    Did anyone catch 'Have I got news for you'?

    Clive Anderson quoted a spokesman for the Sudanese embassy as saying "Its a storm in a Teacup" To which Clive screamed "How dare they insult the vessel of our national beverage, may a thousand scones rain down on their heads"

    What a stupid nation the Sudan is!
    More backward than stupid IMO. I would leave their rotting country to do just that...

    being Muslim myself this is just embarassing, its a shame there are no viable middle eastern countries with a decent army, cos i woudl send them over there and tell those idiots to stfu and the media are being total idiots too, there are millions of ppl called Mohammed, and lots of them are in jail, probably not nice ppl too, lol this is just a political event now.
    But you guyz are right more fuel for the fire, yikes.
    Its a bit obvious half those demonstraters A have nothing to do any sorta protest against the West will get them going, B some are there for the camera
    and C dont actually know what they are demonstrating against maybe or are plain thick.
    Think about it the worlds media is semi kinda there right now, why not throw in some anti-war slogans etc rather then complain about some teacher who made a mistake, minor mistake.


    This is barely new to me except if she gets lashes or goes to jail, obviously an over reaction by the locals, but it is just the locals. Its nowt all to do with me or anyone here, as usual the media let the absolute minority rule.

    Here was me thinking that only in the UK politicians relied on making other trouble to bury unpleasant news from it's population.

    UN peace keepers are suppose to go into Darfur in January but the Sudanese government are refusing to agree to it.
