With all that is going on, it seems the spread of ISIS seems to have completely disappeared from the news agenda. Those that are in the know, what is going on?
It only seems like a few weeks ago Iraq was on the verge of being overrun by the marauding barbaric mob.
They got most of the Sunni areas in the north and west of Iraq and have been defending there while attacking inside Syria.
"The hard-line Al-Qaeda splinter group has gained ground in Syria over the past five weeks, bolstered by equipment seized in a lightning offensive last month in neighboring Iraq."
The Iraqi army seems to have problems retaking territory without heavy support and although they have that in theory via either Russia/Iran or the US neither seems keen to do it. I assume because 1) ISIS' agenda is currently aligned with US interests (anti-Maliki and anti-Assad) 2) Russia maybe doesn't want it to look like they're taking sides in a Sunni-Shia civil war
The ECHR question ought to have pointed out that the Human Rights Act gives the Englishman no more rights and protections than he already enjoyed under Magna Charta and the Common Law.

The fact is that if you say you are depressed you can get a nose job/boob job/tattoo removed on the Nhs for free, and so people do just that
I can't really think of a non-patronizing way to put this. The fact is that the Daily Mail isn't particularly factual. You think it is, so you believe a lot of things that aren't true.
Ihr trugt die Schande nicht. Ihr wehrtet euch. Ihr gabt das große ewig wache Zeichen der Umkehr, opfernd Euer heißes Leben für Freiheit, Recht, und Ehre.

Funny, I thought it was another death for Palestinians weekend.
The take from Israel.
'In a special interview on CNN Wednesday night, Economics Minister Naftali Bennett said that incidents such as the killing of four children on a Gaza beach earlier Wednesday were entirely the fault of Hamas – and were no accident. “I think it is terrible that Hamas is butchering its own children like this.... Hamas is conducting massive self-genocide, taking women and children and placing them next to missile launchers."'
'I think it is terrible that Hamas is butchering its own children like this'
Let that one roll around your brain for a few minutes, destroying cells, bursting blood vessels & burning out synapses on the journey.
Israel is completely out of control. It is a TERROR STATE.
Perhaps if 2000 rockets fell on London last week, you might feel different. But I guess not; your type love sucking up to the muslims who kill their own and each other. It IS hate Jew week and you are a perfect example.

How many rockets fell on Gaza and how many people and buildings have been destroyed?

Belay there, Cap'n Doc! 'twas said 'tother day that if Hamas laid down their weapons 'twould mean peace. If Israel laid down their weapons 'twould mean massacre and genocide. A guideline na'er a doubt, rather than a rule, but one to be afeared of. Belike.

No one says Israel should lay down their weapons just stop using them against women and children .
On a slower news day, I think the #10 spinners would have had to be working overtime. I wonder if Clarke will provide further "helpful" comments in the run up to the GE now that he isn't tied to the reservation.

Shan't spoil it for anyone, but if you're the sort who sometimes watches highlights and sometimes doesn't, I'd advocate watching them this evening.
