It conjurs up an image in my mind of a bunch of silly schoolboys with some secret society.

But latest news is very upsetting. It was an aid worker FFS.

Unfortunately the more the west gets involved the worse it gets.

To be honest, I'm not sure you can equate hacking off somebody's head using a blunt knife with what is supposed to be a swift decapitation by a skilled swordsman.
I have it on good authoridy that the condemned are drugged up to the eyeballs and have a considerable quantidy of blood medically drained prior to the execution such that they don't really know what's going on when they get to Chop Chop Square.
Not that it makes it OK (I'm anni capidal punishment) but is the Saudi method less humane than methods used in some American states? I think not.

The Islamic State in Iraq and Syria released a video on Saturday that showed what appeared to be the beheading of a British citizen, David Cawthorne Haines, an aid worker.

It's all about money. That's all it's ever been. Money. Our economy would fall flat on it's face without cheap labour. Selling out our society is a small price in Westminster's eyes.
However, I disagree that our economy would fall flat on its face without cheap migrant labour. While organisations profit initially, the bill, in terms of welfare, social housing, crime, health costs etc. are picked up by the state and paid for by all of us, including those same companies as tax. When you take all costs into account we are, on average, no better off. We can never compete with the third world in producing low cost goods, the key to a successful first world economy is technology and innovation.
Yes, immigration expands the GDP, but if you similarly expand the population, nobody is any better off in terms of wealth per capita and the adverse impact on our quality of life with overcrowding and destruction of our countryside and increases in housing, rental, and utility costs is enormous.
We are not supposed to mention it of course but, while some groups like the Chinese and Indians do perform very well, the facts, not the Daily Mail, show that others have been and remain a disaster in many ways.
