WHERE WAS THE OUTRAGE WHEN EIGHTEEN SYRIAN OFFICERS HAD THEIR HEADS SAWN OFF?

The future looks as bleak for that Jordanian pilot shot down by Islamic State today than it does for Ukraine under the IMF jackboot.

But just a month ago Islamic State beheaded eighteen Syrian officers in a filmed mass execution. Some in the west even applauded. Most just shrugged their shoulders as if Syrian military personnel don't matter.

I went to the supermarket this afternoon for last minute stuff. The usual banal and most inappropriate songs were being played on the PA: War Is Over by John Lennon was one that stood out as the most banal and most inappropriate. The war on Syria rages on and on. As I explained earlier there is very strong evidence to suggest that David Haines and Alan Henning were allowed to have their heads sawn off to provide a casus belli for war. Nobody in the supermarket was happy. The majority looked slightly annoyed that they had to get the shopping done by 4pm and then wrap the presents and take them round, all that stuff. I sensed that apathy on the train the other day when that young boy began to sing "If you're happy and you know it clap your hands": his mother told him to shush without even looking up from her phone and everybody else except myself didn't even look up and/or smile.

And that apathy is exemplified by that unspecial someone who can't even be arsed to ask how they could help, despite me telling them if they can't help (which I don't think will be the case) then they will never hear from me again.

War is over if you want it?
Forget it. The people want sex, money and a Dyson.
