I'm not keen on the thought of the extermination of Canada, Black notwithstanding. However, I doubt that sufficient competent microbiologists, engineers etc. could be persuaded to assist the Taleban in playing with lethal micro-organisms... it just doesn't sound like a move likely to result in a long or happy life. LOL, can you imagine the sales pitch: "OK, so you want me to move to a war zone, beset by the US and sundry allies, who are working with Russia's blessing to destroy my hosts. Those hosts are primitive neo-barbarians who view me and my kind as a holy enemy. And you want me to work on lethal bacteria, with antiquated and inadequate equipment and unskilled, uneducated help; in a cave, in the middle of the civil war; and you say they'll pay really really well when I'm finished, and protect me from every enemy. Yep. The little pixie voices in my head tell me it is good." ROFL, I'd think we're pretty safe with anyone they might recruit. Flying a plane is simple compared with culturing botulinus... I remember Black being recommended for a title - I suspect by the Tory party here, the Telegraph's always been on the RW, Eurosceptic wing under his ownership [it's often called the Torygraph]. I'm not sure why he's Eurosceptic, mind you - nor why he's so virulent since he lives on a different continent. I presume he sees the whole of Europe as a nest of Reds. Mind you, on that UKAR site... interesting. Now the last time I saw a similar list of claims to this: 100% anti-Nazi 100% anti-Communist 100% anti-Zionist (complete with Jewish star, if you please) 100% anti-Hate was on the banners of the Socialist Workers Party, a lunatic band of splinter Trotskyists (or Leninist-Maoists, or whatever, who cares). 'Neither Washington nor Moscow but International Socialism'. They were very anti-Zionist too. A rump still exists but they were far more noticeable in the 1970's-80's. I'm sure many of their workers (mainly students, actually) were completely sincere. However it later emerged that they were subsidised by more conventional far-left bodies...
