
Congratulations. In a period of about three days you’ve completely screwed yourself in every strategic and ideological way imaginable. You’ve motivated frenemies like Barack Obama and Vladimir Putin to huddle together with no pretense and figure out how to end you. You’ve forced Belgium to admit it has a problem. You’ve motivated the Iraqis to start driving you out of its borders. You’ve even made everyone start liking France again. And your historically bad week is just getting started.
The United States is now taking out your oil tankers without regard for collateral damage; there goes your only revenue. France is using its air force to blow up your stronghold as the world cheers it on; no one even knew France had an air force. Putin has given up the identity of your funding sources, and he’s now willing to give up his longstanding protection of Assad in the process. But more than merely motivating the militaries of the world to take out every last trace of you, you’ve done something far worse to yourself: you’ve lost your identity.
World leaders are no longer referring to you as “ISIS” or the “Islamic State” because they’re not willing to let you pretend that your terrorist agenda is in any way connected to Islam. You don’t even get to keep your acronym anymore. Now you’re being referred to as Daesh, a name you hate. We even let the French pick out the name, because they’ve more than earned it this week. Muslim leaders and Muslim rank-and-file around the world despise you, and you’re completely out of allies.
You seem to want World War III. The trouble is, you don’t have the muscle. You don’t even fully control a single nation, and the world has taken out half your assets in a matter of a few days. It’ll take far longer than that to gradually wipe every trace of your existence from the earth, but that’s now inevitable. So thanks, ISIS or Daesh or whatever name we might choose to call you against your will. In these divisive times you’ve somehow managed to unite the entire world. Congratulations on that.
Oh, and you blew up a dog. What kind of a **** does that..

Bloody out of date farcebook as usual, daesh is an old term for one.
The US was purposely ignoring oil tankers for years, it happely ignores that, the Russians have done the most damage in that regard, forcing the almighty us to concede.
Aggravating.

Is amazing, thing is though they took the long route round to Syria which is a bit odd, flew past our air space and the RAF scrambled Typhoons to intercept them.

Looking at the route you are right there, seeing as they went completely around every country and over sea to get to their target.

VERY happy to see that the UN is giving the thumbs-up for action against these scumbags. Very disappointed that Labour weren't up for it when they last voted on it but action sanctioned by the UN should make even that idiot of a leader that Labour have at the moment getting on board.
I'm living in London but personally aren't worried about getting killed by similar atrocities that we've seen in Paris and Mali, when it's your time to go it's your time to go and there's bugger all you can do about it.
London was under threat from the IRA for decades and it didn't stop me going on about my business then and these ******s won't stop me going on about my business now.
What would be hilarious would be if there was such an entity as god or allah or any other godhead and they popped down to chew bubble gum and kick ass of these muppets. I don't believe in any of that superstitious nonsense myself but I'd love to see it happen lol
Personally any religion that stops anyone from shagging, eating and drinking whatever they want is ridiculous. Think of all those millions of people worldwide that haven't tasted the wonders of a fried bacon sandwich. I'm part Jewish but thank my lucky stars (and my parents, and my grandparents!) that we're not in any way orthodox. Bacon sarnies are a delicacy that EVERYONE should be able to try out imo.

I was working in London at the time - woke up to a text message from my sister saying something like "I'm ok!!!" (which had me puzzled as I didn't yet know what had happened) - she'd been due through the area where it happened (not on that actual train AFAIK) at the time but had either got on an earlier or later train than normal - can't remember which.
That night she and several of her co-workers couldn't get home as normal so they came out my way (had to walk a fair distance from central London) which was the only direction open and then were collected from there by friends/family who drove around the long way.
The next day it was pretty much back to normal - the general sentiment of friends and co-workers was to not let them win by being afraid - for a few days people were going the extra mile to help those affected by it i.e. getting to and from work, etc.
Couple of days later I made my way across London from Bromley North to Kings Cross station for a trip up north with a rucksack on my back and a lot of thoughts went through my head on that part of the journey - none the least wondering what other people passing by where thinking. (A completely different journey compared to if I'd done it a week earlier - i.e. the extra scrutiny from passers by and police, etc. that having a rucksack on me suddenly got).
