The government “cannot guarantee 100% success” in its fight against terrorism
John Reid
The BBC headlines are as moronic as the comments but more depressing.
With a bit of luck they’ll have a “debate” about this on the boards so we’ll get a brief chuckle out of it all.
Hi
A Star Trek comment. Although i like Star trak i think we are far from saying a none emotional and feeling load of nuts and bolts and a heart and brain that is only working because someone as programed is entitle to right a non starter, because you are not giving them right but the person that build and programed it them rights

What now?
Seriously.. what?
Ah, the Neo-European Uber Liberal Left appears [...]

Been watching this poor fool for some time. She (he?) used to just get annoyed about the “Left” and has been slowly adding adjectives in what I can only presume is an attempt to add weight to her “arguments”. Quality stuff. Could really do with adding “crypto-something” in there to round it off.
No, no, no!
A robot could come back from space and tell you the chemical make up of an atmosphere but it could never appreciate the beauty of it. Using robots for all ‘dangerous’ missions would take away the wonder and curiosity of it all, and without curiosity what’s the point of doing anything?

I’ve got a job for you. There’s something taped to the bottom of that car over there… yep.. about 100 yards past the “Police Do Not Cross” tape. We’re very curious about it. It could be literally ANYTHING… Mayonnaise, cardigans, high-explosive, beetroot… WE JUST DON’T KNOW. We don’t want to send the robot because it just won’t enjoy it like you will. Off you pop.
You’ve seen the current robots from your Sony dog mimicking a real dog quite well, to the astronaut looking robot who walks and moves in a human structured way.
Just think about what you have not seen and most people are not ready to see because there mind set cannot understand the advances in technology. [...]

If they go much further and invent, say, an “Electric Rollerskate”, it might just BLOW MY MIND.
I used to trust GMTV above all else. I’ll never phone a premium line competetion line ever again. It is all a big con.
Hyder Pirwany, Okehampton, United Kingdom
I’m sorry that GMTV broke your heart. Perhaps some magic beans could make up for it? Only £500 for a bag of 20. Remember, they’re magic!
Anti-Americanism? It was we who opened the eyes of hundred million generations to the light of democracy! It was we who, for a century, preached hatred of kings while you languished under their rule! It was we, who saved the world from facist dictatorship when your people became too apathetic or too poor to do anything about it. I speak three languages, am educated, and have seen Europe. There is nothing you have that we haven’t given you. GOT IT?

Bless.
For too long, particularly under the Scottish dominated Neo Labour “project”, the English have been second class in their own country.
The mere fact that the BBC needs to ask “Should St Georges Day be a National Holiday”, underlines just how bad things are, & just how far “Englishness” has been dumbed down since 1997.
This has had a positive effect though, the English have noticed what is being lost & are rekindling their nation & no longer accept that we should feel guilty for anything.

How exactly do you go about “dumbing down Englishness”? What is that sentence supposed to mean? Eh? Get a grip, you ruddy-faced xenophobic nincompoop.
People who drop litter should have their hands chopped off.

Your comments have been noted CK… all this hand-chopping talk sounds suspiciously ISLAMIST to me.
This should include MPs ESPECIALLY MPs , AND THE ESTABLISHMENT, LOCAL AUTHORITIES, AND ANY PUBLIC SERVICE, WITHOUT EXCEPTION, BECAUSE THESE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO WILL WILLINGLY LIE TO COVER UP THEIR MISDEEDS, AND THAT IS THE REASON WHY THEY WANT IT STO-PPED.

Jim, you don’t need to use the CAPSLOCK key if you just want to type a couple of letters (like ‘MP’) in uppercase. Use the button on the front of the computer box (not the TV bit!). It will be labelled “Reset” and it’s quite small so you might need to use a pen or something.
