Uh, maybe mr lizard is not sympathetic to his fellow Brits because he might be one of the "more recent arrivals" over there. There, was that PC
enough for the lot of you?
No, Mr Lizard is as British as fish and chips, earl grey and grey, unforgiving cold rain...
But, unlike you i don't go jumping onto any media bandwagon that just happens to roll past shouting 'persecute! Persecute!'.... I'm not defending
the actions of thos idiots might give her lashings or whatever, but don't forgot with any media you are not getting the full truth.
As far as we know, she's in good health, the issue is being debated, officials have visited her and even go far to say she is being treated
well....
For god's sake, don't ever accuse me of not standing up for my fellow brit, after all that woman lives about 14 miles away from me, but Liverpool
folk are tough and proud people and I'm sure with a little diplomacy, things will probably be sorted out.
Let's not forget, poor Ken Bigley, the man who was kidnapped and beheaded in Iraq, the guy who begged Tony Blair for help, but was refused... did you
see the Liverpudlians go mental and start blowing mosque's up or battering muslims? Did you hell! and why? Because despite bad press Liverpool gets,
it is in actual fact a very old city, with a lot of culture and understanding, it is the European capital of culture in 2008 and in that sense alone
says that we are brave, mature people who don't go around targeting the masses as a result of the actions of a few.
Don't ever accuse me of being unpatriotic, if patriosm means the concern of a fellow human (never mind a Brit), then I'll stand by til the very
end.
Of course I'm concerned, but I'm not a fool, we are not getting the truth, so why should I react, when I (like everyone else here) doesn't
understand exactly what is going on and we've only got Fox (biased) news to work on...
unlike you I do not swallow the media ejaculate that is forced down my throat.
Peace
