FINALLY, we are to join other sane nations in combatting the terrorists. Take France, atrocity Friday then bombing by Sunday.

We would have still been getting Cobra organised in that time.

Thank goodness Tom and Jerry of the Labour Party are not in charge, they would be writing a strong protest letter whilst beheadings went ahead in Darlington market place.

As long as we can get a shot off before the Health and Safety people get round to issuing ear defenders, and the bleeding hearts start to bleat about human rights, we may have a chance. Remember them come election time.
