Those who live by the sword...
If one of the honour guards goes temporarily sane and bayonets George Bush during his forthcoming state visit to Britain, I doubt any jury in the country would convict him. It would be a case of self-defence.

Please cancel my subscription. If it wasn't for Mr Bush and Mr Blair standing up to tyrants we'd all be speaking Iraqi by now and eating dumplings or whatever it is that those dreadful people eat!

I totally agree with the lady. (Don't cancel my subscription though. I rather enjoy the crossword.)

The man believes in the death penalty and no doubt believes all the more strongly in it in the case of thousands of innocent people being massacred by remote thugs (such as the pilots of bombers and the droppers of cluster bombs).
Ergo....

Strange thing is, if this was written in the states, the author would now be targeted by the FBI and CIA and Homeland Security and every other government agency as a potential threat to national security. In the land of the free, one cannot suggest the intentional death of the president without fear of incarceration.
So, you are now being investigated. Expect to hear the boots on your doorstep soon.

I agree with the American lady!
If the Feds (ooh, hark at me) come here I will congratulate them on being in the employ of a man whio has initiated the deaths of 67,000 dirt-poor civilians in a variety of ways too ghastly to contemplate but nevertheless very instructive. pour encourager les autres as they say in Sweden. Being killed is the only thing those fanatical enemies of freedom monsters understand.
Yes! Monsters! Kill them all.
Amen.
Now, if you'll excuse me it's time for a nice cup of tea.

We have taken a stable secular country, devastated its infrastructure over 12 years, degraded its military capabilty so as to make it militarily unable to fight its way out of a paper bag, introduced breathable drinkable atomised depleted uranium into the landscape, hindered the supply of drugs to the country and raised its premature rates of death from fisrt-world to fourth-world levels, aided and abetted its previous dictators to ensure that no political resistance to tyranny could emerge, slandered the country's name by linking it with causes in fact diametrically opposed to it, and then declared that the country is in need of rescuing and being led to freedom. We have chosen to this by introducing more atomised depleted uranium into the landscape, bombing what remains of the infrastructure of the water supply, and by dropping cluster bombs and thousands upon thousands of tons of high explosives onto the conscripted youth and civilian populace of a sovereign non-belligerent nation half the globe away from the principal aggressor.
It is good that the FBI should look into such matters.

Sir, I am sworn to uphold the laws and constitution of the United States of America. I can assure you that if even a fraction of what you allege is true the president would be placed under arrest.
Here is my pledge to you. I will look into this and act upon my findings without fear or favor. My allegiance is to my country and its constitution and not to its symbols or representatives who have strayed from them.
Do not think that I make this pledge simply to fade into the background. You will hear from me.

I have looked into that matter and have established that matters are not as simple as you paint them sir. While on the surface the position appears to intersect your thesis I have to inform that whilst I cannot go into specifics duer to Matters of National Security all actions that have been taken have been in the interest of Freedom.
Furthermore I exhort you to forget that you have ever entertained doubts that this is the case. To do otherwise can only offer succour to our foes and that is a situation which will lead you to a dark room in Langley Va where you will be invited to explain just where you have come across such notions which can only comfort our enemies.
I trust this finally answers your doubts about the great legitimacy of the task our Nation is embarked on.
Hail.

Yes. Thank you. I am reassured and have no shame or embarrassment accruing to me to have been proved so spectacularly wrong in my previous assessment of the situation.
I am humbled and publicly foolish.
Hail.

I was quite surprised that anyone from St Raphaels would even read The Willesden Herald. I mean New Orleans, yes, but St Raphaels - that's a bit too remote and isolated, I would've thought.

The reach of The Willesden Herald is like that of the children of light and the children of darkness...it is truly global Ed.
Your vision in the days back when you stood outside Willesden Green tube as a kid on windy November afternoons with your stencilled news digests for sale at a penny each, satisfying the hunger of returning workers for news of this great crazy rock on which we spin through space on an elliptical orbit around the sun at 66,000 miles an hour...remember?...that vision has grown and now bestrides the globe, and this text inputted at Herald House is read on the Kamchatka Peninsula, and in the clubroom on Kibbutz Kfar Ruppin, and in the End of The World Cafe on Tierra del Fuego just as avidly as it is devoured by news hungry denizens of Willesden in Thabo Mbeki Mansions up Cricklewood Boulevard.

Indeed...indeed.
I know that issues 1 - 6 are practically unobtainable but we do have issue 7 framed down here on the Print Room wall...a double-sided stencilled digest of that day's news with its bold banner heading.....
THE WILESDEN HERLD
Oh if we could only return to that simpler world of grazed knees and daisy chains and elderberry cordial and french skipping and cat's cradle and the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

I resent that very last remark. We could leave our back doors unlocked in those days. Not like now.

Indeed you could leave your doors unlocked in those days madam. And you'd come home and find the Luftwaffe had blown the damned house to kingdom come.
All this nonsense about the good old days.
40 million Europeans and Asians blown to smithereens in 5 years, although, yes, they did have their back doors unlocked at the time.
