Cartoon Time

One wonders what the world’s coming to when the Foreign Office wastes our money on a cartoon discouraging terrorism.

Wish you Waziristan charts the progress of two young men off to do a Jihad, but what will the intellerati of the internet make of this and will I find some companions to dine with?

I’m in luck. The musings of Asdral set the tone rather well-

“Perhaps if we stopped allowing immigrants to bring all their ethnic baggage with them and ramming it down our throats…” they say.

I call them “they” because I cannot work out their gender. Perhaps readers could examine Asdral’s other comments for evidence, whilst being entertained by tales of drinking, surgery and an ongoing dispute with their father-in-law?

Anyway, Asdral continues:

“…actually wanting to integrate with the country who is giving them respite from their alleged persecution maybe I could care what any of them want.”

Quite right- if we’re going to let these so-called refugees, fleeing humanitarian crises that I’m pretty sure have been made up by the BBC, live in OUR country they should have the courtesy to learn one of the most complex and nuanced languages in the world on the ferry to Dover. Asdral concludes-

“Religion should be allowed but not at the expense of Christianity.”

A well-reasoned point, Asdral. Jesus is a fact. BlairM, meanwhile, blurs the line between fantasy and reality with

“I find it hard to believe that 2 muslims simply felt the need to go to a terrorist training camp just because they witnessed a 'racist attack'”

Given that the cartoon is a) a cartoon and b) based on a true story I’m not sure where that leaves us. However, I agree that there is no such thing as a “racist attack”, because there is no such thing as “racism”, only Common Sense.

MaxShalamar2112 from Engladesh continues the theme of sceptical quotation marks with

"Can we get a quote from "Baroness" Warsi?"

And Rebel44 has an idea for some interactive media

"save all our money and simply show a sign for 30 seconds that reads 'GET CAUGHT HAVING ANY INVOLVEMENT WITH TERRORISM AND YOU WILL BE HUNG'..easy."

The idea makes me not a little aroused. I might log on and watch that right now!
