It's not even secret. Saudi Arabia loving love Daesh's actions in destabilising Iran's allies.

The moves by the Saudis, Bahrain, the U.A.E. and Egypt came barely a week after U.S. President Donald Trump visited the region and joined Saudi Arabia in lambasting Iran for sponsoring terrorism from Syria to Yemen.

May's once again loving up at a press conference:Graun posted:Q: Do you accept that you were wrong to accuse those who criticised the police cuts of “crying woolf”. Do you accept that that was wrong, and would you reverse police cuts? The 11:18 thing was a pre-recorded statement saying she's great and didn't do anything wrong + Corbyn's gay.

Instead I'll do my usual routine - wake up, roll over despondently to see how badly things have been hosed up overnight, and then use all that lovely rage and despair to lift heavy things. 2015 got me a new bench PR, so I've high hopes for 2017

If I were in a standard office environment, I would. However, I'm on a service desk and will get a number of calls from customer service desks, and be expected to call out to end users, and if I have a bad call it'll affect my bonus for this quarter.

Was reading this morning that the YouGov poll last week that suggested a hung parliament used MRP, which is a relatively new and theoretically very good methodology. It has issues with differential non-response but its daddy, Andrew Gelman, predicted a narrow Trump win with it. He cautions not to read too much into that, mind.MiddleOne posted:What does shoot to kill even imply considering that the last three were shot tod death by the police. Do they currently not aim for the torso or something? Shoot to kill in the Northern Ireland context (which Corbyn was using) was the practice of pre-emptively shooting terrorist suspects, often before they could be seen to have committed an offence.

Isn't there some confusion where it actually refers to pre-emptively killing terrorists (a la the IRA getting taken down in Gibraltar), rather than the use of lethal force generally?

If a policeman saw known jihadists who weren't in the process of committing a crime they could execute them on the spot. Obviously shoot to kill is not current policy.

Doesnt it really all hinge around the severity of the situation. If a guy is running around with a knife then you should try to subdue him, at worst a pop shot in the leg to take him down. But if someone is in a bomb jacket then I dont know if they have much choice.

But if someone is in a bomb jacket then I dont know if they have much choice. The point is, that's not 'shoot to kill'. It's about extra-judicial killing, launching missions to murder criminals rather than arrest them.
