So let us have another 13 years of New Labour, and see how much they can or cannot achieve, they did such a fine job the last time around, illegal wars, gold reserves sold off for a song, some in the party that seemed to actually hate one another, and a Labour spirit, ethos that is long gone. They sold their soul and now there is no going back, and Milliband is not a good leader, i find him weak and not capable of taking the party forward

Actually it sounds a brilliant take on history teaching
Relating today's religiously motivated terrorists to those of 400 years ago.
There are a lot of parallels
Perhaps if you'd had better history teaching and learnt to look at themes and question sources instead of leaning facts and dates by rote you might recognise the value in such a comparison
He probably wasn't literally a suicide bomber - but only a D- student would take such a comment so literally

i was a good student and know my history, however many don't, there was a programme some time back where they asked the children about relevant dates in our history, and British notables who have shaped the UK, some of the responses were very worrying, as to what happened to Guy Fawkes, well we don't do that today, mores the pity.
There was a programme presented by Richard Hammond on the other night where they reconstructed the gunpowder plot in its entirety, including as accurate a replica of contemporary the parliament and exactly the same amount of gunpowder to see what would have happened if the plot hadn't been foiled. Extremely interesting. The conclusion was that even if the explosion had taken place and the king killed as planned, it would have made very little different to British history.
