    These people are human. It's very easy to talk with them, and it's very hard for them to maintain their hate.

    Send the Mormons in!

    Why don't you volunteer to talk to them, @Omnium? But keep hold of your head!

    'For me, just bombing feels like we'll get all the downsides of a full intervention (making us an even bigger target, making the politics in that part of the world even messier) but without even the upside of having a realistic chance of doing something that would take out IS.'


    You really believe that ISIS will give the UK a fee pass because we are only bombing them in Iraq ?

    Mark Rylance reminds me of Sellers character in Being There...It is probably a surprise to him to find he is actually an actor..

    He reminds me of the actor in that Michael Crichton novel - being politically right-on, he enthusiastically denies the existence of cannibalism as the villagers lead him and his companions towards the pot...

    He will be on QT shortly then....as the "entertainment" industry now appear to have a weekly panelist slot.
    Mark Rylance may be a good actor, however, he, like a lot of the left are some of the biggest fools going. Talking about turkeys voting for Xmas, ain't in it. These starry eyed types are the first people Daesh and similar thugs, would kill if they ever got power over them.

    @Jack_Blanchard_: Blimey. Fighting talk from Red Len. "Any attempt to force Labour’s leader out will be resisted all the way by Unite” https://t.co/IODzJSddda

    They really are going to drive that bus off the cliff aren't they......

    I'd be happy to see you do that, too. I won't mourn as they slice your neck open, and I will laugh at your stupidity.

    There are many questions to ask you about that, but perhaps the most important:

    On their turf?

    I sense the mood is that we should bomb ISIS/ISIL/Daesh, call them what you will, until they are degraded beyond the point of being able to attract recruits or mount operations on our streets. That there will be innocents who die in such a campaign goes without saying.

    So I wonder, why just not open a couple of tins of Instant Sunshine - turn Eastern Syria/North Western Iraq into a glass car park? Much quicker, cheaper and more efficacious than faffing around with Brimstone missiles taking out a Toyota pick-up truck here and there and pretending we are achieving something. No need for us to do it, of course, or at least not alone, the Russians and the French have equal or better capabilities in this regard.

    Mike K..ISIS are renowned for their entertainment industry..lots of vids showing the very latest rapes of kids, hangings, beheadings, stonings, burning people alive, the comic relief comes in the sharp short pistol shot to the back of the head..apparently they cant get enough of it...sequels every day..

    Could you clarify your bands? Is it 0 to 4.99999% or 0-5 then 5.0001- 10 etc?

    I may be tempted for a nibble!
