Of course not. The idea that the U.S neo-cons would wave away the evidence and take on another regime which was not out to harm them specifically and ignore the one that was in order to keep petrol prices stupidly low at home and to bulge their own wallets whilst doing so should be put in A Comedy Room 101 where it belongs.

It didn't really. This is a nation that has spent roughly 220yrs of it's roughly 250yrs of existence in one conflict or another.
What DID CHANGE THOUGH was 'Homeland Security' etc etc.
Hmmmm...........

Buy Litecoin.

Yep, on this page with you Tux. Funny how nothing is actually, truly being done to stamp this so-called "existential threat to Western civilisation" out at source......

Well I think Simon's head is large; always involved in espionage. (Name that tune)

Meanwhile, thanks to completely open borders, our other Moroccan friend (I know, it's hard to keep track: this was the one from Barcelona) could be anywhere in Europe right now.

Let's play a game: how many national "borders" do you think he crosses before caught?

I'm going for 3.

Authorities report the manhunt is now Europe-wide. The game's still wide-open. I'm still sticking with 3.

I really hate the idea that we can excuse or explain something based on 'human nature'. It makes no scientific sense, as Darwin was keen to point out: what his theory of evolution showed was that nature is constantly in transition. There is no 'fixed' nature, and he challenged his peers who assumed survival of the fittest was a vindication of ruthlessness by pointing out that most survivors escape extinction by learning to co-operate with their environment.

I'll give another example. The most popular evolutionary theory of the brain suggests that the inner cortex was developed in our reptilian ancestors. This was territorial, focused on aggression and had no capacity for empathy. The second development - the mammalian - included emotional receptors which envisioned community, family, protection of the pack as the best means of individual protection. We see this trait in primates.

But the final development was the cerebral cortex, which makes up 75% of our brain and is responsible for ideas, order and consciousness. This is the distinctly human part of our brain. It has allowed us to invent tools, dream of the stars, and empathise with all those around us.

Now i still don't think this understanding of the brain indicates how we should act in certain instances. It suggests a conflict between our cerebral desire to empathis and our reptilian desire for territory.

But nowhere in our brain is Islamophobia hardwired. Einstein pointed out that no child is born racist, sexist or hating any religion or culture.

You choose what to believe, you choose how to behave. You can choose to believe that Spain is an Islamic country and you are a crusader who must scare it in to submission. You can also choose to believe that Britain must protect its culture by shutting off its borders to those in need, even if the result of that is thousands fleeing war drowning in the sea.

Personally, i believe that when it comes to life and death, no border should be strong enough to kill. Our era is going to be defined by largescale migration away from droughts, flooding and war, and we have the power as a species to protect as many of us as possible. The idea that we shouldn't because these people threaten our culture is, i believe, an anti-humanist position.

If punk ever happened I'd be preaching the law, instead of listenin to Lydon lecture BBC4
