She may be leaving LBC, but she is still writing a lot of truth thanks to the Daily Mail.

Please read what she has put, before you condemn her, how can anyone disagree with this?

Who is going to protect 'our' children (hate-baiters and politicians always say 'our children



Well I'm not a politician so you must think I am a 'hate baiter' then?

andy-hughes, // it doesn't say anything meaningful.//

The headline is perfectly straightforward, but as expected, too difficult for you to answer honestly. ;o)

[andy-hughes]

Talbot - when you speak to people outside your family, when the term is obviously appropriate, do you refer to the nation's young as 'our children'?

I don't - I think it's sanctimonious and false - but if you do, then obviously that's your choice.

Obviously I did not say that using the term makes you a hate baiter or a politician - merely that they use the term frequently - but I think you know perfectly well that what you said is not what I intended.

Naomi - //andy-hughes, // it doesn't say anything meaningful.//

None taken.

[naomi24]

andy-hughes, What on earth are you talking about?

[andy-hughes]

Naomi - As you said to me yesterday, or the day before, or whenever, I am not playing your games - look for an argument elsewhere.

[naomi24]

andy-hughes, nice try, but it doesn't work. You're ducking the question. No surprise there!!

andy-hughes; American soldiers are not terrorists, a terrorist is "A person who uses unlawful violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims." they are there at the behest of the legal government of Afghanistan to help put down illegal Muslim insurgents wanting to take over the country and turn it into an Islamic caliphate.

\\\\ douglas - //'Hate-baiters'.

Care to expand a little - do you have any issue with the term? \\\\

None at all, when teenagers use it to like, be awesome in rhyme.
People who tie their laces and wear a belt shouldn't, it looks too '"cool" geography teacher'.

You miss my point - possibly deliberately.

Do you really think scared Afghan civilians debate the finer points of technical definitions when foreigners roll armoured vehicles into their villages?

The definition of a terrorist depends who and where you are - for instance, I would suggest that if I was wounded, and being shot in the head by a British soldier, I would not wonder too much about the semantics regarding the technical term for what he is, and what he is doing in my country.

So yes, on a level of pedantry, your point is valid, but I think the concept of terror is pretty much universal, and the lofty ideals of soldiers' masters may be lost on the people being terrified by them.

/// I would suggest that if I was wounded, and being shot in the head by a British soldier///

If you want to take a cheap shot at Sgt Blackman you could at least check the details you use.

[andy-hughes]

Baldric - you need to curb that willingness to see attacks that don't exist - I am fully aware that Sergeant Blackman's victim was shot in the chest - I was making a general observation - nothing specific.

Maybe you shouldn't be so quick to be offended on someone else's behalf.

[Baldric]

Not offended in the slightest Andy, and a Soldier is an Army classification unlike a Royal Marine who is Navy.

[Baldric]

The Corps of Royal Marines is the United Kingdom's amphibious light infantry force, forming part of the Naval Service..

Kept it simple for you and used Wiki

You are confusing me with someone who cares ...

[Baldric]

Not even I could ever do that Andy.

[Khandro]

andy; //Do you really think scared Afghan civilians debate the finer points of technical definitions when foreigners roll armoured vehicles into their villages? //

The thing your "Afghan civilians" fear for more than American soldiers is the Taliban entering their village and subjecting them to their warped view of Islam;
