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.

Fishfinger,
Here's a list of Tower Hamlets councillors. Looking at some of the names, I think you can probably figure for yourself what they're doing....

The problem with internecine struggles is that they affect views in the wider world. The troubles in Iraq, Gaza, India, Pakistan and similar cause unthinking reactions of anti Islamic and anti semetism, which are wrong and target the wrong people.

Hays are you talking about anti semitism because we don't want a huge flag up at the entrance to an estate and British folk attacked because they don't like what it stands for ?

plenty of anti-semitism abounds both in uk and across europe, and i'm afraid it's a growing trend or even threat, depending on your point of view

EU reform? Dave should find that easy, says Boris: Johnson piles the pressure on the Prime Minister on Europe
London Mayor sets Cameron up to fail by boosting his chances in EU talks
Comes after Johnson confirmed he was looking for a seat for 2015 poll
Nick Clegg says Johnson's 'bumbliness' is a disguise for ruthless ambition

Boris Johnson yesterday piled the pressure on David Cameron over Europe by saying the PM’s bid to wrest back powers from Brussels should be ‘easy’.
A day after launching his audacious bid to return to Parliament, the London Mayor appeared to set Mr Cameron up to fail by saying there was little to prevent success in his European negotiations.
Senior Tories fear Mr Johnson is setting a ‘trap’ by demanding a string of unachievable reforms before he would agree to support continued membership of the European Union.
More Boris here:

At least I can listen to Boris for 20 minutes before losing interest in what he is talking about. It's called 'charisma' and it's quite important a politician has this skill.
But Boris in Downing Street? Most people would think it is never going to happen.
Hmmm? I'd like it to happen. It really would make politics good fun.
Bummer! Here are 8 reasons why it won't happen:

Hairy one,
Would you also provide a list of Jewish councillors, or those of Jewish descent in Golders Green!
Cynic,
aldo - fred's persistent non-answers are those of a retired civil servant of some rank i suspect or something of that ilk

Unlike you, who either doesn’t think, or is incapable of so doing, I try to think before making comments about other people, or their postings. (I may be less egocentric than you appear.)
However, I refer you back to some previous postings I made about the need to modify the United Nations Charter and remove the ability by a small number of nations to prevent implementations of effective policies.
Also, to give the United Nations an effective police and the military force able to implement decisions made by the United Nations itself.
Until the United Nation receives the responsibility and effective “POWER” is given to it, then you will continue to have abuses of human rights such as Ukraine, Gaza and Israel, Iraq, Syria, Africa etc..
Reforms of international law are also needed to prevent the abuses of some money flow and armaments provisions.
Needed with this is a permanent effective investigatory and policing force to monitor these actions and prosecute when it is necessary.
The EU, USA and others countries seem to be attempting to move in that direction.
I suggest you re-read my previous postings about needs of the United Nations now and in the future.
Also, read your own abusive remarks made at that time.
I agree with Obama, in Iraq and his policies in general.
(He has to take the people of America along with his actions.)
The “World” is too interlinked for primitive tribal activities which we are now seeing around The World and advocated by those with a “little Englander mentality”.
As far as flying the Israeli, Welsh, English or Chinese flag in Britain is concerned; if it is illegal enforce the law and stop it. The flying of flags is unimportant; it is what goes with it that is the problem.
If you don’t like the law, vote in a government who will amend the law to your satisfaction, but don’t squawk when the law is applied against you for having different stances to the ruling body.

now you've got that out of your system, try going back to the question asked and answering it ...... lest you have forgotten the question .....
US President Barack Obama on Thursday night authorised air strikes to halt the advance in Iraq of Islamic militants and prevent a possible “genocide” in a substantial escalation of America’s military role in the country.
what is the view of this board?
please do not get sidetracked down the "gaza route", as that is not the question asked
for myself, i fear the consequences of both acting and of doing nothing at all.
on balance, i just about come down on the side of action, but am happy to leave the amis to do the dirty work
