As I have been accused of spouting "dangerous" views on another thread perhaps it is time to dispel any ideas that I may be a threat to national security by sharing this snippet of information. Are you sitting comfortably (you know who you are). A close neighbour and friend is a retired Colonel and used to work in British/American intelligence. He served in Northern Ireland and was heavily involved in Desert Storm. In short, he is not someone like the rest of us who sits down killing time by talking b*ll*cks on the internet. He is someone who has been there, done it and worn the t-shirt. He is very much against the bombing of Syria. He doesn't believe that the bombing to date has achieved anything worthwhile and that future bombing will make any difference apart from maybe radicalising more young men to go and get themselves killed. He believes that there are other ways of disabling IS and dealing with the issues in the middle east that don't entail turning a pile of rubble into a smaller pile of rubble. His ideas are nothing new - cutting off funding, arms supplies etc. Better education. Dealing head on with the issues with the Saudis, Turks etc. As I say nothing new but this is a man who served in the army to a high rank and believes that we will not be made safer by the bombings. Now the usual suspects can call me names all day long and pretend that my opinions are somehow "dangerous" but come and spend some time in our local and this guy will wipe the floor with you arguments because he has seen first hand what continued violence has done in the region. And guess what? He also believes that the vast majority of Muslims want a peaceful co-existence. And guess what again? There are millions of people in the country who think the same way. So does that make us all "dangerous?"

Truly bizarre. Lets look at some of my "extreme and dangerous" views. Gay people don't necessarily want to live in Gay ghettoes. Gay people are just like straight people only have different preferences in partners. There are other ways of dealing with the problems in the Middle East other than bombing Syria. The majority of Muslims want to live peacefully. Hey, look at me, I am SO radical I am off the chart. And you say being the opposite end of the spectrum to Trump as if it is a bad thing LOL. If you think that bombing Syria has made us any safer in this country, good luck with that. You and Donald can hide behind your "I am not a bigot" bumper stickers. That should keep you safe.

I am not a "Leftie" so I don't have an ideological standpoint as you call it. I asked for evidence because I don't follow what goes on with the "Left" and haven't been aware of Harman, who I have always assumed is strong on women's issues, wimping out. If she has done then all I asked for was for examples. I read somewhere that she agreed to a segregated audience at one meeting but she explained that was because she was trying to encourage more Muslim women to get involved in politics - not unreasonable. As for me being "a network of trolls operating a parody account" seriously mate, WTF?

Is this actually true??? Evidence???

Donald Trump. WTF?

That's just showing passion though!

Would have ruled out Australia Duckhunter? Up to a few years back women were not allowed to drink in the same bars as men.

For someone who doesn't get stuck in Pelle seems to get more than his fair share of yellow cards?

Each game is different. Did you expect Newcastle to beat Liverpool or Bournemouth to beat Chelsea?

He is quality and in an ideal world we would have him and Toby at the back with Jose as back up. Sadly it isn't an ideal world!

Nathan Dyer is an excellent example. I though he was a mascot when I first saw him.

They clearly thought that Martina was worth a punt as a back up defender. Perhaps having seen him in training with the squad they now think otherwise, although he has still made the bench.

Lefties, pinkos and bra burners? The 1970s called, they want their Duckhunter back!

Shaqiri is 5ft 7 ins same height as Clasie. I agree that Wise wasn't in the same class as Ball and Scholes but I still think he could play Premiership football if he was young enough today. Apparently the average height for a male in the is country is 5ft 9 ins so 5ft 7 ins is hardly midget status. Anyone would look like a midget stood alongside Pelle, Fonte and van Dijk!

I didn't say that Hypo and yet I am the one making things up?

Since I put him on ignore my life has improved no end Lou. Don't get into it, life is too short!

Ah I see! Well I still think that we have yet to see the best of Clasie. Dennis Wise was no giant but he had a perfectly good career. I think Martina was a last minute panic buy who is no loner relevant now we are out of Europe and Bertrand is back. Fortunately he is on a short contract.

Palace are my Portsmouth. Growing up in South London most of the kids supported Palace. They used to turn us over quite frequently in the 60s and 70s so I often got a load of verbals. Selhurst Park was a regular for me until I moved away from the area but I still go with some of my old school buddies occasionally. This is a must win for me!

But he also seems to be a shoo-in as the next Dutch National Manager and his name has been linked with Barcelona (not that means anything of course). Mind you Poch is toted as a great manager and he has still yet to win anything.

The summer was the problem. We had unforeseen injuries and European football which probably gave us a squad that we wouldn't have now without those things. But we are where we are and it will be interesting to see what happens in January given the situation as it is.

I am not sure what a "binkie" is but assuming he is a favourite you do know that Ron dropped Clasie on Saturday and that Martina has hardly kicked a ball?

I am surprised that you are using that survey again Fry after Shurlock has already embarrassed you about your previous inconsistency Thanks also for putting words into my mouth. Not once I have said that it is ok to punish homosexuality by death and not once I have defended any kind of extremism, but you know that and yet you still make the point. I will put you back on ignore now where you belong.
