I witnessed people spitting on the coffins of British service men and women arriving home from Afghanistan, I am yet to see or hear a public apology for those actions in any hastily assembled self beneficial news conference.

You're engaged in an important conversation, but this one was started by and is hearded along by a puppetmaster - the guest troll who has called himself many things over the years. This week he is "Alan." If it goes pear-shaped at some point, you have been warned.
