All those radge ISIS fascist scumbags, freed by Turkey and on the way to town near you.
The Kurds sold out by 'partners' once again. It's canny shameful.

“Like” isn’t quite right - agree would be better suited. 
 

Turkey - holding the ‘sword of Damocles’ over the EU viz a viz refugees in order to secure funding and political support and taking full advantage of NATO membership whilst contributing next to nothing of any military worth other than geo-strategic coincidence. 
 

Maybe if the arms manufacturers and traders stopped making and selling into that region, and the diplomats stopped giving them credence beyond their worth, then we’d all be better off.

Not wearing it, the bloke in the picture has his glasses on the right way round.

Aye but everyone knows Dennis Taylor was a red. I mean, Steve Davis is now into cowies and techno. Taylor, He's the archetypal nemesis.

Sadiq Khan comes across as a very poor choice of London Mayor.
He’s very quick off the mark to advocate for the rights of people to protest and disrupt the lives of ordinary working Londoners.. Yet he’s hopelessly out of his depth when it comes to getting a grip of a violent stabbing epidemic in the capital, full of excuses and more worried about offending certain people groups by allowing the police stop and search powers., than he is about young people getting murdered.
Absolute disgrace..

There's no police and no youth services, hence stabby central.

That’s a very simple way of putting it Mark...

There is a complete lack of hope among youth, joining gangs is a ‘great’ way of finding something to belong to. Kudos and an income of sorts with all of the perceived opportunities that ‘county lines’ activities present.

 

It just seems to me that Khan has something going on in his head and heart that prevents him from making good decisions and prioritising the important issues of the day.

He ‘swallows a camel and strains at a gnat....’
