I was darned pleased yesterday to hear that an RAF plane had left Brize Norton to drop some basic needs to refugees including the civilians who'd fled up the mountain. Having heard reports of what the religious zealots are doing to children I think if I were stranded on a mountain top I'd like the RAF to drop a supply of pills which would quickly and quietly end the life of any child I had as I wouldn't want him/her to suffer such barbaric treatment:
- £2m of emergency supplies for 75,000, including aid to be dropped to those trapped on Mount Sinjar
- The supplies include resusable filtration containers filled with clean water, solar lights that can also be used to recharge mobile phones, and tents and tarpaulins
