Money well spent, I'm sure you'll all agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccc Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 One country that certainly has the opposite problem to the UK's rampant misandry. Being a burd over there must be brutal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blobloblob Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Just for women I hope - not for men too? That would be completely uncivilised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1929crash Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 It's just like bloomin' here. They end up all the same. Yes, but even Nick Clegg wouldn't agree to stoning just to get into government! Would he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LC1 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I'm just glad this has been brought in under a fair and transparent democratic system. Just imagine if we hadn't spent over a decade at war there and this had happened under a non-elected Taliban regime... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a great deal more brutal than being a bloke. I just wish we hadn't been forced by Bliar to squander the lives of so many young servicemen and women...for what?

That they didn't die and get mutilated in vain will be a relief to the bereaved relatives. Poppies... The new opium of the masses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
