    These polls usually send the nationals of countries not at the top into a hissy fit.

    Germany is one of the most desirable places to work for the foreign staff at our Japanese office. Beautiful environment, great standard of living, friendly people and fantastic beer. They also have a bizarre idea that holidays of more than 4 days are not exorbitant.

    @CGBSpender Japan has 'a lot more culture and history than Korea'? I'd be very interested to read your history textbooks. Can you recommend any? I seem to have been misinformed.

    'Divine Punishment'. This idiotic, childish mindset belongs with the 'your mum is so fat....' class of response.

    Cameron has said what is expected of him. 'Betrayal' and 'perversion' seem to be the words of choice whenever an outrage like this happens. This does seem to be a religion with more perversions and betrayals than most.

    Sorry! I wanted to finish that with - the danger of reprisals is very real, particularly in a place with a history of racial tensions like Woolwich.

    @WilliB As Burakumin pointed out concerning reprisals, the EDL are already on the case. They are a far-right group populated by football hooligans and similar types who have attempted to gain respectability by emphasizing their dislike of Islam snd other foreign ideologies ( nrather than focusing on skin colour. I have no time for any religion,

    A Zogby Poll last year, before this appalling upsurge in violence, found that the majority of Iraqis said that their country is now in the worst state in terms of security, economy, infrastructure ( no surprise there ) and most shocking of all, political freedom. Despite the increasingly desperate claims of improvement from Iraqi politicians, the country is now heading for civil war - many Iraqis feel this is inevitable now. The worst case scenario is terrifying to contemplate, with some analysts claiming that it could make Pakistan look like a bastion of stability and see the already awful death toll triple. Perhaps the US and UK will be popping in again to see our Iraqi friends in the future who, as predicted, welcomed them as liberators. I'm sure they'll be as equally grateful this time around.

    The verbal diarrhea just keeps coming. It's encouraging that the majority of Japanese don't accept his views, but the very fact that he will remain in office after he's piled this toxic rubbish sky-high will speak louder than any opinion poll.

    'Mad, swivel-eyed loons'. Pretty accurate. Cameron has thrown whole carcasses of red meat to the nutty rightwing but they still want more. Watching the Tories tear themselves apart over Europe is a great tradition. Keep it up.

    @tkoind2 Sorry, but your claim to the planet won't be any good in China. One of the nuttier claims ( a competitive field ) from some Chinese propaganda is that the Han 'race' cannot trace its ancestry to Africa. They claim to have a 120,000 year-old specimen to prove it. I'm afraid you'll have be content with flogging them raw materials and putting up with territorial claims.

    A good thing. This business will hopefully extinguish any terrifying possibility that this obnoxious loudmouth could be taken seriously, or become a serious force in national politics. It's too late to house train him, but maybe we can keep him chained up in his little patch of the garden.

    This type of exaggeration just gives ammunition to the denialists in Japan. To take the example of Nanking, China has inflated the death toll to a level which most mainstream historians don't accept, leaving the door open for sinister accusations of complete lies rather than exaggerations from the Japanese right. The generally accepted facts are gruesome enough without the need for egregious embellishment. It's both hateful and counterproductive.

    I've seen some of the WW2 dramas made in China and they would be comical if they weren't so hateful. I remember the fury that erupted over the idiotic, anti-Muslim film 'Rules of Engagement'. That film is thoughtful, fair and balanced compared to this rubbish.

    Uniqlo definitely - something still relevant. The electrical goods manufacturers on this list are largely living on past glories. How about the watchmakers? Seiko, Citizen and Casio. Casio in particular for the G-Shock.

    In my lifetime Schmeichel, Maldini, Baresi, Sammer, Carlos Alberto, Maradona, Zidane, Michael Laudrup, R Baggio, Van Basten, Messi. Subs: Southall, C Ronaldo, Gullit, Ronaldo, Hagi, Careca, Rijkaard. Manager - Ferguson.

    @Marcels I just wonder how 'the great Sir Alex Ferguson' was so prepared to play and laud such an overrated player. His decision to flog Beckham wasn't based on his lack of ability. It seemed to be more about Beckham's fashion/modeling nonsense and what Ferguson saw as a lack of focus. So, the overrated Beckham managed to fool the managers of Man U, Real Madrid, AC Milan and PSG with his blond streaks, 6-pack stomach and sarong? Perhaps he wasn't as stupid as the media liked to tell us.

    Dennis Healey, a wise old political bruiser, once gave us Healey's first law of holes. If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging. Hashimoto is caked in dirt and is still burrowing down. Let's hope he doesn't resurface.
