Maybe if the smugglers and pushers were handed out some real punishment, and the immigrants found pushing were deported we might have a chance of winning this war, because people, that is what it is, a war. Every drug user is one less soldier capable of doing his bit when the enemy decides that the time has come.

When you say “the enemy”, do you mean radical Islam? Because I think they decided the time should be September 2001. Or the Ruskies? Germans? Some hypothetical group of brown people maybe? Whoever it is, it’s such a pity you won’t be able to get a cheap flight on RyanAir in time to join the fray. But at least you can direct the battle from the internet.

    Come on now, Graham, put down the spliff. Have a glass of water and get some rest.

    Onward (white) Christian soldiers!

    Although I quite like the brown Christian bishops as they hate the gays as much as I do. Bloody American Bishops coming over here and splitting out Anglican Communion.

    FACT!

    Graham should co-ordinate with Anthony Karas in his war plans - Anthony even knows where to strike first!

    Reality check. The police in every Western nation - and most other nations, including China - are fighting a daily battle to stop the foot-soldiers of radical Islam blowing up innocent people on buses and trains. Just because they fight for a religion rather than a government, it does not stop them being a threat. The troops of tomorrow are hanging around in Bradford and Birmingham today.

    Nonsense, Ryanair have just started flying from Beziers. Our Graham is right on the front line, if he can tear himself away from cheap Languedoc wine - I bet he’s disgusted that he’s moved to France and found that Beziers is full of North Africans. National service for the lot of them!

    Do you think they actually sit at home with their front doors triple bolted thinking the entire nation is under seige by little brown blokes?

    It’s funny because it would explain why the police do not respond to their frequent calls complaining about perceived anti social behaviour. Yet they won’t cut the authorities any slack?! Despite this daily battle.

    ‘Pushers’ - how terribly 1980s! Next thing we know he’ll be blaming Jackie for breaking up with Zammo

    I wish there were some ‘pushers’ round my way - I have to go through a right fucking runaround every weekend just to get hold of a bit of weed!!

    Presumably this is the War Against Drugs. So what he’s saying is that each drug user is one less soldier to, erm, fight against drugs.

    Of course he must be doing his bit on the south coast of France there. Splashing about in a pedillo with a captain’s hat and a plastic loudhailer, challenging all the yachts and speedboats that approach the coast to let him aboard so he can do a search. The hummingbird’s beef curtain.

    damn my eyes, i thought you said splashing about in a peedo

    if only the thick druggies thought more like the US government they could get together and invade the countrys with drugs to help bring prices down, thereby ending the war on drugs. they’re too busy waiting for their mate to come back from teh all-night garage though.

    Ah yes. The war on drugs. As idea right up there with prohibition and celibacy.

  10. on 05 Aug 2008 at 12:31 pm Mim

    But the US army were on possibly 85% of the drugs in the world in Vietnam and that went completely fine. Silly man.

    Also, if an occasional spliff gets me out of actual trained killing that is surely a win/win situation.

    Bloody American Bishops coming over here and splitting out Anglican Communion.

    That’s a bit harsh. The Anglican communion could split over anything down to and including its biscuit choices if it didn’t spend so much of its time resolutely pretending that no it’s a perfectly coherent denomination and not a bit vague and open to horrifying schism if it talks about anything ever. Also, when people start using words like “apostasy” the C of E almost verges on being any fun.

    “Ryanair have just started flying from Beziers”

    If only this was a graphic design site…

    France has soldiers? what ever next!

  14. on 05 Aug 2008 at 12:48 pm Non-stalker Sam

    Quite right! Now I’ve stopped being a drug user I once again feel completely ready to maim and kill those dirty forrin types.

    What a gerbil’s growler.

    You’ll have to excuse me, I am still reading the Wikipedia page for “apostasy”.

    Although I thought all C of E members were apostates.

    That’s its whole point.

    maybe if we supply enough drugs to the users they will be incapable of acting when “the time comes”

    Jesus hates bummers. END OF.

    Jesus loves Gene Robinson.

    FACT.

    Nope, Protestantism and Anglicanism are big enough and politically successful enough to have avoided being heresies. Which is nice for them. And not at all inconsistent. Anglicanism is mainly about trying to annoy as few people as possible and then stamping on the rest on the assumption that they’re Evil Extremists who want to Undermine Our Way Of Life and make us all speak Latin/wear black and never smile again.

    This is why fundies make me sad with all their taking religion seriously and being quite scary and spoiling my fun. I like Christianity much better when it’s being bizarre several hundred years ago.

    Things here are getting too darn serious.

    Anyone see this one from the army bursary debate:

    If i was 19 and not 34, then i’d be an idiot again, but if i was 19 with a 34yr old inside me then i would definately take up an army bursary.

    Arf!

  21. on 05 Aug 2008 at 1:42 pm Far-Q

    And here’s to you, Mrs. Robinson,
    Jesus loves you more than you will know.

  22. on 05 Aug 2008 at 2:20 pm patroclus

    I can confirm at first hand that the area surrounding Béziers (not Béziers itself, probably for the reason that nibus pointed out) is chock-full of Mail-reading Brits who complain bitterly about immigrants flooding Britain, without the slightest iota of awareness that they too are living in a foreign country and that most of them are both unable and unwilling to speak the local language.

  23. on 05 Aug 2008 at 2:45 pm Mal

    if i was 19 with a 34yr old inside me

    Then you’d never get to be a bishop.

    Funny that the word “assassin” has roots in “hashish”.

    So I guess that’s “every drug user is one MORE soldier capable of doing his bit”…

    I’ve had a think about this theory and I have to conclude that what he really means is that Junkies are furthering the careers of insipid, derivative indie wank bands.

    Please elect this person president of the world. NOW!!!

    Only by eradicating the drug menace from this sceptred isle can we prevent The Enemy from releasing another record. Unless we can wean the kids off the skag and get them conscripted into the militia the Fratellis and the Kaiser Chiefs will soon be running the country and we’ll all be right royally fucked. End of. You have been warned!!!!

    Maybe PoshFenTiger could emit even less C02 (or whatever it is called) into the environment by not breathing.
