Reply to: Anders Breivik up in court

[amcdonald]

A bit off topic but isn't it the case that the internet has the knack of rewriting history?

Yesterday, before Breivik mentioned Luton, Googling "Luton no go areas" would have brought up quite a bit on the subject. Now, for umpteen pages, there is hardly anything but his reference to it. It's a bit like the diminution of events that the mists of time normally brings to history but, instead of taking decades or centuries, it can happen overnight.

At one time most probably had no real grasp of world events because they never happened to read about it. Now we can all read about at the touch of a keyboard I am not sure we are any better informed.

I don't know about no go areas, but one of my neighbours drives up their regularly to buy clothing materials and for years had to go with a local as otherwise she either wouldn't get served or would have to pay much higher prices. Whilst she accepted by those who recognise her now, it's still indicative of segregation at some level

I wish they'd just killed him: Anders Behring Breivik and the tragedy of justice – Telegraph Blogs

Written by Dan Hodges - a Blairite cuckoo in the Miliband nest. He has worked for the Labour Party, the GMB trade union and managed numerous independent political campaigns. He writes about Labour with tribal loyalty and without reservation.

Think there are quite a few ex and present Labour MP's we could wish the same about

Luton residents have hit back at slurs on their town by mass killer Anders Breivik, dismissing him as a "nutter".

Addressing the Norwegian court where he is on trial for the massacre of 77 people, Breivik reportedly described "war-like conditions" in the multicultural Bedfordshire town and referred to so-called "Islamic no-go zones".

Now where is Suity when you need him

talking about the brits killing civilians, presumably by bombing, is talking about total war. A new industrialised warfare that targets the industrial base, which includes targeting the workforce, in addition to economic warfare, like sinking merchant ships.
not nice, but all sides did it. mostly.

Any soldier who has his enemy disarmed and surrendered , is obliged to take them prisoner or let them go. Going around shooting unarmed combatants is illegal, and its a war crime. Civilians more so

So there are two ideas here , that are getting mixed up
