And any operation called "Market Garden" was bound to be a disaster!

I spotted it elsewhere too. Didn't want to undermine the content of his argument though, or lack of it.

By the way, this thread is simply titled 'fanatics', fanatics who appear throughout the world, and aren't confined to any one nation.
fa·nat·ic (f -n t k) n. A person marked or motivated by an extreme, unreasoning enthusiasm, as for a cause.
A Stanley supporter could argue their case here, or one of the party faithfull could push their politics, without veering off thread, or breaking forum rules.

To list them would be difficult, I get home once a year see friends and family, I talk with them and their friends, these are the people on the ground, real people who are experiencing the hardships and difficulties. Yes we have these assets in UK, but does everyone get a fair crack at them ?? you're the one for the headlines & articles, guarantee you'd find them if you look, but you won't because that would go against you. It would be wrong for me to say one town,city,district or area, as I am not there to confirm this, but before you decry heresy, why should the people lie to me ?
Again we run up against your tendency towards verbatim acceptance of the written word, an expression is used & you allow no variation to its' context in the discussion.
Even in "third World Countries" there is an availability of the specifics you mentioned,although rudimentary & rustic these facilities exist. show me a Country that has no roads, no healthcare( it may be a man with a stick & some beads who mutters away but for the people he is their healthcare). The Aboriginal culture managed well enough without Schools they managed to educate their youngsters, and they're still here today.
"Fanatic" some may consider the application of this epithet to you and your seeming desire to have things seen as you see them to be. Once more there appears to be no ground that you will not let stand as a fair assumption & allow it some credence, it must be your view or there is no alternative or compromise.
And I think you made a bad call on knocking the Stanley Faithful mate

Blame the new secretary, whom I dictate to, because the Parkinson's now affects both hands, making it harder still to type myself.
You just can't get the staff these days, unless you hire someone from the third world.

On the contrary, I'd have thought if they existed, these areas of the UK that were akin to the third world, in that they had no access to the welfare and benefits system, the NHS, and free education etc, would be a perfectly easy thing to do.

Re: fanatics
Talking of fanatics, has anyone taken a look at the BNP website? A sizeable proportion of the characters posting messages of support seem to have trouble using their mother tongue. What chance do the non-indigenous inhabitants of our country have of becoming assimilated into our culture/society if these are an example of the people wishing to form a government?

Perhaps those 'white-is-right' knuckle heads, who post on the BNP forum, come from the parts of the country that are akin to the third world, and sadly had no access to the education system.

You're being literal again. Where is it in the third world that they have no access, as stated there is always some form of amenity it may not be on their doorstep but something is available, same as in UK it may not be on your doorstep but something is in place.
as long as you insist on being literal, we won't get any further on with this, I must admit to frustration with this and your dogged obsession with the UK/3rd World comparison, perhaps it may have been the wrong euphemism to use, is that what you're wanting, for me to say I'm wrong ? If it makes you happy "I was wrong" there do we feel better now ? I'm not to proud or stubborn to say it, now maybe you can move on & talk about what this link is about !! the peoples feelings towards Muslim fanatics & their attitude towards their host nation.
or as I've just seen the new entries any other kind of Fanatic
