Good heavens Peter, that is truly shocking, I had absolutely no idea things were so bad down under, Australia certainly does not need these crackpots.

Well, the French president seems to be as good as his word, things certainly seem to be fast moving in Saint Denis at the moment.

No more leniency, no more talk of racial discrimination, etc, etc. Is the country at war or isn't it? If Isis could, it would exterminate us all. France is the first Western democracy to bear the brunt.

I'm afraid he will need to be very relentless and keep the pressure on.

Indeed, I see the Charles de Gaulle will be on station soon, very good news given that there will be a gap between the departure and arrival of the two American vessels.

It does make me think that threads - and now an album - about guns are a bit distasteful !

Distasteful is putting it mildly !

However, we must not lose sight of the bigger picture and that is the ideology of the Muslim faith, even "good " Muslims have a degrading attitude to anyone who is a non believer.

As for weapons, they can, at a stretch, be likened to Motor Cycles and Cars, it is not the machine/weapon that kills but the person in charge of them, we have showed our shock etc of what happened in Paris, what is the golden rule about not arguing over politics or religion, particularly in the ' pub ', it always ends in tears ???

Please watch this clip of Peter van Uhm, he was the Netherlands' chief of defense at the time.

Well, I don't know about "guns" but, given this weeks events in parliament, I dare say the CEO of Raytheon will be looking forward to his Christmas bonus.
