God knows how Tony Blair thinks we can kill Saddam when we can’t even nail a lone gunman in an East End bedsit.

Funny, but completely wrong and playing to the populist superficial thinking.

That guy could have been shot on day 1, but can you imagine the backlash?

All the same, quite good

They took ages because the person involved was from an ethnic minority race. In the public eye it was far easier to play the political game, with the worlds media watching.

Hey one good thing came out of it there was plenty of overtime pay, its always nice to get some extra cash at the end of the month.........

That's right, bring race into it....

Nothing to do with the fact that there was the life of a hostage to consider too, of course.

Hey you lot.....Chill out a bit for ***** sake.

I only posted this a I thought it was funny.

Why does every thread have to turn into a race related topic or a public slanging match.

Jeeeeezzz.....Grow up, the lot of you.

Chill Mr Stuffer, I wasn't meaning that you were playing to the populist, I mean clarkson was.

He's brought up a good point, admittely, but I think it's a really shallow way of thinking by him. On the other hand, you could argue that it's thought provoking.

Sorry to complicate things
Nick.

Nick,

Sorry Iwasn't more specific. my comment was not aimed at you as your reply was fair and acurate.

It was some of the other comments that just seemed to be getting out of hand.

Sorry for the confusion.........

Why is it when anyone mentions anything ethnic these days they are called racists. Its complete nonsense. Biggest racists around are the ethnic minoities themselves.

Even heard today that the BBC are being told to show more progs with ethnic minorities in them. Expect theyll just show repeats of crimewatch in that case.
