"they are horrible, exploitative programmes IMO"
Still find the 'airhead' reference very offensive Mike, even moreso having been told that it is a reference to Eric Morely's annual meat market.
But if all her were to be honest, if was an attempt on K's part to steer the argument away from the awkward bits and make it something it is not.
I find nothing risable about the desire for world peace, something I would have thought we would all wish for - even Keith, for all his sneers (oh - and the "airheads and their beauty pagents" - nasty, debasing little phrase, whatever it was referring to).
This is not what this argument is about; it's about which particular brand of terrorism we are prepared to oppose and which (in Keith's case) we are prepared to ignore or excuse, simple as that - personally, I can't see the difference; if you use terrorist tactics then you can expect to be labelled a terrorist.

And btw;
"And please do not trot out all his dire rightie form again"
Didn't think I had - have only brought in his past support for the use of chemical weapons on civilians, which I believe is relevant to what is being discussed here.
Keith has done a wonderful job of nailing his own colours to the mast - he always does (as his fairy godmother, surely you have noticed that).
