 JohnWaterman says: What a pillock! He doesn't get out much. pillock nFrom The English-to-American Dictionary What gives? As it is, you have to have a monarch. Do you want 'sour puss' forever? Intellectually, although you obviously do not agree with him, you at least know he has a functioning brain which is more than you can say for 'sour puss'. Her ability appears to be in spending UK taxpayers money while saving a fortune. Money isn't his god. To be honest: I'd rather be rid of the lot of them. Declaration I, Rasmus, understand the frustrations Muslims experience as a result of apparent Western misunderstanding and misrepresentation. I have, for a long time, despaired of the ignorant and thoroughly evil role of the tabloid media in deliberately misrepresenting Islam and reducing everything to the level of the absurd. I see the appeal of proper fundamentalism in a world, in my part of it at any rate, which is increasingly without meaning, without roots, without a spiritual dimension and which worships the God of Technology. There is much to be done.
