Can't be that!He said "British Government ruled country".So he must mean places like Iraq.But I am not sure who chooses to live there!We only ruled there for a bit I'd wager.

Yet some of those same terrorists chose to live in the British Government ruled country. Funny old world..... Hello Jonjel. Do you mean the ones (like 7/7 bombers) who were born here? Sadly so my friend. Some don't seem to have learned that we have moved on from settling arguments (even theological or political in nature) by beating each other around the head with a club to actually sitting down and talking. Or indeed electing those who do that on our behalf.

There's no such thing as a British Government ruled country. Ask Nigel Farage.

Hello Jonjel.
Well whether or not they were born here or chose to live here is a bit besides the point.Surely it is possible for anyone who lives here (regardless of their background) to be radicalised by our Government which is the proposition in the OP.I am not defending terrorists. I think what they do is reprehensible. But I think that is possible to live here and at the same time be strongly opposed to our Government's foreign policy, say.
I agree with you, Jonjel, that Jaw, jaw is better than War, war. but right now we are talking about why they are acting this way.And I for one think that Clefarquhar (sp?) could be on to something.

And I have to disagree with you for the reasons I gave some way up this thread. Or was it another thread? Whatever I said and wherever my opinion is unchanged.
Time poor right now but I may be back..........

The 7/7 bombers were under no obligation to live here if it was uncongenial to them. They all held passports for Pakistan, too, like all Pakistani descended immigrants here. Pakistan is the place many UK Pakistanis call "home" by the way! Obviously it's just a sentimental attachment. They know which side their bread is buttered. Of course, the native British mostly DON'T have dual nationality and passports for other countries, except the EU!

I suppose it is too much to hope that DiL will return to Somalia and take your son (and kids and her extended family) with her, aqua? What! You mean there are no WPC and public sector jobs jobs in Somalia at the moment? Cripes! Why ever not?
The traffic is ALL one-way, isn't it, aqua? To the West and away from poverty, insecurity, cultural and religious repression, war and bloodletting.
Don't be afraid to acknowledge this. No-one will think the worse of you for it, or the DiL, for that matter. It's the "denial" of the patently obvious that is so offensive.

Presumptuous, predictable, and pathetic.

I now it's hard for the PC and, in the aqua family's case, the personally affected, to acknowledge the bleedin' obvious but you could make the effort occasionally, if only for the intellectual reputation of the board.

The intellectual reputation of the board, as you put it, is dragged down by the misuse of intellect - in the service of prejudice and monomania. So, well done, you. BTW, I've never 'denied' what you seem to think I have. It's just that your ad hominem distortions and misrememberings always put me off from engaging with you. Why not just move on ...
