I'm all for tolerance, but now it's gone too far. Four illegal immigrants have been charged with murdering 24 people, one as young as two years old. I'm amazed there's so little press coverage.

Oops sorry...
Interesting how the press steers the public idea of what's important.

Of course it aint made the news...Not with the likes of Jordan (sorry Katie Price)and Peter Andre prancing around singing A Whole New World...(Thats the shit that makes me want to puke about christmas)
And most of all that kind of news ruins christmas for the majority of people this month is all about magic, harmony and everything that is not real...Not about the people who are starving and wont have much to eat and suffering.

Hang on a sec............
This story has been on the TV quite a lot since it broke on Thursday. Granted, it hasn't made the papers as much as it should've though.
This is the tip of the iceburg with war atrocities.
Incidently, they are not illegal immigrants, but soldiers serving for a nation that is trying to restore order to a lawless country. As the UN has sanctioned the involvement of several countries trying to get Iraq 'sorted out' it defines why they are there..........even if the majority of us think its wrong.

Yeah, but it only became lawless in April 2003.

I don't think the UN has ever 100% OK'd US/UK troops in Iraq, and certainly not before they arrived. Kofi Annan retired a week or so ago and one of his parting shots is that he still believes the invasion was illegal.
Maybe not now, but definitely in 2003, the US/UK troops were illegal immigrants in a sovereign country. With weapons. Give me a load of Somali teenagers any day.
