So basically, you defaced your vote!
Or expressed intelligence by not blindly backing a two horse race , and trying to get what he wanted ;)
Maybe a few more hung parliments might help .

A bomber has been imprisoned for 11 years according to this article
Bomber .
But the BBC have used the wrong picture, this one is clearly not a Muslim......
Just to play 'devil's advocate', the article doesn't actually mention his religion - for all we know he could be a muslim. Hope you're not making the racist assumption that a white person cannot be a muslim.;)

Not really as it was a postal vote in the Southend West constituency.Ironically most of the posh voters in the Chalkwell ward, where my mate lives, switched their votes from Tory to Labour,who finished second there, for the first time ever I believe.
Bring in PR now.:soapbox:
Do you mean proportional representation or PR as in SUFC's public relations expert Geoffrey King ?
Oh.. whoever complained about the "Racist" post... shocking, absoultely shocking.
And back on topic - lets play the "% of muslims who are suicide bombers vs % of christians / atheists who are suicide bombers" game. Might not be right tarring them with the same brush, but they could help themselves here by not blowing themselves up.
A suicide bomber is ultimately an expression of gurllia warfare . I'm more worried about those nutters with access to, armies navies and air forces myself . The ideology dosnt matter the psycology of an individual willing to give their life with such a small amount of knowledge /information is the greatest fear here .
May i recommend to people to watch th eprogramme on BBC2 at 8pm about T.E Lawrence and one of the reasons teh middle east is in teh mess it is.

A suicide bomber is ultimately an expression of someone who has been brainwashed or, as has been the case on more than one occassion in the not too distant past, people with mental disorders who didn't even know what they were doing. That to me is a greater fear, that lunatics who scream 'Allah is great' are soul less enough to send such weak minded and helpless people to act on their will. The Koran does not condone these animals, it is for their own gain useing religion as a tenplate for hate. Take the religion away and it's stripped to the bare bones, hate for the sake of hate.
The Middle East is in the state it is through no fault of the infidel West. They had been murdering each other long before we stuck our noses in.

I must say I thought the first part was certainly an interesting programme but I'm not really sure that it shed any light on the current situation in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Maybe next week's sequel will square the circle but I doubt it somehow.
If you get a copy of Seven Pillars of Wisdom by T.E Lawrence it explains in depth what happened at the time .
That's a book I've been meaning to read for many years now.:)

Actually,I ordered a copy on Amazon last night.There's only one good second hand bookshop(for English books)that I know here in Barcelona and it's in Gracia which isn't convenient for me unless I can get there on a Saturday.
