Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

I can't say that I think any of it has any importance. The public don't care either.

Wait and see, when it the topic is massaged at the time of the election.

Cynic,

Transferring from TCG thread.

My memory for many things surprises me.

Wish it was the right things.

But it the ME is a sad place to be at the moment.

In the 90s I was going to drive the tank there, but Bush put and end to it as I was driving an American model.

Thought of driving down into Morocco before this Xmas, but think it wiser to observe from a distance.

As you are a "democrat" have a listen to :-

My time span coped with it so you should be OK.


I thought a very interesting perusal relevant to the ME at this point in time.

Churches Burned in Egypt as Muslim Brotherhood Targets Coptic Christians Amid Widespread Unrest

morsi called for all none muslims to be removed from EGYPT

Saudi king backs the army to defeat the terrorists in Egypt .
who are out to destroy the country .

Egypt's Christians are living in fear after a string of attacks against churches, businesses and homes they say were carried out by angry supporters of ousted Islamist president Mohamed Morsi.

As police dispersed Morsi supporters from two Cairo squares on Wednesday, attackers torched churches across the country in an apparent response.

'People are terrified; no one dares leave home,' Marco, a 27-year-old engineer, told AFP by phone from the central city of Sohag.

The city has become a ghost town, he said, describing an atmosphere of terror where attackers 'know where the Copts live' and torched several churches before turning to homes.

The Maspero Youth Union, a Coptic Christian youth movement, denounced what it called a 'retaliation war' against the religious minority which makes up around 10 per cent of Egypt's population.

The group accused Morsi supporters of targeting them in response to Coptic Pope Tawadros II's support for the July 3 coup that ousted the Islamist leader.

The Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights (EIPR), a local NGO, says at least 25 churches were torched on Wednesday and Thursday, and that attackers also targeted Christian schools, shops and homes across 10 of Egypt's 27 provinces.

Iraq's Chaldean Christian archbishop Louis Sako told AFP that one of his community's churches was among those targeted on Wednesday.

For Marco, the attacks against the churches were not a surprise - Christian religious buildings have been targeted before.
