    I think everyone knows that. So what about explaining why I am wrong for the benefit of my simple mind

    I don't know if I can fly a Tornado GR4. I have never asked if I can fly one and I have never claimed that I have flown one.




    Is it in one of your dreams that I'm flying a Tornado and I drop my massive load on you? Have you been talking to AndyW's mum?
    not at all, we had a chap on here once who made big claims !
    one of his claims was that he flew his tornado back from Italy with a bowl of pasta on his lap.
    he will have finished his porridge-tasting-course a few years ago, and I always thought he would come back

    just checking

    Both serious reasons for ISIS to fear countries negotiating to achieve, though in the short term they probably have more to fear from Dassault Mirages...
    That's more like it, they have lots to fear and peace talks are some way down the list.
    They are on a fanatical high right now, and history tells us that that wont last

    I can fly a Chipmunk, but I'm not sure what all this has to do with the Antarctic ice sheet? Maybe start a fresh thread for poorly-substantiated Green-bashing?

    As for your questions, I've trawled through a few pages of garbage from you and the nearest thing to a question was one of your usual loaded ones...

    I believe that PEACE is what ISIS fears the most. If there is peace, then they have nothing to fight for. Nothing to kill for. No justification (even if it is only in their own minds) for their violence, and no reason for their existence.

    Here's the non-edited statement...

    As Paris mourns its dead and cares for its wounded after the hideous weekend attack, the Green Party today said that it was important to ensure that we did not act in ways that fuel ISIS and terrorism.

    Green Party leader, Natalie Bennett said:

    “There is a real risk that amongst the outcomes of the heinous attacks in Paris will be increased fear and division, the stirring up of Islamophobia and an impulse to retreat from the compassion and support with which Europe has so far met those fleeing ISIS in Syria and Iraq.

    "ISIS does not want to see that compassion, inclusion and displays of fraternity.

    "While sensible screening measures and checks need to be maintained; to cut off escape routes for desperate people fleeing war and persecution would only play into ISIS's hands.

    "We cannot let the actions of a handful of extremists dictate our response to the ongoing refugee crisis. The Green Party will resist calls to reduce Britain and Europe's access to refugees and are redoubling our calls for Britain to welcome its fair share of the refugees reaching Europe.

    “We also want to acknowledge and highlight the way in which so many communities around the world live with regular similar atrocities, including attacks in Beirut, Ankara, Baghdad and Kabul. And we need to note that the actions of Turkey in attacking Kurdish communities fighting ISIS within Syria have been disastrous, damaging, and deserve the strongest condemnation."

    Green Party foreign affairs spokesperson, Tony Clarke said:

    “The killing has to stop and world leaders must find a way forward that defeats ISIS using the weapon that these terrorists fear most of all, peace talks.

    “There were signs over the weekend that those talks may now have some new foundation and I would encourage presidents and prime ministers to recognise that the drones cannot provide a solution and pick up the phones and find a way of halting this never ending circle of death.”

    What else is there to believe from hypocrites who see the only solution as being violence?
