Thread Name: BS: Homs horror (Syria, 2012)
Subject: RE: BS: Homs horror (Syria, 2012)
I gave the source the day after the discussion took place, and the reason why Britain had decided to stand and watch while the slaughter took place and the rest of the panel that were involved in the discussion.
Your gunslinging mate even acknowledged it had happened and probably made one of the few sensible comments he has ever uttered:
"Sounds like the "typical" BBC Question Time panel it had only one person with any grasp of what is the right thing to do. The panel members? two politicians, the spin doctor who pushed for action in Iraq, a journalist and a comedian. And it is the comedian who got it right - now why am I not surprised at that - all the others have to be told what to think before they walk out the door."
Denying that it isn't true doesn't make it any less of a fact - Briain has been true to her word and hasn't lifted a finger to help stop the slaughter - the reason given was not unsimilar to your own - "I also fear for Syria's Christians if and when the regime falls."
The list of your 'soapboxing' statements has conveniently disappeared, but neither does that alter the fact that you made them.
Nor does the fact that you proposed the sale of anti-riot gear to Assad, which you still have to explain.
