unbelievable!
Listened with amazed incredulity to the bleatings from some apologist for the Iranian regime as he made attempts, on the Today programme this a.m. to justify the detention of fifteen British Service personnel in Iran.
This pillock was calling for 'softer language' to be used by Tony Blair and others in the British goverment instead of the 'harsh authoritative' words used so far! My question is simple; is this guy in the same universe, never mind the same planet, as the rest of us!
Here we have Blair stating plainly that the detention was wrong under any form of law, and this clown says that it's being too strong! This Iranian apologist fool, wants us to use 'ammeliorating' phrases, and admit that the British were wrong, and probably at fault for Iran losing at football as well!
I know what sort of language I want to hear from our Government. Those words would include "immediate unconditional release" and 'tomahawk missiles' and other slightly firmer phrases! Let's see a little medical intervention, and witness a spinal transplant into British spokesmen, and see Britain standing up for her Marines and Sailors!

I find the Today programme too much to stomach these days. Just for the laugh, I listen to Five Live for about five minutes before I hit the off button. Institutionally anti-British to a man.
"probably at fault for Iran losing at football as well!" LOL
That reminds me. Could somebody explain to me why Britain and the USA are "allowed" nuclear weapons and Iran not? Genuine question.
Well, there you are, Dawkins - your answer. A simple answer in more ways than one.
Re stability: it wasn't too long ago when the UK was highly unstable, owing to the bombs of the IRA and other atrocities. Yet the UK was allowed to retain its nuclear "deterrent".
And I don't recall it was the Persians who nuked Nagasaki and Hiroshima, but another "stable" power.
Hence my original question.
"Now this is the Law of the Jungle -- as old and as true as the sky;
And the Wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the Wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk the Law runneth forward and back --
For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack."
(from Rudyard Kipling, The Law of the Jungle)
