"Right. It's now 12:45 on a Friday afternoon and I'm on HYS.
I'm predicting that by 2pm we'd have had at least one "Let's blame the immigrants" comment on here."
Yep, and it was an even shorter amount of time before the Left wing pre-emptive strike on the right. Well done!

Thanks Peter that info is very useful. Iran are being a tad dodgy but Like Widuram says if it was the Iranians on UKs border I would hope we would do the same thing and capture them and interrogate them as terror suspects. I also agree about them being shown on T.V. I think it is a very good thing they are shown on TV but why are the soldiers apologizing? Are they being tortured? They look pretty well to me. The apology looks like a real one. The soldeirs will be returned with no violence.

Oh Dear Oh Dear and you were doing so well on being sensible. This is a complete myth. Ask some of the people in detention centres, or the people begging because they arent allowed benefits.
Philby bradlaugh, United Kingdom
I met someone who worked in a detention centre last night and he did say that these people don't get benefits. There are a lot of myths flying around it keeps it interesting.

What border? Our borders have more holes than the plot of the Da Vinci Code.
We would have interogated them though!
“Claiming asylum sir, when would you like to pick up the key to your new flat sir? How much would you like in benefits sir?”

[therightiswrong] "I have a question. Some people are claming Iran have changed the coordinates of where they captured our troops. Where do they get this info from?"
The BBC reported it 2 days ago. We produced our data showing our guys 1.3 miles inside Iraqi waters. The iranians then said we were lying an were actually at point X. When it was pointed out that point X was still 0.5 mi in iraqi waters they produced a 2nd location just inside their zone.

Funny how the BBC mods find time to bother with this non-story, yet the important one about Iran has had over 20,000 posts sent in with only 3,500 odd actually on the site...
BBC bias is well and truly out for all to see.

but I am sure our army would have acted the same if Iranian boats were off our border. We would have interrogated them as terror suspects.

Let us talk about Iran like Peter Sym and co say in a non modded thread and stuff the BBC.
I do think the Iran situation doesn't look good but I am sure our army would have acted the same if Iranian boats were off our border. We would have interrogated them as terror suspects. I also think the fact that the soldiers are on TV is a good thing as at least we can all see they are safe and well treated unlike the terror suspects. I also think that we will get our soldiers back no probs!

By the way - it's past 2pm and I stand corrected. No one has blamed immigrants for the banking problems. Well, not in earnest, anyway.

I'm not sure I think this is true. My impression of the majority of the posts on HYS is that they are very anti Blair and anti new labour.
I've always imagined the BBC to be very left wing so am always surprised by the amount of anti government, very un-left wing stuff that gets through.

"The idiotic sniping and off-topic posts are just demonstrating that self-moderation doesn't work." ~ Paul Smith, UK
I'd rather have that than some nameless moderator deciding what get's published and what doesn't. It is nigh impossible to respond to someone's opinion without it being pre-censored just because it doesn't meet some undeclared pre-conceived criteria.
We need a discussion system more like Slashdot's (minus the inane banter) whereby debates are threaded and you reply to anyone.

In the Q&A on this subject it states:
"What exactly is Bacs

It is also the system that underlies both the telephone and internet banking services offered to the public."
That is patently incorrect and untrue, but seems to have been included to further alarm the public.
