Yes that pesky paperwork getting in the way of minor matters like summary executions.maybe things might change after brexit? Or perhaps you & Dave could start the North Korean branch of the club.Mass internment was the best recruiter for the IRA in the 70s & constant abuse of human rights gave the Provos a base of support in the community.Making martyrs of these folks is pointless.
Good to hear your opinion, it helps balance out the conversation.
Q. If a person is stopped in the street and wearing an explosive vest that he has tried to detonate but it failed, would you:
A, Arrest him or her and give them a fair trial and then send them to prison to become further radicalised at your expense, a year later release early for good behaviour and then make excuses when their next attempt is successful after families have counted the cost of both death and injuries?
B, Stand them against a wall and shoot them, so they become martyrs, taking note that dead martyrs do not kill?
Yes there will be anger and outcry, there may be even more killings but, it may well make people think before they take up a belief that it is honourable to kill (without discretion) innocent people going about their daily life.
And the North Korean point you mentioned is EXACTLY my point, look at the news, North Korea is a nation hell bent on attacking other countries because our ideology of free speech/religion does not suit theirs but, I do not see their nation under suicide attacks from outside countries.
The UK has lost it's teeth, seen as a soft target, perhaps the last country in the world whose police do not have arms as a matter of course when on daily duty, a prison sentence is three square meals and pool table, mention the wrong word and your racialist, consider capital punishment and their is uproar, and cries of how CP is all wrong. I think the PC tide has come in far enough, it is about time it was turned a little. I live in Spain as an immigrant, I choose to come here of my own free will, there are things here that infuriate me see

I mentioned the EU moves to stop the closures of shop for the Siesta, the reply is it will not happen in this generation, and if anyone feels a little bored pop over to Spain and tell a Spaniard he cannot hang a Spanish flag outside his home...........go on......dare you!
