In 2007 I'd like to see a lot more of my legitimate comments getting past the moderators.I have opinions I would like to express.

What do I hope will happen in 2007?
That contributors to Have Your Say discussions learn basic spelling and grammar before expecting anyone else to take their ideas seriously.

My priorities are to help the people I can actively help as there is so much I cannot influence. I hope the Human Rights Act 1998 can be repealed or amended as it has unintentionally created so much inequality and unfairness. I don't think much will change because as a 'civilised society' we don't get tough when we should. I worry about climate change which is happening NOW. Phone me anytime on 07973 251191.

Margaret, whatever the BBC do about your number on this website, change your phone number as fast as you can. There are some real nutters out there.

I hope that Europe wises up to the Islamic timebomb it's sitting on. See for example the fellow who wants Sharia law imposed in the UK. Funny how they demand an Islamic world free from outside influence, but show no such respect for our culture and heritage.

Can i just clarify something?
America got into WW2 because a German U-boat sank one of their ships,not because they wanted to save englishmen!
If anyone could find Rosevelts speach about milking the english cow they would see what was really going on!
Truth be know we would all be German had they not tried to take Russia at the same time!
America have never saved the world! They contributed in a joint venture that was started by the British who were offered assistance from Canada!

That Muslims stop telling us infidels we have to educate ourselves about Islam everytime someone from their community committs a hate crime. Furthermore I wish they would educate themselves on Buddhism. I am not a Buddhist myself but it is plain to see that self proclaimed peace religion could learn a lot from it.

Correct me if i'm wrong but i dont think Germany had U-Boats in WW1
What are your wishes for 2007?
Ian Simpson, America entered WW2 because Germany declared war on them to eliminate them with the help of japan. the ship sinking which you talk about was in WW1 which didnt get America into the war. anyway, i have hopes, but i know that they will be shattered by America and Britain with their daft foreign policy. my only other one is to get an interview at Oxford Uni!!

You've now understood - they want to take you back to the middle ages. & the way you are going - it could happen.

Germany certainly did have submarines in WWI, one of which sunk the RMS Lusitania in 1915. That act contributed to America's subsequent entry into the war.

"Sharia Law!!" Asif Khan, London, United Kingdom
Well Asif, I may not agree with what you say but I'll fight to my dying breath for your right to say it. Would Sharia law do the same for me? No?
So, why don't you live in a country that practises said law? Could it be our benefit system? Could it be you're a conduit for the rest of your family to move here, & claim more of my hard earned taxes? Or is it none of these, that you're just plain stupid. Hmmm, it's a real problem, isn't it?
What are your wishes for 2007?
My priority for the New Year is to replace the present government with one that will:
1. Close our borders to all but tourists
2. Remove all illegal immigrants (no excuses, no appeals)
3. Repeal the Human Rights Act
4. Leave the European Union
5. Stop offshoring British jobs
6. Close down all non-English speaking radio and TV stations and newspapers
7. Stop all foreign language translations of government, local authority and other "official" documents
8. Ban veils in public places

British "outrage" at US policies and tactics is the most hypocritical thing ever.....
Sasha Jones, Baltimore, MD, United States"
Where is the hypocrisy in my comments, to which you refer? Where is the "outrage"? I am not "outraged", I am not even surprised.
I note the gap in your list of "Policies and Tactics." "Strategy" should sit in that gap (but you don't have one do you?)
"Here's to the shortest Empire ever, the good ol' US of A"!

Sharia Law !!
Asif Khan, London, United Kingdom
This country is a democracy. When the majority wish for Sharia law it may happen. If not you are free to relocate to a country where Sharia law is practised. Until then please accept the laws of the UK in the same way that I accept Sharia law when working in countries where it is practised.

"Muslims to be allowed to live their own lives with their own laws and customs without interference from others !!!!"
I don't care what your religion is. You abide by the laws of the country you live in, not the laws your religion chooses. If you can't live by the laws of the country then please leave and feel free to find a country which will allow your laws.

William Richards...you say that "when the majority wish for sharia law it may happen". That day may not be as far away as you think !!

Religion is our only hope. If humanity forgets God, God also forgets us.
Metehan Unal, Ankara, Turkey
Judeo-Christian morality is our only hope because it teaches that God would never forget us.
What are your wishes for 2007?
1. Very strict controls on immigration...certainly zero net immigration ...the country is full !!
2. Repatriation of all illegal immigrants, regardless of their length of stay in this country...and absolutely no amnesty.
3. Scrapping of the European Human Rights legislation which has proved a disaster.

[Please, no more "be afraid, be very afraid" rhetoric and resulting stranglehold on the American psyche.] Tom PIeper, Ottawa, Canada
Huh? That's rich. I think it's quite obvious that it's not Americans who are posessed by irrational Chicken Littleism these days, but people going on and on about the now lame duck Bush and how he's destroying the world and we're all gonna die and blah, blah, blah. Things will be fine.
What are your wishes for 2007?
That the USA is sanctioned and blockaded for its multiple war crimes, its use of atomic weapons, its stockpiling of banned weapons, its appalling human rights record at home and abroad, its failure to pay dues to the UN, its trading with and support for dictators around the globe, its failure to sign Kyoto
Thinkingandbeing
Don't be pathetic. I love how people like you like to talk about our "human rights record" while at the same time defending Islamofascism. Oh, and we bankroll the UN.

