"I will stand up for Gary Barlow, he does a lot of work for charity,"
and that means it is secondary to his willingness to pay taxes. I couldn't believe Ian Ross then went for an even more corny Excuse of the Rich and Powerful, "80% of which you never hear about." Like with members of the Royal Family, until their lackeys have to fawn over them on breakfast TV. Ian Royce had earlier offered the observation that the Islamic State is "fighting everybody", which made me despair of the quality of political commentary on Sky, when nobody can be found to correct this comedian*, and point out that in Syria ISIS fight people of all faiths and none but mostly Sunni Muslims affiliated to the revolution, but not Assad so much. Also, Stephen Sotloff went to Syria to cover "humanitarian problems", because for Ian Royce it's easier to classify Syria as a humanitarian problem when you don't understand what the conflict is about. Much like those who won't show any meaningful solidarity with the fight against Assad and ISIS by the Free Syrian Army because that would be to invite "humanitarian" or "liberal" intervention by the UK and the US.
Assad's forces are attacking civilians with parachute bombs** in Jobar, one of the suburbs of Damascus he hit with chemical weapons last year, but it would be to get your head out of your arse to worry about that.
