#1 So why don't they do what they must do?

#3 I hope Johnston is released soon, alive and physically unharmed.

Meanwhile, I spit on his colleagues and their idiotic white balloons. How about 10,000 red balloons (or is it 150,000, or more?) released for the victims of Arab and jihadi terrorism that is almost always whitewashed by the BBC (and that's just in its English service - it's chilling and appalling to consider the delusional poison that must spew forth in the Arabic service)? How about balloons for the IDF soldiers following elaborate ROEs to avoid harming non-combatants while hunting down cowardly thugs whose only SOP is to attack children, the elderly, school buses, and pizza parlors?

I wish all BBC staff good health, long life, and happiness, and their organization the odious oblivion it so richly deserves.

#4 Kidnapped BBC correspondents, why do they hate loggerhead turtles and northern fulmars?

#5 London colleagues and friends of Johnston on Monday also held a vigil outside BBC headquarters in West London, where they released 50 white balloons to symbolise what will be on Tuesday the 50 days he has been held hostage.

the always-effective "symbolic gesture" of futility

#6 Palestinian security services also know what they must do to secure Johnston's release, Azzam told the MEPs.

What's that? Drive up the price?
Any day now, right, Mahmoud?

#8 the white ballons will drift into the ocean where they will pop and strangle some dophins

PETA -- call your office