With due respect, you've never read and understood the Ot if you think that the demon who ordered Moses to 'kill all that breathes' wants us as more than property.
The sooner we flush that nonsense the better! 2007 is as good a start point as any.

Sharia Law !!
Asif Khan, London, United Kingdom
Sorry Asif, but you are on the wrong part of the world for that. Us women have rights on this part of the world, go back to the third one if that is how you feel and have your daughters repressed and raped!

A great way to win friends and influence people. Islam isn't the only southern Asian/middle eastern religion... and I don't think the Sikhs, the Hindus, the Jews would take kindly to that. The Buddhists wouldn't care.
The tribes of Abraham have always been a problem, all three of us... :D
What are your wishes for 2007?
Newcastle United to get rid of Freddie Shepherd and his cronies, who think that "Newcastle women are dogs", and who laugh at the fact they buy replica shirts for £5 and flog them to supporters for £40 plus ! (But more fools us for buying them !).

No you don't. The US may give space to the UN in one of its' remaining tall buildings, but it is also often in default of a major part of the US contribution. Given that the UN always sanctions US wishes, and those of the Israeli puppet state, you get good value, don't you?

Oh its far away, wasim. You've apparently never crossed a western woman. There are millions of us and we're easily infuriated. No way we're going to roll over and let that happen.

Muslim population in the UK stands at about 5%.A long way off a majority. Though I see Islam as a peaceful religion, unfortunately extremist elements spoil this image.
UK will never alow the law to:
1. Stone women for adultary.
2. Cut off the right hand of a thief.
3. Kill in the name of Jihad
4. Ill treat Women

to all the American bashers. i'd like them to realise that bush is just one single American and not! all of the people. and to just ease up please, there are a lot of young American kids that lay in fields all over Britain, they gave their lives for us to be free englishmen. how do you think their brothers and children feel! when you bad mouth them all. Yanks are nice people too y'know. they have the same problem we do(an idiot in charge) give em a break.

British "outrage" at US policies and tactics is the most hypocritical thing ever. Best joke of 2006 at least, if not the decade so far.

What are your wishes for 2007?
I will not be optimistic. The conflict between America and Iran will continue. Israel will continue to make torture to Palestineans. America and Israel will continue to show Muslims as terrorists. Riches will be richer, poors will be poorer. Europe is going to atheism with racism. New Nazis and Stalins is coming.I am sorry but peace is just dream. Don't deceive ourselves. Religion is our only hope. If humanity forgets God, God also forgets us.
What are your wishes for 2007?
That people PLEASE stop using the overworked pun "BLiar" when talking about the PM. This childish annoyance has got to be the unfunniest thing to put in any serious comment, political or otherwise. As soon as I see it, I switch off reading that comment.
And also that people start thinking of others. What a dreadfully selfish society we have inherited. Please think of your neighbour!
What are your wishes for 2007?
That Tony Blair resigns and we get rid of his sort of religiose righteousness from national and world politics. Is there not somewhere out there a politician who could make mistakes and say sorry?

Sharia Law !!

"people grasp the concept of radical Islamic terrorism instead of blaming Western democracies including Israel for every negative event. Religious fundamentalists that kill as many people as they can by blowing themselves up, are terrorists, not freedom fighters! Beaman Bowler, Kent, UK"
That is your point of view, to which you are entitled.
Mine is that the State of Israel was founded by a bunch of bombing, murdering, terrorist thugs who gave and give cause to current Arab terrorism.

Would that include those too lazy to add the extra 'o' in 'too'?

My other wish for 2007 is for the entire world to rise up against Bush and Blair if they attack Iran.

My hopes are that that bush and blair be hanged for there crimes against the people of iraq, that place is now worse off because of their lying to create a war so that they could have oil
What are your wishes for 2007?
Its not a wish but its a longtime comming prediction. This year the anti islamic feeling will grow and movments will start to spring up and give the muslims living in the west the war they wanted as everbodys had enough of our goverment pandering to everything the islamics protest about they walked with banners in our capital saying behead anyone who dose not like their god do you really think this did not start people wanting to fight back
The UN's new Secretary General takes over. The French vote for a new president and the UK gets a new PM. Russia could join the World Trade Organisation. Germany assumes the presidency of the G8.
Security, the economy, trade and climate change are some of the issues expected to dominate the thoughts of world leaders. There's also nuclear proliferation, migration and new technology.
What are your priorities in the New Year? What do you hope will happen? What do you think will happen? How do you think the world will change in the next 12 months?
This will be the subject of the Have Your Say programme on Sunday 31 December at 1400 on World, World Service Radio and Online. Include you phone number if you want to take part. It will not be published.
