" football fans shot dead
Two Swedish football fans have been shot dead in Brussels tonight UEFA have cancelled the Game between Belguim v Sweden.
I suspect the Swedish fans have been targeted because Sweden refuses to ban the burning of the Quran/ Koran stating it is freedom of expression.
Freedom of expression which is leading to antaginising a bunch of religious basket cases.
So in the last few days there has been a school teacher murdered in France along with two others badly injured.
If this carries on it could lead to the Rugby world cup final being cancelled or played behind closed doors
What a bloody mess,one bunch of nutters winding up another bucnh of head cases.

Re: " football fans shot dead
But James, there is one vital point in all of this.
Freedom of speech.
Once that is shut down anarchy will prevail.
But I do not agree with the violence part.
Shutting down the Rugby final because there may be trouble is giving then a reason to continue the violence, it gets them results.

Old Enoch must be turning in his grave. If ever a politician was right, it was him.

Re: " football fans shot dead
Think old Enoch would be spinning in his grave if he walked into the commons or the Lords today and looked around the sitting members. Things would not be to his liking me thinks. But seeing as we live in a democracy he would have to accept it.

What on earth has Parliament got to do with Islamic terrorists that can only attack unarmed, innocent people? I had a personal friend, an MP, that was murdered by one of the scum bastards.

Re: " football fans shot dead
#3 Johnny you mentioned Enoch Powell and him being a politician , my ref: was what he would think today if he saw th ethnic mixture of the commons and the lords.
Yes it was a sad day that a decent man was murdered by a terrorist, same as it was a sad day the Joe Cox was murdered by a terrorist.
It is the sad world we live in Johnny.

Re: " football fans shot dead
There are forces in the background who are in control of so much that happens in the world today.
Men who control the finance, armament and so many other aspects of our every day life.
Some get into places such as parliament in many countries and use their influence.
U is no different now to any other country, with so many from other countries, and we are the same here in Oz with those from 187 different countries,
so to see those appearing to be from overseas is nothing special any more.
