Arthurian Legend

"Once back here I got to thinking - 'how do I get out of this?' Perhaps the really haunting spectre is that I would have to turn my back on the lake, and the prospect of the sword." Alan Clark, Diaries - 19th May 1999

What to do with a problem like Iran?

Well, now that the hostages are on their way home, perhaps this idea from a Samizdata contributor can be put into cold storage.

"Blair should offer an apology through the UN to secure their release.

As soon as the servicemen are free he should issue another statement revoking his apology.

The Royal Navy should then mine all Iranian ports and destroy Iran's major cities through the use of the Royal Navy's cruise missiles. The British government should order the immediate construction of 5 Nimitz aircraft carriers and make all Royal Air Force Typhoons flight-deck compatible.

The Typhoons should then systematically reduce the rest of Iran to rubble."

For now.


Arthurian Legend is off to Barcelona for Easter.

I THINK IT NECESSARY FOR PEOPLE LIKE YOU TO UNDERSTAND WHAT'S COING ON ! THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IS IN APOPLEXY, JESUS DID MARRY MARY MAGDALENE, THERE IS A BLOODLINE !
MUSLIMS ACKNOWLEDGE THE GOD OF ABRAHAM,THEY BELEIVE IN THE GOD OF MOSES, THERE IS NO DIVISION.
THERE IS ONLY MISSUNDERSTANDING.
THIS MODERN CRUSADE IS OF MAN'S MAKING!
'RELIGIOUS' TRUTH IS A MATTER OF 'FAITH'.
TEMPLES WERE PLACES OF 'WORKSHIP' NOT 'WORSHIP' THE PREISTS WORKED FOR THEIR 'GODS' AND IN RETURN WERE REWARDED.
WE NEED TO DISCOVER THE TRUE ORIGINS OF 'FAITH' PRIOR TO OUR PRESENT RELIGIOUS CONTEXT.

What did the Arthurian Legend think of Gaudi in Barcelona? Did you manage to refrain from breaking out into Queen's furiously catchy "Barcelona" tune whilst touring the streets?!?
