fringo Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Good to hear. How much? Not sure. A huge chunk I'd have thought. Was watching France24 last night and one of the writers was on and mentioned it in the interview. Same one who was on BBC news at 6pm tonight.

thplinth Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Just need a giant bowling ball now. A giant sinkhole would be much more amusing and fitting...and it would probably result in a lot of people starting to think 'maybe there really is a God'.

Lamia Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Lamia, saw that article yesterday, it is a good one. Nothing new in the media placing far greater value on western lives than those elsewhere, but still needed saying. On another issue, I have found it curious over the past day or so how just how annoyed many people get when I mention to them that, appalling and totally wholly unjustifiable as the attacks in Paris were, having looked into it, many of the cartoons published by the magazine over the past few years were clearly racist. It seems somehow to be heretical to recognise this (I've read umpteen attempts on various sites to 'contextualise' the cartoons over the past few days), the assumption being that I must therefore in some way, shape or form be saying that the attacks were justified or the fault of the journalists. Which I'm not. And so it was ever thus - any one who ever says anything slightly different is always accused of trying to justify. And one thing many can never understand is that explaining is not justifying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goozay Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 You're right, Dave. And it could never have been any other way. It's the duplicity of the "World Leaders" that gets on my threepenny bits. They were never, ever going to walk with the masses in Paris. So what they have essentially done is to use the event as one big photo op. I don't see it like that. It's important that folk don't see Paris as a no-go area, otherwise "terror" wins. So by ensuring the world's leaders are photographed in Paris together the whole world can see that they were there. There's little point in all those world leaders going to Paris and them not being organised in one big photo. And as others have said to do that photo in a street that wasn't cordoned off and hadn't been "swept" would be too high a security risk at the best of times.

Bristolhibby Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 "voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country."

Pool Q Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) 10,000 troops to be deployed onto the streets of French cities. In London there are calls for troops to be posted outside Jewish supermarkets. I have little or no time for conspiracy theories but events of the past few weeks have me wondering.

They, Charlie Hebdo, courted controversy and occasionally seemed a tad more racist than satirical but in absolutely no way deserved what happened to them but I am surprised at the limited security measures they had in place.

phart Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Just started reading up on everything now, I wonder where the murderers got their "military training" from. Thye started off by saying Syria, but 2 days later the story changed to Yemen. Some video released a wee while ago claiming Yemen from some Al Qeada splinter group. The female member implicated is said to have fled there, and the named third guy has a cast-iron alibi. Long night reading shit, this is the start of...something...
