Geeklawyer was struck by the contrast between Brown & Blair on this. Blair would have put on his best ‘Man in Charge of a Crisis’ face and told us that we shouldn’t panic but that we are all in dire peril. John Reid would have stood behind him nodding and saying “I just wish those in Parliament would stop helping terrorists by preventing us getting the laws we want”.
In fact these ‘bombs’ were merely incendiary devices the clowns setting them off could even get hold of explosives so they tried triggering explosions by heating the cannisters. Woefully ineffective and detonating gas cylinders pose a minor shrapnel risk.
Christ, compare that to the IRA — laughable. And yet Blair is telling us these are a new class of ultra-lethal terrorists we should surrender our liberties for.
I like mashups rather amusing take on it.
For a sane analysis watch this ex-CIA man on MSNBC.
It’s a pathetic attack attempt, I mean why bother driving a car packed with a few aerosal cans into somewhere? Why not just lob a few molotov cocktails? I mean it was so shit that one of the ‘terroists’ resorted to trying to throw petrol onto his burning car, whilst setting himself on fire to try and inflict more damage. I mean if I saw that i’d just point and laugh.
Still 90 days detention and phone tap evidence is what’s needed apparently.
I sighed when I read the papers — the usual hysterical crap “could have killed hundreds says a senior police officer” yea, hundreds of flies.
The smell of burning flesh might have put a few commuters of their Almond Crossiants and Expresso’s.
Soon they will be upgrading to throwing biological agents aka dog shit in drive by attacks.
