The British security services MI5 and MI6 have identified the British member of the Islamic State jihadist organization who is suspected of murdering American journalist James Foley, according to the London-based Sunday Times newspaper.

The newspaper attributed the information to "senior government sources."

The Sunday Times did not name the killer, saying that its sources "gave no details of the man they have identified," though it did give the name of a person it described as a "key suspect" – hip-hop artist Abdel-Majed Abdel Bary.

According to the newspaper, Bary, 23, left his family's home in an upmarket London suburb last year. It says he recently tweeted a picture of himself holding up a severed head.

The gruesome video of Foley's beheading, which was released last week, featured a man with a London accent. The newspaper said that Bary is known to fellow fighters as “Jihadi John.”

The Islamic State, also known as ISIS, has conquered considerable swathes of land in Iraq and Syria in recent months.

>The government shouldn't have bailed out any of the automotive or banking companies.

> George Galloway should be PM

Damn right <.<

Probably every opinion I have.

Problem is, which economists should be listened to more? Economics isn't an exact science and you'll find that a lot of highly educated and intelligent economists still disagree on many of today's issues.

I'd take technocracy to the ends of the earth <.<
Proper technocracy mind you, not just extended cronyism.

Take the badger cull debacle, they ignore the advice of all the scientists and insist on shooting them to appease the fucking farmers. It makes it worse, they don't kill enough of them and ohohoho look at that, ignoring scientists led to what? A mess.

Or Mental Health services, you have Psychiatrists and The royal college putting it as bluntly as they can that it's failing millions and they keep cutting it. Do they put more funding into it? Nope. Do they slash it's budget again and again? Of course they fucking do, they are tories.

This is why I tend to avoid political discussion, because it usually ends up with me getting pissed off >.>

And an equally, if not longer list of problems caused by politicians and statesmen can also be drawn up.

Scientists and Economists > Politicians.

> mfw it was the Scottish who conquered England and not the other way around.

The shittiest people are the ones who are assholes to each other over political opinions. You don't have to agree with Recon, but to dislike him because you don't agree with him is pretty low. You have to be under some pretty strong political indoctrination to really make it your priority to hate people with different opinions.

I've explained to you before, the "militarization" of police isn't bad. We live in a new age where serious threats are being made constantly and foreign groups are trying to cause harm to the nation.

Your context of speech says otherwise. When you speak about an organization or group, then you're talking about everybody affiliated with it. Don't want people to think that? Say something like "what the fuck is wrong with certain cops in the U.S?"
