#2 If not british colonial policy after WW1 then it would be the reconquest or the crusades. Red Ken doesn't get it, the bad guys have an agenda of conquest, yeah they may recycle his lefty excuses to convince useful idiots to sew decent but they don't care much about that really.

#4 Islam has been trying to take over the world since 600AD. Don't think they haven't stopped since getting thrown out of spain and the battle of Vienna. Now they are using the enemies in our own countries (see liberals) to do what they couldn't do through force of arms.

#5 Ken Livingstone, the mayor of London, yesterday stunned even his political opponents by claiming the terrorist attacks on the city a fortnight ago were motivated by British foreign policy in the Middle East.

Please continue, Sir, and dipense all of your wisdom as you wish. Pay no attention to any criticism.

#6 And I suppose the events of today just prove his point?

Perchance he'll be strung up by those who don't care about explanations anymore?

#7 Well We Iranians in general from very top to the very bottom and ofcourse not the very few old goats that godwilling sooner will pay for all suffering they r causing Iranian people in general and Die after. In our history from childhood we believe the Amercans in general are good freinds of us not including some of Generals who would not hesitate to bomb US itself just for the fun of it.

and all the Iranians are have always aknowleged that as history has shown many times over the English are running the show as they were the hated so much in the world that now they encourage Amerika to do what the Amerkans Have not done in their glorified history.

sorry for my Language but i think sooner Iranian people and Amerikan people come together all the plots of English and the Arabs will be useless.
GOD BLESS Amerika GOD BLESS IRAN and all the peace loving and just people of the world.

LETS say I am also a "PATRIOT" and love to see the film many times over to see and see how the brits were kicked out of US.

LOTS OF LOVE FROM IRAN to the people of US .

#9 Well, Kenny, when they terrorize me into agreeing with you, I'll send you a fax.

#10  "I have not the slightest doubt that if, at the end of the First World War, we had done what we promised the Arabs, which was to let them be free and have their own governments, and kept out of Arab affairs, and just bought their oil, rather than feeling we had to control the flow of oil, I suspect this wouldn't have arisen," he said.

Riiiiiight! Look what happened in Africa!

#11 combining his criticism of British foreign policy with a robust line on anti-terrorism laws.

Having your cake and eating it?

Another bomb? Tony's fault. More restrictions? I'm all for it. Give the government more power. When it has enough power, I will gladly accept the call to wield that power.

#12 Red Ken thinks British presence in the Middle East was all about the need for oiiiiiiiiiil in the 1920s. He also thinks Bin Laden was "recruited and trained" by Americans.

In other words, Dhimmi Ken is a complete ignoramus or a liar. Could be both.

#15 Wow, I had no idea I was part of the great conspiracy AvoicefromIRAN. Shall I tell our vassals in the States to Nuke a few sites in Iran to show you that you're right? It's not a problem, I've got the 'special for English only' number for NORAD right here...

How old are you?

  • If you're less than 30, then I discount what you say as you've been brainwashed by the education system of the Mad Mullahs (TM).
  • If you're between 30-40 then you'd have been 4-14 when the MMs took over, so you had a chance, but the brainwashing would almost certainly have got you.
  • If you're 40-50, then you'd have been 14-24 at year zero, so you ought to have known better, but don't.
  • If you're over 50, then I give up, you were a dope before MullahTime (TM) and you're just proving it now.


Cheers!

#16 Kalle, the Brits were in Iraq for the oil in the early 20th century (As the US was in Soddiland since the 1930s). During WWI and WWII, Iraq was a key supplier of oil to Brit forces. However, the intervening couple of decades saw the disintigration of the Empire, finished by WWII. Since then, the Brits have had a commercial relationship.

Ken's problem is that he a loony left tinfoil-hat-wearing moonbat.

#17 If Mayor Livingstone of London ever has a biopic made of his rise to power, I have the perfect actor to suggest. He's even English! Only one problem. The actor is dead...

#18 Red Ken is the Mayor of the largest city in the UK. He speaks for Londoners by extension, since it's residents seem to be perfectly happy with him. They elected him after all. Look for the pressure to cut and run, to do the "Neville Chamberlain" thing from the UK media and the “back benchers” There are also plenty of UK residents who hold to this socialist “pacifist” meme who are applying political pressure. Sorry to be blunt.

I would whack this fool up side the head if He crossed my path. A total creep and willing to sell out the US throughly. I can't abide him or George George Galloway and I am sure they both represent a significant portion of the UK citizens thought and feelings.

#19 In the US we have, for starters, Howard Dean, and Dick "Turban" Durbin...

Everybody has these types, and their cadre of sycopants...

#22 Bill O'Reilly was interviewing a British journalist about today's events. The journalist tried to explain that Red Ken is simply a colourful eccentric, but Bill wasn't having any of it when I turned the tv off (like the man's substance, can't abide his style). I think it's time for Londoners to accept that this particular "eccentricity" has been moved beyond the Pale by today's events.

#23 The good news is that Red Ken is a big fan of Churchill. The bad news is that it's Ward rather than Winston.

#24 It's possible you good folks have nailed the silver lining in today's attacks: that Red Ken is clearly shown to be a demented asshole, not a colorful throwback.
