One day we'll all be Europeans. This is an evil plot by the EU to supplant the United Nations as the One Ineffective World Government.
Should make that One World Ineffective Government. That way it can be shortened to OWIG. To hell with it making sense, says I.

Though I guess Oi Wig is alright, too.

Outstanding.

The "UKIP candidate" for the Scottish parliament, Otto Inglis, has shown himself to be absolutely dreadful. This is the man Mr. Farage had hoped to push and raise the profile of.

Quote from: Thomas Paine
To argue with a man who has renounced the use and authority of reason, and whose philosophy consists in holding humanity in contempt, is like administering medicine to the dead, or endeavoring to convert an atheist by scripture.

I can't really think of any better place to put this, but a pair of suspected Islamists just beheaded a British solider in broad daylight in Woolwich.

That's absolutely atrocious. At least the suspects haven't been killed, we'll get some answers.

Also - the real danger here is the inevitability of reprisals. The situation is so tense down there things could get very, very ugly. I expect riots, and that's probably why Theresa May held that Cobra meeting. Just think - the thing that sparked the riots in England last year was, mainly, a young black man getting shot by the police under very shady circumstances. A soldier getting beheaded like that could be devastating.

I heard something about them yelling "Allah Ackbar" at the time. For my ethnicity, best case, that's true, having turned it into a bloody publicity stunt.

The victim hasn't been identified yet. My heart goes out to his family.

A video of a suspect with bloodied hands talking to the camera can be viewed here.

Jesus christ, this is going to be ugly.

I think we might even need a thread for this in itself, this is a huge event.

@Footjob, you can microwave most grains I've tried pretty easily through the microwave, even if they aren't packaged for it.

Oh great, just what this country needed - an incentive for yet more racial hatred on both sides of the divide.
