*Dadadada DA DA!!!!*

Another English leftie to save the day!

Now I just have to think of something to say.

Magness - either I am part of the problem or part of the solution seems to be the gist of it so far. Well I have to say that what is happening now is no solution in my opinion and the US and UK caused the problem in the first place. We can't just march into someones country and stifle debate by comparing protesters to mass murderers! I am not Osama Bin Laden and have no wish to kill any people at all.

That is the point.

I do not support his actions, neither do I support killing him without a trial, or bombing the country he is living in at present. In fact the newspaper I have just finished reading and is sat in front of me has a headline "From horror in the US to devestating war on Afghanistan" followed by "Solidarity with the victims of terror".

As for your insults of drippy liberals/socialists/communists I am quite prepared for anything I write to be met with a knee herk refutation. Though, as SC says I feel the need to point out that there aren't that many old school socialists around any more. We are a very different breed to the expectations of many on the right. All right, so I am a long haired student at the LSE... but there aren't that many of us! We do have brains and are not just idiots brainwashed by our scheming leaders. In my hall of Residence I am known as "Commie Mike" but I have not lost an argument on Communism vs Capitalism yet. I would love to take you on some time.

(I should point out that I haven't converted anyone either - they usually just sneer at me a bit then walk away when they realise they are losing)
