Maruco, That's not quite it. UKIP will only be allowed to join 1 of the debates; the LibDems 2, and the final debate is intended to be Miliband versus Cameron.

Does anyone in England get fed up with the ubiquity of Will Self? His views here are a little strange, especially his definition of satire https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNbn_QeY4Dk

Yes, of course it's fair to ask that but do you expect any different from the Daily Mail? This is interesting (only 1 or maybe 2 I agree with but it gives some understanding of the breaks in French society that need fixing)...

No, it's the part in bold before the start of the article saying that the reprinting of the cartoon may cause offence - ffs, what world do we live in?

Can anyone spot, in this article, the most pathetic line I have ever seen in the Guardian? http://www.theguardian.com/media/2015/jan/13/charlie-hebdo-cover-magazine-prophet-muhammad

If this is directed at me that is not what I said - I never said the march 'failed' but lamented the fact no-one seems concerned about solving the wider issues.

Clive, Is there something wrong with you? You are behaving like someone with huge anger issues insofar as your responses to BH and Warbler are bordering on crazy, and drawing concluions based on things they neither said nor inferred. You need to calm down. All BH is suggesting (and I agree...

Serious question - do you think blasphemy being a criminal offence is in line with freedom of speech? Ireland has had its people destroyed by that evil church yet continues to prop it up in so many ways.

No-one said it was as bad, Clive. What BH inferred (I assume) is that leaders walking in a march in memorium of journalists whose raison d'être was free speech is more than a touch hypocritical. Surely you can see that. It would have been better with no politicians.

Do you think this march makes the idlest bit of difference to extremists? Have you heard one word about a plan to solve social issues or even acceptance of a problem? Me neither. Maybe Europe's problems will just disappear by chance?!

By that reckoning shouldn't the prime minister of Italy attend every murder of a Catholic all over Europe?

They would have been, but they politicised it which was a big mistake. Whether you are pro or anti Israel, neither Netanyahu nor Abbas should have been there. it distracts from what should be a march of the people in commemoration of those killed (and solidarity). Netanyahu has used the occasion...

Warbler, you don't seem to understand either Cameron or Farage, and have severely mistaken their respective abilities. You seem all over the place politically based on this and the Paris shootings topic - you should read up on UKIP's policies and watch some Farage videos and you'll see Cameron...

Clive, 3 minutes in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOvTgi2bRgY

They have a truly wonderful spirit.. Charlie Hebdo’s editor has said his killed colleagues won’t be dead in the magazine’s next issue, Anne Penketh reports from Paris. Gérard Briard said next week’s edition “won’t be an obituary. In the next Charlie, they’re not dead.” In video-ed remarks on...

What exactly has Farage got to scare Cameron with? Cameron can easily win the EU argument - promised referendum, 'I believe the people should decide' etc etc. They move on to other topics and Farage will be a laughing stock, his policies were hilarious last time out. FFS, he couldn't even put an...

Clegg is comfortably the smartest leader in British politics. He has made some political errors but intellectually he is miles above the others. You have the impression Cameron doesn't have any intellectual beliefs, but is chameleon-like. Miliband is too technical and doesn't see the bigger...

I never saw this now but why you cited me I have no idea.

Main feeling here is one of relief; I did like the approach of the French to this, no fanfare, the media ere extremely controlled and didn't report anything doubtful and at times were clear they were holding things back till confirmed. This allowed police and special forces to do their job as...

Charlie Hebdo's remaining writers have arrived at Liberation, who are hosting them in their office and will help them put together next week's edition. Usually they sell 60,000 / week, next week's print run will be 1,000,000. Le Monde have also offered anything needed, so it's good to see the...
