Well said Andrew Neil

Butes a nice place but nearer an hour and a half and a wee bit more now the ferry terminal is bust any you have to take the longer trip from Gourock.
Not really massive employment opportunities unfortunately.

and it isn't anywhere near Tobermory - which also has limited employment opportunity.
 
Sorry Delc but this is inflammatory at best, but downright ignorant and insensitive in light of recent events
Can I point out that the people who carried out the terrorist attacks in Paris were already resident there or in Brussels. Also, even if we can prove that migrants are genuine and not Jehadi terrorists, can we guarantee that their disaffected offsprings will not be radicalised by Muslim hate preachers in a few years time (e.g. Jehadi John)?

Why not come up with an end to poverty, world hunger and affordable and sustainable energy resources for. Surely simpler tasks to undertake and to be honest the response still doesn't justify the initial comment imo. That's just how I see it
 
Worth a watch..Discussion of US policy from Senate Armed Services Commitee.

Seems that the American military are a bit confused in their aims. No change there then! With friends like America, who needs enemies!

P.S. Tony Blair acting as George W Bush's poodle in promoting the war against Iraq was another reason for the Middle-Eastern Arabs to hate us.

Ah... The Galloway theory...

Similar to the Daily Mail [aka Delc] theory... Blame anything/everything on one group/incident...

More like the Middle East theory. Saudi and Iran are sworn enemies' of the Israelis' and while America are their best mates the chances of getting them into a coalition to assist with the current Middle East mess makes it a tad difficult.
 
Amateur golfers setting the world to rights. Clearly the answer to the IS problem is the GM Forum. We should probably invite them to this thread and in the end they'd probably pack up sticks and go home, thinking we're not worth it after all.

Bit of fun or bit serious, are we not allowed opinions as amateur golfers?:confused:
 
More power to you. It's perhaps not the subject I was mocking, rather the playground antics of back and forth jibes.

Totally agree on that one, it wouldn't be fun if it wasn't for the falling out and upset.:D
 
While I can sympathise with Andrew Neil's response to the Paris atrocities, I think that the best response by far was the dignified statement made by the French husband of one of the deceased victims. His reaction to them was both strong and moving and, in my view, perfectly judged.

Totally agree. Sadly I can see another widow/widower doing the same thing, possibly even from the UK soon. They won't give up or go away.
