Paying Ransoms

cyberdemon [Edit] [Delete] 10:15, 1 July '08

I don’t know if it’s been covered before, but channel 4 have been apparently giving British money to nasty nasty bad people. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article4232320.ece (look, i read The Times, a very respected newspaper, so respected in fact that my father used to read it a few years ago, and he’s a massive Tory, and as such, I hold him in high regard, or something) (look, the link has the word ‘tol’ in it, that’s like a different version of ‘lol’)

Anyway, I’ve gone off the point a bit. I’m now scared for my life that nasty nasty bad people will come and kidnap me, because they might be able to get more British money, which I think is unacceptable.

I could never fully understand the gut wrenching options available to those involved in the decision to pay up, without experiencing it first hand, but it’s now set a precedent, that countries such as the Italians have set previously, and I think it’s a very bad move.

What are your thoughts?
