There isn't a single part of this that is factually correct.

Oh and who the **** is 'sad am'?

We need to stop pretending to do something about ISIS, and actually DO SOMETHING.

All this nonsense about only attacking ISIS in Iraq is ridiculous and completely ineffective

The pretext for the Iraqi invasion was 'Saddam has WMDs which have the capability of being launched at Britain and would reach us in 45 minutes'. This was proven to be a lie, thousands were killed and some people got quite rich out of it.

Indeed we are, as ridiculous as it may sound.
The mainstream media gets the blame for that.
We are all robots here on earth to work hard daily, pay taxes and do as your told, without us, there wouldn't be productivity,growth and wealth,the elite wouldn't be so elite without your cooperation....ps.don't worry about outside terrorist threats though as our government will protect you.

Hearing Hennings friend, Kasim Jamil on the radio, he is obviously distraught - heartbreaking to listen too

It seems that even al Qaeda and other Jiahdist were against the beheading, recognising Hennings simple humanity towards suffering Muslims

I suspect that cVnt jihady John is a dead man walking - Lets hope so

All hope for humanity over there is lost IMO.

You can't argue or even reason with this kind of idiotic thinking: "This man is Western, its his fault so lets behead him".

Whilst I agree the Iraq invasion over WMDs was bollocks and in part led us here. IF these guys wanted peace, they wouldn't do this. I'm the most cynical of most people, but if there was a time to meddle with foreign affairs, this is it....this is from someone who didn't even think the "Iraqi supergun" would have even been capable of doing what it was alleged to do.

BUT not the UK. Nor the West at that. It has to be collective. If the neighboring countries want our help, we'll give it....but THEY must be the ones making the stand, not US.

I was born a white Christian but now I am not religious in any way, but I have the right to go to anywhere in this planet down the local shop or to Syria, hoody's, junkies and Muslim extremists should not stop me FFS and if they do I would like to think the government has got my back as they say "never bite the hand it feeds you even Boris Johnston ( reality check required) and David Cameron needs to remember that, I as a tax payer pay their wages to protect me as a Brit.

Time to send our boys and girls on the ground IN to stop any more Brits suffering at the cowardly Cancer that is IS. If they want a fight pick on someone their own size as they say, a crack armed SAS soldier not a unarmed aid working cabbie. As it stands they are having a free ride to terrorism.

What I find hard to believe is that If I post some **** in the internet the cyber police would chap on my door, I would like a Tornado GR4 missal laden to chap on the door of the IP address that posts the video of the beheading on the internet with a few paveway missiles . This would be a great start that's the warning the British government should be sending out.

Power vacuums are a very dangerous thing. You get nut jobs like ISIS rising when there's no law and order. It's amazing how quickly a society degenerates in to a state of anarchy.

He is living in Cuukoo land, he dosen't have the right to go anywhere on this planet and the government do not have his back either, I bet the poor bloke who have head their heads hacked off were of the same mindset as well.

As will anything your beloved government come up with as they do not understand the enemy. These people have different values to the West. They see dying at the hands of the West as an honour and a privilege. They are not beatable by any Western military tactic short of complete obliteration of them, the civilians they mix with and the land they inhabit... and (rightly) that is not going to happen!

So the government don't understand the enemy. But you do?

Why the *** am I paying all this tax for security services, Foreign Office and armed forces, when instead they could just ask you ?

I didn't say that. I wish you would learn to read.

The difference is I am not claiming to be able to win a 'war' against IS just to appease those who 'want something done'.

Obama was at his most honest when he said he didn't know what to do about IS.

Come back to this thread and call me all the names you want when we have 'won' the 'war' against IS. I shan't hold my breath as this will be another long drawn out mess where we will ultimately cease operations having achieved nothing.

Well our governments response so far can be best described as half-arsed.

There are no good options here though are there? Either we stand aside a hope everything goes away, or get involved and hope we can achieve some kind of result (whatever that looks like).
Most of the world leaders have already acknowledged that this is going to be a generational struggle.
I guess it will be a struggle whether we're proactive or reactive.

It will amount to nothing, but as long as the politicians can convince themselves they are doing something about it then they will be happy.
