Its a horrible world we live in these days

The gloves really need to come off in the fight against these animals.

Troubled times we live in & I fear that this country is very much at the point where past governments have given these people too much of a foothold.

The gloves really need to come off in the fight against these animals.

The gloves are 'off' as far as they can come off. Large numbers of airstrikes are directed at ISIS positions in Iraq and Syria every day, which is about as much we can do without boots on the ground (excluding special forces), and we've all seen the news reports of counter-terrorism 'raids' across the UK. The reason ISIS has been able to spread like they have in countries across the world is that combating them is not like fighting a conventional war. Like the Ninja in feudal Japan and the Viet Cong in Vietnam, they are everywhere, they could be anyone.

Why is a news organisation reporting on a news organisation reporting on something?

Hope the Americans don't see a need to close the viewing area at the Heath on the basis of this alert.

hi,
the first thing to do now is stop reporting items on them, because they crave publicity, it's a little known fact to the general public that Japan fire bombed the US during the last war, but there was no reporting of it, so the Japanese stopped because of the lack of result information. No in depth reporting of their activities, then anyone who is proved to have been in the danger area on "holiday", either refused entry back here or placed in an interment camp, quarantined till they can be checked.
I know some will say their human rights will be abused, and its big brother, even comparing with Germany in the late 30,s, but their aim is to kill, maim westerner's, that's it, you just can't reason, or even sit round a table and try to sort their grievances, this should be the civilised world's aim, to put a stop to their ambition's and ranting's, you can't talk to animal's who can send their own women and children with bomb's attached to them to kill and be killed, or film be-heading's or people being burned alive... we've got to fight fire with fire, stop pussyfooting about.

That's it my rant over, but honestly we've got to do more than we are doing...

Sorry, going off topic for a moment...

Do you have any more information on this please, sounds interesting and it's certainly not something I've heard of, so would like to learn more about it.

Here you go. Basically a balloon incendiary device. If they had sent over a few million at a time..., it may of had an effect..!!

Indeed, I'm not sure DAVEBRAD's description that "Japan fire-bombed the US" could be considered accurate when, despite almost 100,000lbs of ordnance being used against the US in these attacks, only six people were killed.

Agree on that one ****cks to the Human Rights issue, if you choose to act in this way I'm afraid you will loose all rights as a normal citizen of this or any other respectable country.

Yes there's talk on the news about counter-terror raids etc. but then the very next item is about those who have decided to join the fight in Syria etc.... Heck if these people want to leave give them a ticket collect their passports as they board the plane & cross them off the list as UK Citizens.

I'd even go as far as giving them a free mobile to allow them to phone home & let us know they've arrived safely in the training camp (get my drift)

As I mentioned we've been far too soft over the years & have allowed the 'cancer' to take hold aggressive treatment is all that will stop it.

Rant over normal service resumed........

BTW I'm not racist in any way, I'm quite happy to live & let live this current situation affects all races & religions, ISIS aren't Muslim they're pure evil.

How things change...

Back in the 1980s when the USAFE in the UK was the target for hundreds, nay thousands, of kilotons of SCALEBOARDS and SABERS, we mostly shrugged and said that was the risk-cost of having them in the country.

Nowadays a few nutters with knifes and IEDs threaten the USAF in the UK and the population lets the media whip them into a frenzy.

Get some perspective.

Chris, I take it you have never had the pleasure of reading the EDP before!! there motto used to be 'yesterdays news tomorrow'

[DAVEBRAD]

hi,
the main point of the devices and they were clever, was to cause damage to the country side, and they did start fires and cause damage, and hence the economy. Look what's happening now with forrest fire's, if it killed anyone then that was a bonus. With a news blackout the Japanese didn't know if the paper made balloon's were travelling across the Pacific, so stopped launching them...
