In the confusion a Viking has rolled over a Marine. Both cabs — 12 tonnes — right over his torso....Not only is the Marine alive, but his bones are unbroken and his insides uncrushed. The weight displacement of the Viking is more than just myth.
Pritty amazing.
If they start bringing foreign fighters in we would end up bombing more, killing locals, and everything we’d have done in the begining would be lost
I don't know if that was the smartest thing to stick on the site.

Instead, there was an article on some dotty old geezer who took to painting circles around potholes(BBC1) and an item on Robbie Williams having left rehab(C4).
Am I totally wrong in thinking they should at the very least have acknowledged the death of a British soldier?
Is this the beginning of a trend where the news value wallahs decide that the death of British Servicemen and women is not worth mentioning?
couldnt agree more with what youre saying. doesnt it just make you sick?
