I'm more worried about one happing in Luton, Bradford, Birmingham etcOriginally posted by NorthWestPerm2Contr View PostThis is actually pretty serious......
Seems to be mini states of al qaeda appearing not only in Syria but now also in Iraq. Could happen to Jordan, Lebanon (already kind of happened) and elsewhere.
This is not good.Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.
No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.Comment

Saddam?Originally posted by zeitghostRank amateur compared with wot's happend over the last 10 years.
