    Perhaps Mailman could be detained under the Dangerously Disororganised Criminal Act.
    Bless him!

    I still believe the dutch are quite a relaxed people...its just the others they have let in that still believe they are living in crapblackistan that are inflexible. These people need to realise they aint in their home countries anymore and if they find it so intolerable they can always move back to where they came from (bet that will shut a lot of them up!).

    Unsure if that observation is based upon a weekend in Amsterdams coffee shops, but I can tell you that having worked in various cities inthe NL over a period of three years the Dutch are far from relaxed.

    They are petty, vindictive and have never a good word to say about anybody,they spend the whole day complaining, which seems to be a national sport or droning on and on and on at pointless endless meetings.

    I have added the Netherlands to my blacklist accordingly.

    NB There are also coffeshops in Brussels, however they exist unofficaly, so you are unliely to know about then unless you frequent the Brussels underworld.

    Undercover of the night I have discovered two in my area, one which is mainly full of 70 year old Morrocans selling hashish, and another with young chaps with baseball caps selling home grown grass.

    If course I plan to make a citizens arrest,manyana man.

    the editor in chief of France-soir has been sacked . so much for the freedom of press in France

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/4672642.stm


    read what another British (AL-ARAB AL-ALAMIYAH ) newspaper says :

    "The printing of offensive cartoons by the Danish newspaper is an insult to Islam and has crystallized the conflict between Europe and the Arabs. "

    well he made a stand and that cost him his job

    respect to that particular frog

    as Mailman said, the arab's reaction is quite telling....
    mind you, it may only be their governments and press (same thing) that are up in arms, maybe their population do not give a sh1t - after all, our own press is not adverse to presenting things in a particular angle suiting them either, are they..........

    Whats more telling is the reaction to those images being posted. Murder threats, bombing scares, intimidation...so much for being the religion of peace.

    The Norwegians have followed suit.

    Bet the UK doesn't, though.

    The point is that the US have allowed the Heroin trade to boom this was the price for the Warlords partiicaption in the war against the Taliban.

    A US spokeman said at the problem that Heroin exportation was not a big issue for the USA, well yes, but it is for the UK.

    And Mr Blair has smugly did nothing to stop the trade for fear of upsetting his future circuit tours of the US , no doubt.

    Finally ,wasnt Al Queda a cold war creation of the CIA and MI5, of course in those days we called them Afghan Freedom Fighters.

    Good points Snaw, unfortunately our dependency on Middle East goods such as Oil and Heroin makes that highly unlikely.

    Good to see some deserved criticism of that awful Saudi regieme.

    Every Briton should feel disgrace at the obscene amount of arms sold to that awful country by the UK.

    Ditto with the fact that the Taliban eradicated Heroin production from Afghanistan, sadly the US has turned a blind eye to the Warlords who are now exporting their deadly harvest in massive amounts to the UK.

    The war has not created a democracy in Afghanistan but a Narcotocracy.

    Another fine mess Mr Blair ...
