    But if you are not pleased, you can always use photoshop.

    Talking of which……

    Especially if all of your friends and family were put under house arrest, too. Just because they know you.

    Politicians! 😡

    Well the whole idea is to name the bridge after someone significant in Wembley’s history

    What, you mean Bill Shankly, Sir Matt Busby and Sir Alex Ferguson are all Englishmen??? :D:D:D

    None so blind as those who will not see…….

    The words of Pastor Martin Niemoller (if you don’t know who he was and what he endured, then find out for yourselves) seem rather apt here:

    “First they came for the Jews
    and I did not speak out–because I was not a Jew.
    Then they came for the communists
    and I did not speak out–because I was not a communist.
    Then they came for the trade unionists
    and I did not speak out–because I was not a trade unionist.
    Then they came for me–
    and there was no one left to speak out for me.”

    Mind you, he was probably a pinko bleeding heart rabble-rouser, too. :rolleyes:

    Ah – nothing like a bit of good old prejudice, is there? Much easier than bothering to discover the facts……

    Strange to relate, neither the MoD nor Amnesty themselves seem to know about this ban – but I’m sure you can easily provide a link to a reference.

    And we do have a bit of a track record in this country when it comes to fitting people up on charges related to terrorism, don’t we?

    Ask Terry Waite, Andrei Sakharov, and other innocents who have been held captive against their will all around the world what they think of Amnesty International.

    Or maybe they’re “bleeding hearts” too?

    There’s maintenance work taking place on the Photobucket server, Tom.

    They should be back later tonight. 🙂

    People have short memories, Snapper.

    They forget (or never knew in the first place) who it was that campaigned relentlessly during the 1970s and 1980s on behalf of dissidents locked up in the prisons and labour camps of the Soviet Union. Some may think it was Ronald Reagan, or even Rambo. 😉

    Of course Amnesty is not perfect – show me the organisation that is – but they’ve always been a force for good in the world.

    Comet, of all the mean-spirited blinkered and downright spiteful posts I’ve seen in this forum yours takes the biscuit.

    Well done – you should be proud of yourself and I’m sure you are. 😡

    But it was the hospital that moved this unfortunate woman to make room for Mr Jackson.

    I doubt his entourage unplugged her from the ICU equipment and bodily wheeled her from the room, so surely her grieving (and definitely not avaricious – no sirree) relatives should be suing the hospital and not him?

    The fact that he’s almost certainly considerably more wealthy than the hospital and already has more than enough problems at the moment couldn’t have possibly had any bearing on the bereaved family’s decision to sue him instead, could it? :rolleyes:
