Because Europe is a cancer, Islam is the answer.

Oh sorry. I get it. You've misunderstood what I've said and linked my comment to a beheading. There have been various attacks over the years, hasn't there minty. By the religious extremists you so despise.

Well the "little help from their friends" if there were any and who they were are the important questions.

If they acted alone I see little difference between this and the equally abhorrent killings of the two policewomen in Manchester.

That wasn't classed as terrorism and this should not be either whatever the perpetrators say was their motive. Classifying it as terrorism elevates (if that is the right word) the crime to a status it does not warrant.

Precisely. But this is the rubbish our national, taxpayer funded, broadcaster puts out as being balanced and reasonable and suckers that the person you answered buy it.

We should heed George Bush;'s words to the effect you are either for us or against us. We should do so by calling all British citizens to stand in public and declare their allegiance to the UK, a set of defined values and its laws. Those unwilling to do so should be asked to leave to somewhere they feel they may have more affinity for.

Perhaps we could introduce some sort of mandatory salute as well.

Well anyone who takes British Citizenship already has to do that. Are you suggesting that those born British should be required to do the same? When precisely?

Yes. Public ceremonies held weekly.

Perhaps they could be televised too

I think he just means the ones who are darker than 'warm beige' on the Dulux colour chart. What I'd like to know is, when those who refuse are 'asked to leave', where will they be sent?

"Hey, France, these people aren't British enough for us. You can have them."

No. Should apply to all.

Please, please tell me you're being flippant and that this isn't a serious suggestion. With anyone else I'd assume it was a wind up, but you post so many staggeringly stupid things that I can't tell which are supposed to be serious and which aren't.

Can I just point out that this is not a terrorist attack.

At the least, it's a racial assault ( or would be if it was white on black), at worst, it's a religious attack/assault. The 2 beng questioned are religious fanatics. You find these bigots all over the world.

Rip to the soldier.

I don't want to do that.
I'm English, My parents are English, All 4 of my Grandparents are English and I don't want to go anywhere.
Problem?

At the risk of evoking Godwin but WTF?

Why should I, a born and bred citizen of the UK declare allegiance to something I may not agree with?
