#1 With apologies to Disney,

Outside the drinking, a guy with one eye and a hook can find a lot in common with this :

Yo Ho, Yo Ho! A pirate's life for me.

We pillage, we plunder, we rifle and loot.
Drink up me 'earties, Yo Ho!
We kidnap and ravage and don't give a hoot.
Drink up me 'earties, Yo Ho!

Yo Ho, Yo Ho! A pirate's life for me.

We extort, we pilfer, we filch and sack.
Drink up me 'earties, Yo Ho!
Maraud and embezzle and even hijack!!!

Drink up me 'earties, Yo Ho

Yo Ho, Yo Ho! A pirate's life for me.

#2 A4052 - appreciate the great humour but living in London and catching the tube every day, and in light of Madrid, lines like this perturb me:

On suicide bombings, he tells supporters: "You donât have to travel thousands and thousands of miles to become a shaheed [martyr] - you can be a shaheed right on your own doorstep.

Convenient flypaper for other Islamotwerps or not, he must be locked up. I think I'll move to the outer Hebrides while our government proves incapable of fulfillig its duty of care to the majority of its citizens.

#3 I totally agree Howard , our government is incapable of fulfilling its duty of care . The flower children who write wishy washy liberal media are to blame for this mess ,and the fact that the government relies on their votes . My opinion is being politically correct is soooooo 90's ... Its time to take the bit between the teeth and move forward in this millenium and deal with this threat with an iron hammer . Dont deport the prick , kidnap him and keep him in a little hole in ground totally isolated whilst maybe occasionally droppng a bacon sandwich ( haha ) down there to keep him vaguely alive . Failing that , dont he look over weight and heart attack prone? ...........

#5 The composition of the Special Immigration Appeals Commission ought to become a political issue in the UK. A nine-month delay now, after the previous ridiculous delays, indicates that the top apparatus is incompetent and indecisive.

#6 It's hard to say which is more amazingly insane -- this story or the Finsbury Park Mosque re-opening story.

What part of the Izzoids' message is not understood by the UK functionaries in those positions of authority responsible for these two decisions?

My sincere sympathies to our UK colleagues - this is right out of Braveheart - (paraphrasing) "God tells me I'll be okay, but I think you're fucked."

#9 What the hell is wrong with England? This crap wouldn't have flown when I was last there.

#10 Howard UK -

I didn't mean to unnerve anyone, but to humorously ridicule the Australopithecae
that we are facing in the war on terror helps.

Before 9/11 I was a service person working on phone systems in various buildings in the Los Angeles area. My employer at the time had clients in the "707 Wilshire" building, which is the 2nd tallest building in LA after the so-called library tower. We recently found out the "Library Tower" was a cicada(my spelling) potential target. I was scheduled to do a service call in the "707 Wilshire Building" on 9/11 so some what-ifs are going thru my mind as well.

#11 I appreciate humour and comic relief. I think I was grouchy because it was too a.m. This guy isn't so much the worry as the system's failure to deal with him appropriately in light of events like 9/11. My Uncle used to Maitre d' in Windows on the World. He's still alive tho'
