Royal Marine shot dead in Afghanistan gun battle

I'm sick of it. We lost yet another British soldier today. That brings the total to 302. And all of the while the news media seem obsessed with the World Cup.

S** the World Cup: there's a war on and our boys are getting killed.

Bring our boys home now.

And, yes, I know: our American allies have lost well over a thousand lives in this same misguided adventure. Our hearts go out to all of their loved ones at home and their friends who are still in that hell-hole.
