Over the past few weeks, I see that rhetoric Ray Davies has been having his usual rants in relation to Nato, Barack Obama, David Cameron, the Israelis and children sitting on tanks and how everybody apart from Muslim jihadists are to blame for all that is wrong in the world. Normally I would dismiss his views as being those of a man who lives in a world of his own with no real concept of the issues that he speaks about. However, what really concerns me is that when he wrote about the murder of journalist James Foley, whilst he was content to apportion blame on others he never once saw fit to condemn his beloved jihadists who butchered an innocent man, nor show any sympathy for the loss of an innocent man’s life. So, Ray, how about condemning the actions of those who committed this atrocity and then I may begin to think that you do have some decency. A final word to Ray and his fellow peace protesters, it is Nato that keeps the peace.
